Home Builders Protest Ruling on Regulation X Credit Curbs
Builders condemn a new economic controls provision aimed at ending Regulation X credit limits on new houses. They warn the change could delay housing starts and reduce buyer participation until the Fed rule can be repealed or reassessed. Regulation X sets minimum down payments, now up to 40 percent on homes over 25 000, while most other credit controls were scrapped. Truman must approve a survey showing housing starts below 1.2 million annually before removal.
