So here's what's happening with the housing market: the Trump administration just rolled out an executive order targeting institutional investors looking to snap up single-family homes. The move pairs with aggressive mortgage bond purchasing programs designed to ease borrowing costs. The thinking? By squeezing out big Wall Street players from residential real estate, housing becomes more accessible for average buyers, which in turn should cool down prices. It's a direct intervention in the property market—mixing investment restrictions with monetary policy to tackle affordability. Worth watching how this shapes consumer spending and broader economic conditions.
