🏡 New Real Estate Joke: Bitcoin and Mortgages! 🤑

by

The year is 2026, and Newrez, a pioneer in mortgage lending-think Lucy pulling away from Charlie Brown with the football-has decided it’s time to embrace crypto-zombies like Bitcoin and Ethereum for housing qualifications!

This little experiment dances right into the halls of traditional housing markets, where digital coins come to jive with mortgage sharks. 🦈

Newrez Targets the Millennials and Zoomers with Crypto-Inclusive Yacht Loans

The scheme lets our brave digital warlords verify buried treasure (aka crypto assets) to assess housing payments. Imagine saying, “Sure, I can pay for a floating castle if I just convert some of my digital loot!” Those same Monopoly pieces could double as estimated monthly income for your castle applications.

The program is only available to Newrez’s Smart Series- the real NASA moon program for space cadet loans. These loans cater to those daring souls not covered by the mainstream, algorithm Approved-for-Freedom-of-Choice stipulations.

Baron Silverstein, Newrez’s President and chief crypto indulger, says this swing mirrors the Darwinian evolution of modern lending as crypto crossovers the blockchain into normal banks. He cites internal data showing that about 45% of Gen Z and Millennial investors are crypto enthusiasts. They are the chosen few who prefer BitCoin T-shirts to white ones.

Traditionally, these trailblazers had to scrap their crypto piles for government blessings – causing taxable confetti at roadside “Yay! You’re out of the market!” parties.

“Like daring to combine pineapple with pizza, we stand on the brink of innovation with crypto assets for mortgage choices,” Silverstein muses, quoting every wise feline that’s ever lived.

As per the latest development, you don’t have to sell any crypto for this mortgage hootenanny. However, market-adjusted valuations mean your Dragon Hoard’s value can be more volatile than a carnival ride. 🎡

“At Newrez, we strive to make every homeowner’s odyssey thrilling, breaking boundaries one blockchain at a time,” declares Leslie Gillin, Chief Commercial Officer, echoing motivational speeches from an AM radio at 3 AM.

This bold program comes complete with SOS signals (guardrails) to keep new participants from doing something spectacular with their finances. Newrez exclusively allows cryptocurrencies for phases of the mortgage game that don’t require traditional US dollars for your down payments or the part your closing costs mysteriously go to.

Of course, any eligible assets must be stuck in secure, regulated digital fortresses like compliant exchanges, since self-storage crypto wallets or the wild Aladdin cave of DeFi are a no-go.

This whole shindig follows the great federal drama in Washington, where the Federal Housing Finance Agency, in June 2025, decided to jazz things up with some crypto soul. They basically told Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to dance with the digital finance wolves in moonlit backyards.

It was all part of the Trump administration’s love affair with digital revolutionaries, signaling a break-up with old-school bans on crypto fashions.
