The White House is considering a new affordability-related executive order to address American’s concerns on the cost of living, an official confirmed to the Daily Caller.
The potential executive order would allow people to reach into their retirement and college savings accounts to afford down payments on homes, a White House official confirmed to the Caller. The administration has turned its focus to the issue of affordability over the last several months, with the president himself hitting the road to talk to Americans about his work on the economy.

Politico reported that the executive order could include an action banning large investors from acquiring single-family homes.
President Donald Trump announced in a Truth Social on Wednesday that his administration is going to ban major investors from purchasing single-family homes in America.
“For a very long time, buying and owning a home was considered the pinnacle of the American Dream. It was the reward for working hard, and doing the right thing, but now, because of the Record High Inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress, that American Dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans,” Trump wrote in the social media post. “It is for that reason, and much more, that I am immediately taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes, and I will be calling on Congress to codify it.”
“People live in homes, not corporations,” the president added.
Under former President Joe Biden’s administration, inflation reached record highs, including 9.1% in July 2022. In November 2025, the average price of a single family home in the U.S. dropped to $409,200, according to National Association of Realtors data from Trading Economics.
