Trump’s housing agenda depends on fixing the Senate’s mistake
A recent Senate housing bill has raised concerns due to a provision that could hinder new home construction. This provision mandates that institutional investors sell build-to-rent homes within seven years, which critics argue could exacerbate the housing shortage. The bill's implications may undermine efforts to improve housing availability, particularly for working families.
- ▪A recent poll indicates that 65% of Americans feel they cannot purchase a home in the foreseeable future.
- ▪The Senate's housing bill includes a provision that could lead to a decline in single-family and rental home completions.
- ▪Institutional investors currently own less than 1% of the total U.S. housing stock, yet the bill risks significant new housing construction.
