What We're Saying

Energy Efficiency: HUD has extended its new energy efficiency standards compliance deadline to May 28, 2026. The standards would impact new construction and rehabilitation of HUD- and USDA-financed housing. Learn more.  

Eviction Moratorium Lawsuit: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) abandoned an effort to reverse the industry’s victory in the lawsuit against the federal eviction moratorium. “The case will soon be transferred back to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims to determine the damages owed to each plaintiff,” noted NAA’s Mark Poist. Owners of rental properties can still join the case. Read the latest.

What We're Hearing

Connecticut Housing Bill: “After months of negotiation, Gov. Ned Lamont and the top legislative leaders have reached a deal on a compromise housing bill. The new legislation is similar to House Bill 5002, a much-debated proposal Lamont vetoed earlier this year, but with key changes designed to assuage concerns from town officials that the state was infringing on their "local control." (CT Insider)  

Mortgages: “President Donald Trump has suggested creating a new, 50-year mortgage plan as a way to encourage young people to buy real estate, according to a post on his Truth Social platform. The U.S. Director of Federal Housing Bill Pulte also replied on X, saying that the agency was working to institute the new housing proposition.” (ABC News)
