Trump looking to ban institutional buying of single-family homes

For a very long time, buying and owning a home was considered the pinnacle of the American Dream. It was the reward for working hard, and doing the right thing, but now, because of the Record High Inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress, that American Dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans. It is for that reason, and much more, that I am immediately taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes, and I will be calling on Congress to codify it. People live in homes, not corporations. I will discuss this topic, including further Housing and Affordability proposals, and more, at my speech in Davos in two weeks.

This is a great policy. This is the kind of pro-affordability policy that helps Trump’s working class credentials.

Something needs to be done. I am not sure banning is the way, but at least some limitations. I cannot wait to see some in here tie themselves into a pretzel, saying this is a bad idea.

Incestuous corporate + government relations are the hallmark of fascism.
A corporation in a fascist government is merely a veneer for government and functions as a deceptive work around for government owning means of production.
Its gives you the illusion of choice and free market but it’s really corrupt politics and their cronies pulling the levers behind the curtain.
This is a great move by POTUS!

It really is, considering the fact that single-family home ownership is just one more thing which is under attack by the Bad Guys.

This is 100% what they will threaten to do to stop it.

Functionally I like how this sounds and feel like it's legitimately necessary.
The pragmatic side of me can't help but think, "oh yeah, regulate me harder, daddy!"

There are only a handful of mega institutional investors who own more than 1000 single family homes in the country which is roughly 1% of the total single family housing inventory according to Corelogic. It was as high as 2.6% but they have been selling more single family homes than they are buying. In 2025 the big institutions purchased less than 2% of the total single family housing inventory. In the last 6 consecutive quarters the institutional investors have sold off 10k-15k more homes than they purchased.
The total percentage of single family properties that are purchased by investors is 20% of the total inventory. 17.2 million single family properties in the US are owned by investors (mom & pop who own 1 rental to Apollo).
90% of the single family home investor market is actually small investors (1-10 homes). The remaining 10% are investors who own more than 11+ properties in the US.
The mega investors also concentrated their single family home purchases primarily in a handful of markets across the US: Atlanta, Dallas, Phoenix, Charlotte, Houston, Tampa, Jacksonville, Orlando, Miami, Columbus, and Birmingham. The big players avoided California, New York, Illinois, and New Jersey. They only concentrated in the high growth states. Louisiana/Mississippi are not states where mega institutions bought up single family housing stock.
In other words--unless you ban individuals from buying single family homes to rent out as their investment properties this really isn't going to solve any part of the housing affordability issues across the US.

That should not be something the federal government is involved in.
