Will banning institutional investors from buying single-family homes actually make housing more affordable? In this 265th episode, host Quinton Harris explains why institutional investors are not driving prices down, why housing demand remains high, why supply is still the real issue, and how interest rates, labor data, and mortgage payments will shape affordability for homeowners and buyers in 2026. “I’ve never met a homeowner who said they were glad they waited.”
