How Financialization Pushes Up Home Prices

How Financialization Pushes Up Home Prices

How the demand by corporations and individuals to turn single-family homes into rental units is pushing up home prices, making it more difficult for first-time homebuyers to purchase a house.

In this episode you'll learn:

  • Why the United Nations is accusing certain countries and corporations of treating housing as a tradable financial commodity rather than a human right.
  • Why Blackstone believes it is helping to solve the housing crisis by buying and renting single family homes and that the United Nations is wrong in its accusations.
  • How the drive by corporations and individuals to own rental housing is pushing up home prices, but not necessarily rents.
  • Why the U.S. has a chronic affordable housing shortage and what can be done about it.
