But experts say neither plan is likely to do much to make homes more affordable.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump first floated the idea last month in a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/115855059527504524\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">social media post<\/a>, proposing to bar institutional investors that own 100 or more homes from buying single-family properties and writing that &#8220;people live in homes, not corporations.&#8221; Democrats, for their part, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/senate-democrats-introduce-the-american-homeownership-act-to-stop-wall-streets-housing-grab-and-get-homes-back-into-the-hands-of-families\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">introduced a bill<\/a> that would limit certain tax deductions for large-scale homebuyers.<\/p>\n<p>While both approaches aim to improve\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-state-of-the-union-2026-economy-cost-of-living-charts\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">housing affordability<\/a><\/span>, experts say they fall short of addressing the core driver of rising prices: a shortage of homes. Homebuilding cratered after the Great Recession of 2008-09 and has yet to catch up with demand.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. would need to build as many as 4 million additional homes beyond the normal pace of construction to significantly reduce the housing shortage, according to a Goldman Sachs\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldmansachs.com\/insights\/articles\/the-outlook-for-us-housing-supply-and-affordability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">estimate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The core problem is that we don&#8217;t have enough supply, and neither proposal really solves this core issue,&#8221; Alex Blackwood, CEO of Mogul, a real estate investment startup, told CBS News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Where Trump&#8217;s proposal might help<\/h2>\n<p>In his State of the Union speech, Mr. Trump touted his January\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2026\/01\/stopping-wall-street-from-competing-with-main-street-homebuyers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">executive order<\/a>\u00a0to ban institutional investors from buying homes, blaming such firms for driving up home prices. He pointed to Raysall Wiggins, whom he described as a mom of two from Houston who had been stymied in her efforts to buy a home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She placed bids on 20 homes and lost all of those bids to gigantic investment firms that bypassed inspection,&#8221; Mr. Trump said in the speech. &#8220;Paid all cash and turned those houses into rentals, stealing away her American dream.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;And now I&#8217;m asking Congress to make that ban permanent, because homes for people \u2014 really, that&#8217;s what we want. We want homes for people, not for corporations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Reached for comment, the White House referred to Mr. Trump&#8217;s remarks on housing affordability during his State of the Union speech.<\/p>\n<p>To be sure, Mr. Trump&#8217;s proposal could have a greater impact in cities where institutional investors have a large footprint, which include Wiggins&#8217; home city of Houston, as well as Atlanta and Charlotte, North Carolina, experts said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Large institutional investors own about 3.8% of all single-family rental homes nationwide, according to a 2023 Urban Institute <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urban.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2023-08\/A%20Profile%20of%20Institutional%20Investor%E2%80%93Owned%20Single-Family%20Rental%20Properties.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">analysis<\/a>. In Atlanta, however, investors own about 28% of such homes, compared with 20% in Charlotte and 9% in Houston.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It would make a significant difference in these places, where it&#8217;s an outsized issue,&#8221; Collin Allen, executive director of the American Property Owners&#8217; Alliance, a homeowners&#8217; advocacy group, told CBS News. &#8220;But they own a small share of homes overall.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thom Malone, principal economist at Cotality, a provider of housing market insights, said the push to limit investors reflects frustration among homebuyers competing with deep-pocketed institutions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re up against an investor, you&#8217;re going to have a hard time putting together a more competitive bid,&#8221; he told CBS News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>A Democratic proposal<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Jeff Merkley of Oregon on Tuesday introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/senate-democrats-introduce-the-american-homeownership-act-to-stop-wall-streets-housing-grab-and-get-homes-back-into-the-hands-of-families\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">legislation<\/a> to prevent entities that own 50 or more homes from deducting depreciation and mortgage interest tied to those properties.<\/p>\n<p>The bill would also ban investors from buying foreclosed homes sold by federal agencies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This bill will take on predatory landlords while making investments to increase housing supply and boost homeownership for Americans,&#8221; Warren said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Both Republicans and Democrats contend that Wall Street is exacerbating the nation&#8217;s housing crisis by limiting housing supply and driving up costs for Americans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While limiting investors&#8217; ability to snap up homes could be part of a multi-pronged approach to addressing housing affordability, targeting them alone won&#8217;t solve the issue, according to Allen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have to build more homes, and look at policies that allow us to expand supply,&#8221; he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Edward Pinto, co-director of the AEI Housing Center at the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, told CBS News that a more effective proposal would meet three criteria: It would reduce land costs, allow homes to be built on smaller parcels and bring down construction costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Limiting institutional investors&#8217; ability to purchase homes, by contrast, &#8220;is not going to have much of an impact \u2014 if any \u2014 on making homes more affordable,&#8221; Pinto said. &#8220;It just gives the impression of doing something positive, and so it may have some attractiveness on both sides of the aisle, but it&#8217;s not going to solve any problems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p
