Would a Trump Ban on Institutional Buyers Actually Help Housing Affordability?

A major political headline sent shockwaves through housing markets this week after President Donald Trump said he plans to ban large institutional investors from buying additional single-family homes.

In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, host Kathy Fettke breaks down how markets reacted, what the data really shows about investor activity, and why many experts argue a ban could backfire by limiting new construction and rental supply.

Using insights from Redfin, HousingWire, and National Association of Home Builders, this episode separates political rhetoric from housing reality — and explains what investors, renters, and homebuyers should actually be watching next.
