"Housing supply is the number one issue for millions of consumers who are locked out of the market," Rouda Smith said following the meeting, which included other housing leaders who also stressed possible solutions to overcome the shortage.

Housing Coalition Urges Reduction of FHA's Mortgage Insurance Premium
On September 14, NAR sent a coalition letter to the National Economic Council with the White House urging a reduction of the Federal Housing Administration's (FHA) annual mortgage insurance premium (MIP). As interest rates continue to rise and economic conditions worsen, it is critical for FHA to reduce the annual MIP so low- to moderate-income and first-time home buyers remain competitive in the housing market. NAR was joined in the letter by the Mortgage Bankers Association, the National Association of Homebuilders and the Manufactured Housing Institute.
