Trump says he wants to bar large investors from buying homes

President Donald Trump said he wants to bar large institutional investors from buying homes, arguing the move would help younger families afford their first houses.

Facing pressure to address affordability ahead of the November midterms, Trump is appealing to long-standing concerns that corporate homeownership has sidelined traditional buyers and pushed more people into renting.

The president said on Truth Social that he will not allow large institutional investors to buy single-family homes and will urge Congress to codify the move, saying homes are for people, not corporations.
