Our housing market has been dominated by corporations and big businesses, leading to an unprecedented crisis for individual homebuyers. It's time to reclaim what is rightfully ours—our homes, our communities, and our future.

In recent years, the landscape of single-family home ownership has been drastically altered. Reports highlight that large corporate entities are acquiring single-family homes at an alarming rate. According to the National Association of Realtors, institutional buyers purchased 18% of all U.S. homes sold in the first quarter of 2021. This has not only escalated property prices but also severely limited the availability of homes for individual buyers.

As these corporations expand their portfolios, they leave little room for individuals who wish to invest in their futures by purchasing a home. Single-family homes should be sanctuaries for families and individuals, not profit-making assets for businesses. Furthermore, this monopolization leads to increased rent prices, eviction risks, and gentrification, displacing long-standing community members.

Creating a balanced housing market means restricting businesses from owning these types of properties. It also means placing sensible limits on individual homeownership to prevent the hoarding of housing stock, ensuring it remains available to those truly in need. Limiting ownership to ten homes per individual can help maintain this balance and promote fair housing access for all.

We need our policymakers to recognize the urgency of this issue and take definitive legislative action. Let's work together to prohibit businesses from owning single-family homes and limit individual ownership to ten homes, ensuring fair access to homeownership for future generations.

Stand with us to demand change. Reclaim our housing market and secure a fair and equitable future for all. Sign this petition today to push for legislative change and restore the dream of homeownership to every American.
