Trump’s sucks, but just giving people money will make all of the housing $25000 more expensive on average over time. There are so many better things to do with that money, like better public transportation and schools. She just wants to throw it down a hole and make housing more expensive, in exchange for some short-term support.
It’s assistance not giving. I think it’s just a fund you can borrow from to get enough to start a mortgage.
It would also only apply to people who can’t afford the mortgage.
So it’s not going to impact house prices in the sense you say it would. Except slightly increasing demand to buy and thereby decreasing demand to rent.
In the UK a similar scheme just led to the entry-level segment of the real-estate market inflating faster than the rest.
It also led to a rise in more ‘luxury’ entry-level properties being built.
Again, it’s not exactly the same concept, but in the case of the UK, most economists agree that most buyers actually would have been better off if the policy had never been introduced, since the price rises ended up outpacing the value of the assistance.

It’ll make the bottom of the market more expensive.
The increase in demand will a little. But not near the amount the aid is helping. We are talking a different order of magnitude.
