Democrats on Capitol Hill have found a rare point of agreement with President Donald Trump after he announced plans to pursue a ban on purchases of single-family homes by large corporate firms.
In 2025, Democrats have introduced nearly a dozen bills aimed at halting or limiting large corporate ownership of single-family homes, but a lack of Republican support has left the legislation in limbo.
“For years, I’ve raised the alarms on wealthy out-of-state investors gobbling up single-family homes, pricing too many of our neighbors out of the chance to own a home and invest in their communities,” Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin said in a statement to NOTUS. “I’ll work with anyone serious about cracking down on Wall Street using Wisconsin communities to turn a quick profit while my constituents struggle to find housing they can afford.”
