“C.A.R. commends the Obama administration for addressing mortgage finance reform and recognizing that the government needs to have a role in the proposed mortgage finance system,” said C.A.R. President Don Faught.
“While C.A.R. is encouraged to see private capital begin to return to the housing market and hopes that trend continues, we believe that the government must play a role in a healthy mortgage market to ensure the continued availability of safe and affordable mortgages in all market conditions.”
A government role in the housing market makes homeownership affordable, allowing borrowers to obtain fixed-rate loans with longer repayment terms. Without it, the 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage would no longer be available to the majority of homebuyers.
