Mortgage and Real Estate News Monday, February 10th, 2025: In the past few weeks, Trump has moved to cut mortgage rates while trying to make housing more affordable for many. These plans should take effect on February 10 of 2025:
Executive Order on Emergency Price Relief
Back on January 20, 2025, Trump passed an executive order “Delivering Emergency Price Relief for American Families and Defeating the Cost-of-Living Crisis”. The order looks to get rid of numerous regulatory burdens, which, according to Trump’s administration, make up around 25 percent of the cost to build a new house. This, if enacted, would make it cheaper to build houses, which in turn increases the supply of houses and reduces their prices, making homes more affordable for many. Inflation has skyrocketed through the roof, but wages have not kept up with inflation. Many home buyers are priced out of the market. Many others who never purchased a home before just gave up on becoming homebuyers and homeowner. Many homes are inflated at skyrocketing home prices, and with high home values come high property taxes. To add fuel to the fire, homebuyers are experiencing high homeowners insurance, and everything from landscaping to remodeling is 30% or more than it used to cost. Lenders of home equity loans and renovation loans are very leery on whether the homeowners/borrowers have the ability to afford the new loan.
Focus on Reducing Long-Term Interest Rates
As stated by recently appointed Scott Bessant, other attention-grabbing moves are also on the way, like cutting long-term interest and mortgage rates. The government proposed long-range growth strategies, like energy independence and cutbacks in regulation, to achieve these objectives. They do, however, acknowledge that there are too many variables in the market to assume these actions will produce any short-term shifts in aid for long-term interest rates. In three weeks since taking the oath of office as the President of the United States, President Donald Trump has made historic changes, like auditing where our taxpayer dollars are going to and the vast suspicion of government corruption in the USAID, the U.S. Department of Education, the Human and Health Administration, HUD, and potentially the CFPB. The CFPB was created and launched to protect the consumer, but President Donald Trump and his staff see it otherwise, where the CFPB is out to protect the big banks and big lenders and not the American consumer. President Trump’s DOGE Department of Government Efficiency, headed by Elon Musk, is uncovering trillions of taxpayer dollars that are unaccountable and could potentially be a money laundering scheme and kickback scheme by government workers and politicians. President Donald Trump is considering eliminating the CFPB, the Federal Reserve Board, and other wasteful government agencies that are not productive or offer no benefit to the American people. Remember that USAID is just one of many government agencies where thousands of unproductive workers are on the federal government payroll. Just two weeks ago, President Donald Trump expressed and hinted to Fed Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell to lower rates to stimulate the economy, especially the housing market, and lower the cost of borrowing money. However, Jerome Powell did not heed President Trump’s advice and kept interest rates unchanged. The economy is not at all what the Biden-Harris administration said it was. The economy is worse than the news expressed, and many numbers that were released need to get modified with accurate data, especially unemployment numbers, the Consumer Price Index, and bankruptcy and foreclosure rates. Just in three weeks, the Trump administration has come up with trillions of dollars that have not been accounted for.
Deregulation and Utilization of Federal Lands
Lowering the cost of housing by lessening the degree of restrictions on federal land intended for planned housing construction is another goal of this government. President Trump signed an executive order that hurricane-devastated areas in North Carolina and Southern California’s wildfire areas in Los Angeles County were on track for a fast-track permitting or no permitting. California, especially, is notorious for its lengthy permitting process, even when it is a major emergency like the Pacific Palisades California Wildfire.
The goal is to increase the available housing supply that can mitigate the home prices and enhance affordability through easing red tape on construction permits as well as making more land available for development.
The Effect Executives Orders Have on Mortgage Rates
Subsequent to the release of certain executive orders, there is evidence suggesting that there is a drop in mortgage retail prices. For example, after certain announcements such as tariffs and other related policies, there was a significant drop in rates that were already near peak levels. It is likely that the execution of these plans by the administration will create a favorable environment for homebuyers in terms of affordability.
Although these measures intend to assist mortgage borrowers and help alleviate the housing cost burden, the measures taken will only be assessed after the major stakeholder accomplishes the expected market reaction and networks and responses policy implementation. The American people are very confident President Donald Trump will do the right thing to avoid another housing and financial meltdown that has been rumored for years—that this housing correction will be worse than the 2008 real estate and financial crisis. Something’s got to give, and the best news for Americans is President Donald Trump is doing something about our current crisis. It is ridiculous that a family needs an average of $124,000 gross per year to be able to afford an average modest home in the United States. After paying the mortgage, utilities, and expenses, Americans will have very little left to survive.

Vice President Kamala Harris has spent $1 billion and is $20 million in debt. She has also paid celebrities and high-profile people money from her campaign for their endorsement. Kamala Harris has paid Oprah Winfrey $1 million for her endorsement. Harris paid Beyonce $10 million and Reverend Al Sharpton $500,00 for her support. The list goes on and on. Has Kamara Harris committed a money laundering scheme? Did Kamala Harris commit a crime? Who is behind this payment for the sponsorship scheme? The Democrat Party? Barack Obama? Joe Biden? Mark Cuban?

When an automaker says only 400 cars made worldwide and there’s 500 VIN numbers, what’s up with that. Here’s a very informative video clip classic and exotic auto enthusiasts will find it very interesting. I think before watching the attached video clip, car makers like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and others were legitimate when they produced limited production exotic and classic cars. The Ferrari Enzo is a high-performance supercar produced by the Italian automaker Ferrari. Here are some key features and details about the Ferrari Enzo:
-
Production: The Enzo was produced from 2002 to 2004, with only 400 units made, making it a rare and highly sought-after vehicle.
-
Design: Named after the company’s founder, Enzo Ferrari, the car’s design was inspired by Formula 1 technology. It features a carbon-fiber body, advanced aerodynamics, and a sleek, aggressive look.
-
Engine and Performance: The Enzo is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine, producing 651 horsepower. This allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in just 3.14 seconds and reach a top speed of 218 mph (351 km/h).
-
Transmission: It features a 6-speed automated manual transmission with paddle shifters, providing a rapid and precise gear-shifting experience.
-
Suspension and Brakes: The Enzo is equipped with state-of-the-art suspension and braking systems, including carbon-ceramic brakes, ensuring exceptional handling and stopping power.
-
Interior: The interior is focused on performance, with minimalistic design elements, racing seats, and a digital display providing essential driving information.
-
Legacy: The Ferrari Enzo is considered one of the most iconic supercars of its time, combining cutting-edge technology, exceptional performance, and exclusivity.
The Ferrari Enzo remains a symbol of Ferrari’s commitment to excellence in automotive engineering and design. However, if Ferrari says that they only made 400 Ferrari Enzo supercars, is this correct? What is up with the 500 VIN numbers? If this is true, this is huge international fraud. These cars are multi-million dollar super sportscars and the reason for such high value is due to the limited production numbers.

America is home of the free where the people decide their representatives through el6ctions. Elected officials work for the people. It is the people who pay elected officials to make sure our tax dollars are spent frugally and wisely. Majority of Americans believe our tax dollars are being robbed by greedy government officials who seem to forget that taxpayers are the their bosses and the tax dollars is not their piggy bank to be wasted. Americans need to stop paying taxes and get a complete overhaul of the tax structure and audit where their tax dollars are being siphoned off to.
