The Fed's Silent Squeeze On Housing Affordability

Listen for free

View show details

With the Federal Funds rate holding near 3.75 percent and core inflation stubbornly above target, housing affordability has become the hidden casualty of monetary policy. Lucas and Luna examine how the combination of elevated mortgage rates and constrained inventory is pricing out first-time buyers, creating a structural shift in labor mobility that the FOMC may not be fully accounting for. We look at the specific mechanics of this squeeze, why traditional easing cycles haven't helped home prices, and what this means for the broader economy as we move through late 2026. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FederalReserve #MonetaryPolicy #HousingMarket #InterestRates #MortgageRates #AffordabilityCrisis #RealEstate #Inflation #FOMC #Economics #LaborMobility #FirstTimeBuyers #HousingInventory #CorePCE #FedFundsRate #EconomicAnalysis Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
