Summary
As America celebrates 250 years, Shannon and Patrick look back at the public policies that helped make homeownership one of the defining pillars of the American Dream. From the nation's earliest land policies to the creation of the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, the Fair Housing Act, and modern efforts to expand housing supply and affordability, this episode explores how generations of advocates and lawmakers have strengthened opportunities for Americans to own. Tune in to hear why, 250 years later, homeownership remains one of America's greatest public policy success stories - and how NAR advocacy is working to ensure that legacy continues for generations to come.
