C.A.R. President Chris Kutzkey says we must boost homeownership
In an editorial to the Sacramento Bee, C.A.R. President Chris Kutzkey says that Washington needs to support and put forward more leaders such as U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro and Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Mel Watt, who believe homeownership is important and are willing to take meaningful action to promote it. They, along with the president, have recently taken significant steps in support of affordable homeownership, such as lowering FHA mortgage insurance premiums, creating a 3 percent down payment loan program, maintaining Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limits, and refocusing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on their missions of promoting homeownership.
Kutzkey had one goal in mind when she became a REALTOR® more than 40 years ago: to help families realize the American dream. That’s still her goal today because homeownership is good for families, communities, and the economy.
