I would love to see this, getting rid of all the less than 20% down and 30 year fixed rate taxpayer subsidized mortgages in the US would help lower house prices very quickly.

Not necessarily, currently there are a lot of Wall Street companies buying real estate at any price (Zillow, etc). That is contributing some to the price inflation. My house has increased insanely in just the past 30 days for no obvious reason.

sure but zillow needs to find someone else to sell to, and that someone is likely getting a government backed mortgage
