I’m writing a follow-up on my GlobeSt.com piece about Trump’s call for $200B in mortgage-backed securities purchases by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (https://www.globest.com/2026/01/12/mortgage-bonds-back-in-the-spotlight-as-trump-urges-massive-purchases/). The new piece is looking at the more complex interplay between long-term Treasurys (especially 10-year notes), the Fed’s actions (not just the MBS asset rundown off its balance sheet but the focus on short-term Treasurys), and the impacts on both consumer mortgages and multifamily financing. Also, if houses get easier to buy, does that potentially leave multifamily investors and owners in more of a pickle, because that would lower demand, increasing the impact of oversupply in some geographic regions.
Looking for experts on mortgage-backed securities, Treasuries, the Fed, and effects on consumer and multifamily mortgages.
