Real Estate: JPMorgan to invest $750 billion in the US housing market
The largest US bank wants to grant more loans to home buyers by 2035. With this initiative, it is reacting to the tense situation on the real estate market.
JPMorgan, the largest US bank, plans to invest over $750 billion in the US housing market by 2035. The bank aims to promote home ownership acquisition, according to a statement made on Monday. To achieve this goal, JPMorgan intends to increase the issuance of mortgage loans by more than 40 percent, enabling around 500,000 clients to purchase a house or apartment.
The planned loan allocation for housing construction represents an almost 40 percent rise compared to the past decade. In 2025, JPMorgan had disbursed mortgage loans worth $52.8 billion for housing development, a 30 percent increase from the previous year. These plans are part of the bank's "American Dream Initiative" announced at the beginning of the year.
The US housing market is currently developing slowly due to high interest rates and rising prices, which deter many potential buyers. Almost 20 years ago, excessive credit extension for low-value US properties and the subsequent securitization of the debts led to a global financial crisis.
