Americans who actually work for a living are finally hearing the truth from Washington: costs and interest rates are easing after years of reckless economic policy. HUD Secretary Scott Turner told Newsmax this week that under President Trump “interest rates are coming down, mortgage rates are coming down,” and that the administration is focused on keeping those gains going for families trying to buy a home.
Scott Turner is not a partisan talker — he was confirmed by the Senate to serve as HUD Secretary and has publicly made lowering housing costs a top priority from day one. Turner has pledged to restore HUD to its core mission of expanding homeownership and reducing regulatory burdens that have priced young families out of the market.
That message isn’t empty rhetoric; Turner and his team are pushing common-sense reforms to reduce red tape and accelerate housing production, telling builders and community leaders that Washington will get out of the way. The administration’s playbook is straightforward: remove needless regulations, unleash the private sector, and build the supply America desperately needs to bring down prices.
The markets are already responding — mortgage rates, which crushed affordability for years, have fallen from the frightening highs of 2024 and 2025 and are now hovering near their lowest levels in a long stretch. Freddie Mac’s weekly survey shows the 30-year fixed mortgage rate back down around 6.1 percent, giving breathing room to would-be buyers and proof that sensible policies and market confidence matter.
Industry groups and homebuilders are noticing the turnaround, reporting that mortgage relief and regulatory reprieves helped push rates to their lowest point of 2025 and eased some pressure on the housing market. These are the kinds of real-world results that translate into families getting into homes and builders hiring workers — not the virtue-signaling programs Democrats love to tout.
Conservatives should be loud and proud about this win: when government stops strangling supply and lets entrepreneurs and builders do what they do best, prices come down and opportunity grows. Voters remember which party doubled down on inflation and which party cut the Gordian knot of overregulation to restore affordability and faith in the American dream.
If we want more relief at the pump, in the grocery aisle, and at closing tables across America, we keep backing policies that expand energy production, slash senseless rules, and defend free enterprise. Secretary Turner’s steady, results-oriented approach is exactly the kind of leadership hardworking Americans deserve — a reminder that when patriots lead, prosperity follows.
