Some real estate experts aren’t totally sold on President Donald Trump’s latest proposed policies on residential real estate leading to relief for the Las Vegas Valley housing crisis. Trump’s other policy statement was to direct Congress to act on banning large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes.

Las Vegas is facing a housing reality many families here are feeling firsthand. A new report from ���ӽ紫ý's Lied Center for Real Estate that shows investors have bought up nearly 100,000 single-family homes across the valley — about one in every five homes sold over the past 15 years.

Film tax credits and other priorities of Gov. Joe Lombardo were supposed to be the highlights of the Nevada Legislature’s special session in November. But legislators stole the spotlight (at least temporarily) when, for the first time in Nevada history, they added a bill to Lombardo’s session agenda seeking to limit corporate homebuying in the Silver State.
