Trump’s Housing Ideas vs Reality: What Buyers & Sellers Need to Know in 2026 | Tom’s Take 464

President Trump discussed housing policy at the World Economic Forum, and a lot of ideas are being thrown around — from mortgage-backed securities purchases to credit card interest caps and changes to capital gains taxes on primary residences.

We’ll look at interest rates, affordability, inventory, proposed policy changes, and why supply — not spending power — remains the biggest issue in housing. If you’re thinking about buying or selling in 2026, understanding local data, realistic affordability, and long-term planning matters more than headlines.
