My mortgage is a problem for the Fed, and for America
A Financial Times opinion piece argues that the structure of American mortgages — long-term, fixed-rate, and cheaply refinanced — has become a problem for the Federal Reserve and the wider economy. Homeowners locked into low rates are insulated from rate hikes, dulling the impact of monetary policy and freezing the housing market, since few will sell and give up their loans.
Why now: Ongoing debate over Fed rate policy and the frozen US housing market keeps mortgage lock-in effects in the news.
