In the latest Potomac Perspective, Brian Gardner, Stifel's Chief Washington Policy Strategist, updates views on housing legislation and the CLARITY Act. The chances that Congress will pass the House's version of the housing bill (which is more benign for the build-to-rent industry than the Senate bill) have risen, and the prospects for the Senate's bill have diminished. He maintains the view on the prospects for the CLARITY Act and notes some new complications for passing the bill in 2027.

The Senate Banking Committee approved the CLARITY Act, 15-9. Two committee Democrats joined all 13 Republicans in advancing the bill to the Senate floor. The vote was clearly a positive for the bill's prospects, but it also carried some warning signs. The bill's prospects improved, but we think by less than what others perceive to be the case.

The House could vote next week on a revised housing bill. The updated bill includes a restriction, favored by the Trump administration, to limit the ownership of single-family homes by institutional investors.
