Analysis Summary
The 21st Century Road to Housing Act became law in early July 2026, marking the first major federal action to restrict large investors from buying single-family homes — a move responding to years of criticism about Wall Street landlords concentrating residential real estate. The bipartisan bill passed despite Trump's initial resistance tied to unrelated voter ID legislation. Experts caution the law's impact on affordability may take years to materialize given long construction timelines and state-level zoning restrictions that still limit housing supply.
