This week on the Simply Authentic Podcast, we’re tackling two hot topics in the housing world: the 50-year mortgage and the portable mortgage. These concepts have been making headlines lately—but what exactly are they? Why are they being discussed now? And could they play a role in addressing today’s housing affordability challenges?

In this episode, we break down:

• What a 50-year mortgage actually is (and why it’s not currently legal under today’s financial regulations)
• How federal conversations could change that in the future
• The idea behind portable mortgages and how they differ from traditional loan products
• Pros, cons, and potential ripple effects on buyers, sellers, and the broader market
• Real-world examples, including the difference in interest paid on a 30-year vs. a proposed 50-year mortgage
• Local appreciation trends of 4–5% and how extended loan terms might interact with rising home values

While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for improving affordability, the good news is that new ideas are finally on the table—and these are just two of them. Our goal is to help you feel more informed, more empowered, and more aware of the evolving landscape.

As always, we encourage our listeners to talk with a knowledgeable lender when considering any mortgage option. Education is power, and we’re here to help you navigate the possibilities with clarity and confidence.
