Trump Says He Will Both Solve 'Housing Problem' and Preserve Home Values -- WSJ

Dow Jones

Feb 25

By Rebecca Picciotto

President Trump said he would both solve the housing affordability issue while also "protecting the values of those people who already own a house." Trump has openly expressed concern about any policy that would lower home values and, in turn, homeowners' net worth.

Economists generally maintain that making housing more affordable requires building more homes. By some estimates, the U.S. is short roughly 4 million homes. But in recent weeks, the president has said that he does not want to add supply that brings down current property values. "We want to protect those values," the president said. "We're gonna do both."
