President Donald Trump has said that he wants to block large institutional investors from buying houses, saying that a ban would make it easier for younger families to buy their first homes.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed banning large investors and corporate buyers from purchasing residential properties, aiming to address growing concerns over housing affordability. Trump argued that institutional investors and private equity firms are driving up home prices by buying multiple properties, making it harder for ordinary Americans, especially first-time buyers, to enter the housing market.

While focusing on restricting large-scale investors, Trump also acknowledged that the housing crisis is fueled by deeper structural issues. Limited construction, rising mortgage rates, and an ongoing supply-demand imbalance continue to push home prices higher, creating barriers for first-time buyers and middle-class families.

The proposal comes amid a broader national debate on how to ensure housing remains accessible to regular Americans while balancing investment and market growth.
