Quoted, without comment.

Last Wednesday (1/7/2026) President Trump said in a Truth Social post that he will be “taking steps to ban institutional investors from buying more single-family homes.”

In his post, Trump said he would be calling on Congress to codify a ban on the practice, writing that “people live in homes, not corporations.” For a change, Trump is calling on Congress, not simply waving his executive magic wand and banning an entire economic sector overnight at his whim. Any time Congress is involved the matter takes a lot of time – if it goes anywhere at all. So this is probably political grandstanding.
