After rates peaked above 7% in 2025, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has currently settled just above 6% — a near-historic low. In addition to mortgage rates trending downward, President Donald Trump has initiated a bold proposal that may lower mortgage rates even further. In what Yahoo Finance is calling a “wild card” move, the Trump administration has directed Fannie Mae (Federal National Mortgage Association) and Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) to purchase as much as $200 billion in mortgage bonds as a means to tighten mortgage spreads and thereby lower borrowing costs. Buying these securities in such large quantities could, in theory, reduce the yield that investors demand — which would, in turn, press lenders to offer lower mortgage rates to borrowers. Lower mortgage rates would then, most likely, make it far easier to afford buying a new home. That said, the impact of such a “wild card” move by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is not yet fully known
