Discrimination in housing shows up as steering, blockbusting, and redlining. Steering is when a real estate professional directs buyers toward or away from certain neighborhoods because of protected characteristics, which limits their housing choices. Blockbusting involves exploiting fears about changes in neighborhood demographics to push owners to sell at lower prices, again targeting protected groups. Redlining is denying or restricting financial services, like loans or insurance, in a neighborhood based on its racial or ethnic makeup.

These practices are illegal under the Fair Housing Act and related laws because they deny equal access to housing and financing based on protected characteristics. The other options describe neutral or standard business practices and do not inherently discriminate.
