US EditionTrump says U.S. to ban large investors from buying single-family homes
Trump seeks to ban large investors from buying single-family homes to improve affordability, noting investors own about 2% nationally but over 15% in some cities, officials said.
- On January 7, 2026, President Donald Trump announced a ban on institutional buyers of single-family homes, saying he would ask Congress to 'codify' it and discuss further at Davos later this month.
- Trump framed the move as restoring the `American Dream` and blamed inflation and the previous administration for making homeownership harder amid a housing supply shortfall.
- Markets reacted: Blackstone shares fell about 5% and the PHLX housing index dropped 2.6%, while SFR Analytics reports the top 24 owners hold just over 520,000 single-family rentals.
- Sen. Bernie Moreno pledged to introduce legislation codifying Trump’s proposal Wednesday, while Sen. Elizabeth Warren urged bipartisan action and concrete steps.
- With uncertainty over enforcement, analysts note experts say Congress and legal authorities lack clear power for a nationwide ban, while housing economists warn it may shift purchases to mid-sized investors without easing shortages.
