Trump openly admits he cares more about higher asset prices than regular people affording homes. Record high prices already crush young buyers and families while he pushes for more increases.
Donald Trump on his housing affordability plan, in his own words:
—"It's so unimportant"
—"It's a big yawn"
—"I don't think about Americans' financial situation"
—"I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up" https://t.co/QCiZUnTanl pic.twitter.com/qNP3GgUF7f— FactPost (@factpostnews) July 10, 2026
The average age of a first time home buyer in the U.S. in 2026 is 40

Soon no one is going to be able to afford a home

Not one county kept up.
The biggest gap?
In one county, household income actually FELL while home values surged 86%.
