President Biden addresses the need for affordable housing and proposes measures such as tax credits for first-time homebuyers and those who sell their starter homes. However, critics argue that these measures could increase demand and drive up home prices.
Biden spoke in his address about the need to make housing more affordable. Mortgage rates have soared, and home prices have increased in tandem, pushing home-buying. Among the proposals is providing a $5,000 tax credit for middle-class first-time homebuyers for two years, described as a form of mortgage relief. Also, he pitched a $10,000 credit for those who sell their starter homes .
Some say, though, that the Biden plan would backfire by increasing demand, putting upward pressure on home prices
