gregfielding.housingstorm.com Government programs like FHA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HAMP, Tax-Credits, etc, were all designed with the goal of making homeownership more attainable…meaning that more people can now attain a limited supply of homes. Increased demand leads to higher prices…meaning these programs just made housing less attainable. Economically-speaking, we’d be better off if they never existed in the first place.
