AP (8 July 2025) Investors snap up growing share of US homes as traditional buyers struggle to afford one ✓ 27% of homes sold in Q1 2025 were bought by investors → Highest investor share in at least five years, showing a shift in market dynamics. ✓ 265,000 homes purchased by investors in Q1 2025 → A 1.2% increase from Q1 2024, despite the overall housing slowdown. ✓ Investor share averaged 18.5% from 2020–2023 → This year’s 27% marks a sharp rise above the recent average. ✓ Investor purchases reached 1.2 million homes in 2024 → Up from a yearly average of 1.1 million since 2020. ✓ 20% of the 86 million single-family homes are investor-owned → Roughly 17.2 million homes are owned by investors nationwide. ✓ Mom-and-pop investors (1–5 homes) own 85% of investor-held properties → Small-scale investors dominate the rental and second-home market. ✓ Mid-sized investors (6–10 homes) account for 5% → A small but notable portion of investor-owned inventory. ✓ Institutional investors (1,000+ homes) hold just 2.2% → Despite their visibility, large firms own a tiny fraction of the total. ✓ 6 out of 8 large investor firms sold more homes than they bought in Q2 → Signs point to a pullback among big institutional players. ✓ Housing market remains sluggish since early 2022 → Affordability issues from rising mortgage rates continue to sideline traditional buyers. ✓ 2023 home sales were the lowest in nearly 30 years → Market conditions have sharply reduced transaction volume. ✓ Investor activity underscores affordability crisis → As homebuyers are priced out, investors are stepping in to fill the gap.
