House Passes Bipartisan Housing Bill Targeting Corporate Homebuyers

Elizabeth Warren, but House lawmakers opted for a narrower approach that targets future purchases without forcing divestitures that could disrupt renters

Polling suggests the political move may be popular.

A recent survey found seven in ten voters support banning major investors owning more than 350 homes from buying additional residential properties.

The 13 Republican “no” votes came largely from Freedom Caucus-aligned members objecting not to the housing provisions, but to language dealing with central bank digital currencies.

Rep. Warren Davidson explained his opposition in stark terms.
