The Attorney General and the FTC Chair undertake reviews of large institutional investor acquisitions for anti-competitive practices and prioritize enforcement as directed by the Order.
The Executive Order "Stopping Wall Street from Competing with Main Street Homebuyers" (Jan. 20, 2026) explicitly directs the Attorney General and the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission to review substantial acquisitions, including series of acquisitions, by large institutional investors of single-family homes for anti-competitive effects and to prioritize enforcement against coordinated vacancy and pricing strategies in local single-family home rental markets (see Sec. 4(b) of the Order). The White House fact sheet repeats this language and contemporary reporting (e.g., Reuters) summarizes the same instruction. Verdict: True — the Order text directly instructs the Attorney General and the FTC Chair to review such acquisitions for anti-competitive practices and to prioritize enforcement in the single-family rental market, matching the quoted claim.
