Steering = Directing or discouraging buyers from certain neighborhoods based on race, religion, or other protected classes. This violates the Federal Fair Housing Act.
Blockbusting = Inducing owners to sell by suggesting a protected class moving into the neighborhood will lower values.
Redlining = Refusing loans or insurance in certain neighborhoods.
Puffing = Exaggerated sales talk, not discriminatory.
Therefore, the action described = steering.

I keep mixing up blockbusting and steering. Is steering the one where they limit neighborhoods?

I practiced a question like this before, and I think steering is the answer since it involves directing buyers based on race.

I remember something about redlining being related to race, but I can't recall the specifics.

I think this has to do with steering, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the right term.
