    making statements without any reason behind it is cowardly. And you do the same thing.

      Mortgage Rates Today: November 11, 2025 - Rates Hold Firm

      2 days agoJumbo Mortgage Rates Drop 0.83% The current average interest rate on a 30-year fixed-rate jumbo mortgage (a mortgage above 2025's conforming loan limit of $806,500 in most areas) is 6.68%.
      *************************
      having said that, a 50 year mortgage rate would have to be a special rate, much lower. I don't know the calculations either, but I didn't start the thread, you did, stupid.
       
          We refinanced our home when the interest rates fell, and saved about $200,000 dollars in interest.
          We went to a 15 year loan, and paid it off way early. We paid off our 20 acres. A lower interest rate enables a buyer to pay more on the principal. 
          So, off the cuff, a 50 year loan, would, I think, have to be a smaller interest payment, with a greater part of the payment going on the principal of the loan. We don't know what the interest rate would be.
         In the long run, if a buyer has to sell over losing a job, whatever, or dies 30 years later, the house would have accrued a far greater value on the market, and the bank, if they bought the house, could simply sell the house again, and maybe on a 20 year loan, they make even more money on the house.
          Without details and attempting legit reasoning, you only blow stinking smoke out of your tail feathers.
          I haven't even looked into it, but a 50 year mortgage at the same interest rate would be asinine in interest over the life of the loan. But, suppose it was a very low interest rate, a special rate set by the fed, for a 50 year loan - 
        btw, 
       
      "Rising lumber prices have been attributed to several factors, including trade disputes with Canada and increased demand during the pandemic. Critics argue that President Biden's policies and tariffs on Canadian lumber imports have contributed to these higher costs, impacting home construction and affordability."

         A friend bought her house, in a development, and to buy it a month later, it would have added 30,000 bucks to the cost of the home. So much for your liberal dem/lefting dei gov being a good idea.
      ******************************
         so, the details of how it would work, are missing, and that matters as to how it might be a good idea or not.

            Yeah that’s not the post if you’re trying to show how non-mindfucked you are. 

            Being mindfucked is kinda cool though.

                    Decent, however, doesn't it help a young person to save that extra couple hundred until they gain traction later in life to then refi?

                    Remember, I'm not saying it's a great idea or even a good idea, but again, no one is forced to take it.

                    maybe in most situations, even a 15 or 30 year helps big banking, what is the underlying issue(housing cost?) and did he explicitly say it was going to solve it?

                    Nothing really explained or thought through. No responses in good faith to any of the points made by people posting in here. All woody wants to do is trash Trump as he is dumb enough to believe we follow him like a cult leader. Anyone can see why this gets boring.

                      I only wish I could be here when Woody... If he's lucky not to be murdered by an illegal to become old and be told"We told you so"... Wait until his legs start going by his late 30's-early 40's and needs steroid injections for sciatica attacks... But then I get the sense woody never did Hard days work like that of a construction worker or a landscaper.. I'm betting he sits at home or in some office cubicle jacking off to pictures of Harry Sisson...

                        I don't know how someone who is working full time spends so much time on the internet. I would NEVER have done that, and didn't when I was working from home.
