One big reason homes are priced so high in places like the USA is because home loans are already government subsidized. When people think of what they can afford, they look at their net monthly mortgage payment less the income tax break. And prices seem to rise to meet whatever monthly payment buyers can afford.

- Mountain_Skies 4y agoDo you itemize your taxes? If so, your mortgage is being subsidized by the government.

- phil21 4y ago30 year fixed rate mortgages really aren't a market thing. They largely exist due to government support. If you are getting a conforming loan in the US - chances are the federal government is buying that note via fannie or freddie and the bank simply services the loan for a fixed fee.
