Would a 50-year mortgage make homeownership more affordable? The Trump administration is working on a plan for a mortgage term that spans five decades, Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte confirmed this weekend,

The Trump administration is working on a plan to introduce a 50-year fixed-rate mortgage with the goal of making homeownership more affordable.

Over the weekend, top federal housing official Bill Pulte floated the idea of a 50-year mortgage with President Trump.

Trump proposes 50-year mortgages to ease housing costs, but experts say the plan won't solve America's fundamental supply and demand housing crisis.

Most first-time homebuyers take out 30-year mortgages. Under a new proposal from the Trump administration, they may soon get 20 more years to pay them off.

President Donald Trump downplayed criticism of the potential creation of a 50-year mortgage product, saying it would help more Americans afford monthly payments on homes.

U.S. President Donald Trump downplayed possible 50-year mortgages as a way to make houses more affordable than typical 30-year loans, as some supporters balked at a plan that would have homeowners paying more in interest and taking longer to build equity.

President Donald Trump brushed off conservative backlash to his administration’s exploration of 50-year home loans, arguing the plan could slightly ease monthly payments amid soaring housing costs, even as critics warn it would trap buyers in decades of debt.
