Senate set to advance housing bill restricting private equity purchases of single-family homes
By
Justin Papp
Summary
The Senate is poised to advance a housing bill aimed at limiting private equity purchases of single-family homes to increase housing affordability. Both parties are touting their work on cost-of-living issues ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, with President Trump signaling support. The bill nearly stalled as Republicans debated provisions on institutional investors and as the House and Senate reconciled different versions. Lawmakers recently found compromise between the House version (seen as more aggressive) and the Senate's approach.
