In the early 1800s, the American market was a beacon of freedom and opportunity. Land was abundant, and settlers could move west, buy land at affordable rates, build homes, and start new lives. The Homestead Act of 1862 was a key milestone, offering land to individuals willing to cultivate it, granting ownership to thousands of Americans. The market felt open, fair, and full of promise. Owning a home was an achievable dream for most.
Fast forward to today, and while America still celebrates the idea of a "free market," the reality feels very different for many. Housing costs have skyrocketed, wages have stagnated, and instead of individual families buying homes, large investors and private equity firms have taken over the market. These firms buy up homes not to live in them, but to flip them for profit or rent them out at inflated prices. In 2021 alone, it was reported that around 20% of all home purchases were made by investors. What does that mean for everyday people? It means fewer homes available at fair prices, more competition, and a housing market that feels increasingly out of reach.
As a result, many hardworking people feel trapped, unable to buy their first home despite the so-called "free market." But the truth is, this isn't how it has to be. As a community, we need to raise our voices. The dream of homeownership is a cornerstone of the American dream, and we can't let it be snatched away by profit-driven investors. We, as constituents, have the power to demand change. It’s time we send a clear message to Washington, D.C.: We need policies that protect first-time buyers and ensure that homes are for people, not for profits.
