Is the lock-in effect loosening its grip on housing? Realtor.com thinks so U.S. homeowners who carry mortgages with rates of 6% or more now outnumber those with rates below 3%.

WSJ editorial board is done with Pulte at #FHFA too, writing dryly: "Firing Mr. Pulte before he can cause any more embarrassment would also help." Let's get a #housing regulator that will actually promote affordability rather than politicize insitutions and rock markets.

Pulte and other Trump loyalists at mortgage regulator clash with Fannie and Freddie staffers By Chris Prentice and Marisa Taylor WASHINGTON, Dec 19 (Reuters) - Days after being sworn in as President Donald Trump’s appointee at a top U.S. housing agency, Bill Pulte began cleaning house.

Blatant corruption by Bill Pulte at #FHFA.

Trump guilty of mortgage fraud himself But it was 1993 and beyond the statute of limitations.

paidprotester.substack.com/p/trump-guil...

He did it right in Palm Beach down the street from Mar-a-Lago. It's unlikely he's going to fire himself or turn himself over to the DOJ for prosecution.

Trump’s Own Mortgages Match His Description of Mortgage Fraud, Records Reveal The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found Trump once did the very thing ...

I guess Trump knows mortgage fraud when he sees it. He’s an expert!

Bill Pulte Sued for Breaking Law to Help Trump Target His Enemies Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell is suing the Trump official who referred him to the Department of Justice alleging mortgage and tax fraud. Swallwell sued Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Tuesday for violating his privacy and First Amendment rights. Earlier this month, Pulte referred Swalwell to the DOJ, claiming that the California congressman may have made false or misleading statements in loan applications. In his lawsuit, Swalwell claims he is being targeted for his “political views and expression” and that Pulte improperly used information from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in his referral letter to the DOJ. Swalwell alleges that Pulte invaded his privacy by digging into his financial records and violating the Privacy Act, calling his actions “a gross abuse of power that violated the law.” The lawsuit further claims that the same day Pulte sent the letter, detailed allegations against Swalwell showed up in news reports and right-wing social media accounts in what looked like a coordinated leak by Pulte and the FHFA. “Since Pulte took office in March 2025, FHFA has never issued a criminal referral to DOJ alleging mortgage fraud by anyone who supports President Trump but has referred four of President Trump’s political foes,” the lawsuit notes. The Trump administration has repeatedly attempted to use mortgage fraud to prosecute the president’s enemies. New York Attorney General Letita James, Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, and Senator Adam Schiff have all been targeted with similar allegations. James’s case was thrown out on Monday after the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was found to have been improperly appointed. Swalwell’s lawsuit now puts Pulte and Trump on the defensive, and may also help his own campaign for governor of California. Will it also thwart Trump’s attempts at revenge?
