US Debt Hits 40 Trillion What It Means for Housing

The U.S. national debt just crossed $40 trillion for the first time, doubling in a decade. In this episode of The Housing Economy, Lucas and Luna explore what this milestone means for mortgage rates, home prices, and the broader housing market. They break down the Treasury's bond buyback experiments, the pressure on long-term yields, and why the 30-year fixed mortgage rate is hovering near 6.65 percent. With the Fed holding rates steady and the deficit still a political football, they ask whether the lock-in effect gets even deeper. If you're wondering how Washington's debt affects your monthly payment or your home's value, this episode gives you the concrete connections. Lucas brings the numbers, Luna asks the questions you'd ask, and together they unpack a milestone that's both symbolic and structural. #USDebt40Trillion #NationalDebt #MortgageRates #HousingMarket #TreasuryBuybacks #FederalDeficit #LockInEffect #FederalReserve #BondMarket #HomePrices #CaseShiller #30YearFixed #Economics #RealEstate #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #HousingEconomy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
