Our Mission
Greater Affordability, Innovation, and Choice for Consumers
The Coalition for Competitive Housing Markets was established to educate policy stakeholders about the benefit of maintaining competitive housing markets for homeowners, renters, and the economy. We support market-based ways to give Americans access to affordable, high-quality housing. We believe that robust competition in housing leads to greater affordability, innovation, and choice for consumers. We advocate policies that reduce barriers to entry, increase transparency, and promote fairness in housing.
Housing is the foundation of communities across the United States. Main Street America is comprised of housing-related small businesses, including 100,000 real estate brokerages, 16,000 title companies, and 500,000 general contractors and home builders.

Competitive Housing Markets Benefit Everyone
Free markets make purchasing a home better by allowing for a wider variety of homes and prices, as well as creating a more efficient and transparent process for buying and selling homes. Additionally, in a free market, buyers have more negotiating power and flexibility to find the best deal on a home.
Free and competitive markets benefit renters by offering a wide range of housing options at affordable prices. Additionally, the competition between landlords incentivizes them to improve the quality of their properties and provide better services to attract and retain tenants.
Overregulating housing markets can be bad for the economy as it can reduce the supply of affordable housing, limiting the ability of workers to move to areas with better job opportunities and slowing down economic growth. It can also increase costs for builders and developers, leading to higher prices for buyers and reducing the overall demand for housing.
