Trump's 50-Year Mortgages Plan: Housing Saviour or Financial Disaster?⎥Ep. 2253
Episode 2253
Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Donald Trump wants to introduce 50-year mortgage terms in the US – a move that could shake global property markets.
In this episode, Ed and Andrew explore what it means, why it matters, and whether something similar could ever happen here in New Zealand.
You’ll learn:
- How 50-year mortgages could make repayments cheaper – but homes more expensive
- Why longer loan terms might help more buyers get in (and push prices up)
- Whether New Zealand could follow the same path, and what that would do to affordability
Ed and Andrew reveal how this policy could boost borrowing by 20%, shift bank behaviour, and potentially drive the next property boom ... if it ever crosses the Pacific.
