No, most landlords just buy housing. Construction is usually a seperate business.
Housing is only constructed because there are landlords. If the construction companies don't sell the properties, they would become the landlords.
How do you want the housing market to work without landlords?

Bwahahahaha
Oh wait, youre serious, let me laugh even harder

There shouldn't be a housing market, markets are inefficient, and you shouldn't create winners and losers around basic human needs.
That's what you don't like. How do you want to organize housing?
There are countless more efficient ways that are just less efficient at generating income for the ownership class. Do I need to run over all the strategies from pre-fuedalism to the varieties of modern public housing?
I would like to know the strategy that you like best.
Public funding of new housing and home maintenance, people are guaranteed a living place.
Where is the advantage if you have to pay more taxes for it? If you look at public projects, do you think housing will stay within budget?
I'd rather pay five percent of my income in taxes and not have to walk by homeless people because they have somewhere to live and not have to worry about being homeless if I lose my job or eventually retire and have to worry about constantly increasing rent or property taxes on a fixed income than pay around a third of my income in rent so Brad and Karen can go on another vacation to the Bahamas this year.
