Because government money is endless, as fast as the printing presses can run, Harris wants to put the government in the home buying business.

It's all about "federal subsidies". The money never ends when it's someone else's momey.


Vice President Kamala Harris will outline sweeping new federal subsidies for first-time homebuyers Friday when she addresses a rally in North Carolina.
Bloomberg reports the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee will propose offering as much as $25,000 for first-time homeowners as down payment aid via funding provided by taxpayers.
Under the program, more than one million first-time home buyers who have a two-year history of on-time rent payments would be eligible for “down-payment support” and leverage into a purchase.
The plan to subsidize housing demand followed an earlier announcement Harris wanted to impose government-controlled pricing on grocery stores in order to protect American consumers from grocery store price hikes, as Breitbart News reported.

Harris’s housing proposal, which is designed to ease the progress of young buyers onto the property ladder, has sparked critics to ask: Won’t every home-seller just increase their sale price by $25,000?
Harris will apparently offer details on the plan during a speech in Raleigh, North Carolina, according to campaign officials.
n
The initiative would only be open to individuals who have consistently paid their rent on time for at least two years as Harris seeks to stop the fall in homeownership the Biden administration has been party to.

“For many Americans, paying rent and other bills makes it nearly impossible to save for a down payment, effectively locking them out of the housing market,” Harris’s campaign said in a statement. “This plan will give them the opportunity to own a home and build wealth.”
The vice president’s office has not yet disclosed the full mechanics of how the $25,000 support will be delivered, though it is anticipated to be a direct grant rather than a tax credit, the Maine Wire reports.

No indication has been given of the exact sum total the government is expecting to disperse in the taxpayer-funded handout or how this will impact inflation.

That will only drive up the house prices.

If she got that through look for home ownership to be unaffordable for most. Corrupting the free market capitalist system that way is certain to escalate prices of existing and new homes through the roof as well as seriously exacerbate inflation. One reason we are in the mess we are now is that Democrats have such ignorant concepts of how economic principles work.

I was just reading how pharmaceutical prices have increased 1000% adjusted for inflation since Medicare and Medicaid was established and much other healthcare is unaffordable to most without increasingly expensive insurance that doesn't cover as much as it used to. It was federal subsidies to the colleges and universities that made a college education unaffordable to all but the rich and those who went into serious debt to get one and government financial meddling in public education that now has teachers digging into their own pockets in order to have basic supplies for their classrooms.

Trump knows the best way to bring prices down is to keep the federal and state governments out of it as much as possible and flood the market with private sector produced supply and demand. Kamala's ignorance on economics will make things much worse than they already are.

Yay! Now I know exactly how much to raise the listing price of the next house I sell. :rofl:
 
So are there the usual income requirements from the bank, or will Commiela dictate lower standards for the good of…..equity….so that people who cannot afford a house will get to buy it, and with no skin in the game?

The average house in New Jersey is about $530,000, which would require an income of around $150,000. So affluent earners in the top quintile would get a big taxpayer windfall?

Below is a house listed for $525,000 in New Jersey, looks quite nice to me. Should we give an affluent family $25,000 to buy this, driving up housing costs even more? The Dems’ idea of giving people OPM so they can “afford stuff” just drives prices up more!

(And before the libs scream, “no it’s for the middle class earning $80,000” - news flash: they don’t earn enough to afford a house!)

Here’s a $525,000 house in the middle New Jersey:

That worked out so great when Obama did it in 2008.

Nope! Going to put the bankers in jail! Problem solved.

No....it won't change anything except house prices. People will still be priced out.

Exactly right. People bought more than they could afford and when interest rates rose, the banking crisis was another democrat disaster. I'm afraid the country may be on the event horizon of "we made this mistake before so we'll do it again".
