CONNECTIONS: Would 50 year mortgages make housing more affordable? (podcast)

The Trump administration’s renewed push to make homeownership more affordable — including a controversial idea to allow 50-year mortgages — is getting fresh scrutiny, and most housing professionals aren’t impressed. On this episode of Connections with Evan Dawson, the conversation breaks down how these proposals would actually work, why many in the real estate industry see them as risky or counterproductive, and what they could mean for buyers already stretched thin. The discussion also turns local, with an updated look at the regional housing market and how current conditions are affecting prices, inventory, and affordability across the Finger Lakes and Western New York.
