Could a major policy shift in Washington make housing more affordable and unlock new supply?

In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down a major move by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to roll back a 2024 building code requirement tied to FHA and USDA financing.

The agencies say the rule was adding as much as $20,000 to $31,000 to the cost of building a new home. Now that mandate has been rescinded.

What does this mean for homebuilders, first-time buyers, lenders, and real estate investors?

Kathy explores how this policy change could impact housing supply, build-to-rent opportunities, rural development, affordability, and the future of entry-level housing.

If you invest in real estate or follow housing policy, this is one update you will want on your radar.
