Background
Prior to the order, Trump had indicated plans to restrict Wall Street firms from purchasing single-family homes as part of efforts to reduce housing costs.[4]
The order was issued amid concerns over housing affordability and the growing role of institutional investors in single-family housing markets.[1] It establishes a policy to limit federal support for investor purchases of single-family homes and to prioritise sales to owner-occupants.[1]
It further directs federal agencies to prioritise home sales to individual buyers, restrict federal programs from facilitating investor purchases, and review acquisitions by large institutional investors for anti-competitive practices.[5] The order also directs the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission to increase antitrust scrutiny of large institutional investors in the housing market.[6]
According to Reuters reporting, the measures could increase housing demand without addressing supply constraints, potentially contributing to higher home prices.[7]
