One Forgotten Housing Supply-Side Lever Could Unfreeze Affordability

Rental affordability remains far superior to mortgage affordability, with the U.S. 30-year fixed mortgage rate trending around 6.5% in early June. With home prices still at record highs, last week's housing report showing sellers pulling listings at a near-record pace as buyers balk at prices is yet another warning sign that the frozen housing market remains well intact.

The Trump administration's affordable housing strategy focuses on market deregulation, expanded homeownership, stricter citizenship requirements for federal housing assistance, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac purchasing $200 billion of their own mortgage-backed securities to artificially lower mortgage rates and increase home affordability.

Even with all that, the housing market remains locked in a deep freeze into early summer, as the math for prospective homebuyers just does not add up, largely due to a housing shortage.

JPMorgan analysts recently said that the current housing shortage of around 2.8 million homes could take about 10 years to resolve. That is simply not enough time for the Trump administration to make good on its promise to unfreeze the market, as younger generations are forced into rentals.

But there is good news: Goldman analysts led by Arun Manohar outlined that manufactured housing remains one of the most underused affordability tools, as the estimated housing shortage is well north of 3 million and as high as 4 million homes.

Manohar pointed out that shipments of manufactured homes averaged about 265,000 units annually before 2000, but plunged to around 80,000 per year since 2010 after the 1990s boom ended in delinquencies, tighter lending standards, and more zoning restrictions.

"One approach for increasing the supply of homes at more affordable price points is to promote access to manufactured housing," Manohar wrote in the report last week.

Manufactured homes now account for about 6% of owner-occupied U.S. housing, down slightly from roughly 7% in 2010. There are about 8.4 million manufactured housing units nationwide, mostly concentrated in the South and Southeast.

Mostly situated in rural areas.

... and typically have less square footage than a traditional single-family home.

Manohar continued that these manufactured housing units are "residences that are prefabricated in a factory setting and then transported to their final location for installation," adding, "This method not only streamlines the construction process but also offers significant cost savings compared to traditional site-built homes, making manufactured housing a promising solution for those seeking affordable housing options."

Manufactured homes are cheaper and faster to build than stick-built homes.

These tiny homes could be a meaningful supply-side lever to improve housing affordability, especially for lower-income and first-time buyers, as the frozen housing market is expected to take years to normalize.

Polls Turn Against Netanyahu As Trump Says PM 'May Quit Politics'

Via The Cradle

A poll published by an Israeli research center on Tuesday has revealed that most Israelis do not want Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to run in the upcoming election. 

The poll was released by the Viterbi Center for Public Opinion and Policy Research at the Israel Democracy Institute, based in occupied Jerusalem.

It was conducted between May 31 and June 5. According to the results, 61 percent of Israelis believe Netanyahu should not run in the elections. Thirty-five percent were in favor of the premier running. 

The number of Israeli Jews who are opposed to his running stood at 57 percent, while 39.5 percent of Jewish Israelis believe he should run. 

Among the Palestinians with Israeli citizenship living in the territories ethnically cleansed during the 1948 Nakba, 83 percent are against Netanyahu running in the election, according to the poll. 

Eleven percent of Palestinians with Israeli citizenship support his candidacy, the poll added. A recent poll revealed a significant deterioration in the global reputation of Netanyahu and Israel.

The survey was published amid growing uncertainty over Netanyahu’s political future following comments by US President Donald Trump, who claimed the premier may want to step back from politics.

Trump told ABC News on Tuesday that he was unsure “if Bibi even wants to continue.”

“I don’t know, he’s had an amazing career. Does he want to continue? Because, you know, he’s a wartime prime minister. We will very shortly win the war one way or the other, and you know he’s a wartime prime minister,” Trump added.

Likud has since responded, saying that Netanyahu will run in the upcoming election. Netanyahu is mired in a years-long criminal trial over corruption and other scandals. The trial has seen near-constant delays.

The prime minister has also failed to resolve the Haredi draft crisis plaguing Israel, with ultra-Orthodox Jews (Haredim) still avoiding conscription and opposition parties criticizing the ruling coalition for placing secular reservists at the forefront of the conflict.  

Israeli army leadership has warned of a collapse in the reserve forces, and troops are taking heavy losses in battles against Hezbollah in south Lebanon.

Since Netanyahu's government came to power in late 2022, illegal West Bank settlements and annexation plans have expanded dramatically, and a genocide in Gaza has taken place.

Tel Aviv has also continued to wage brutal wars on multiple fronts, including Lebanon and Iran. 

The draft crisis and other long-standing issues between Netanyahu and the opposition have prompted former premiers Naftali Bennet and Yair Lapid to merge parties in a bid to challenge the prime minister politically.
