Investors scooped up 9.5% of homes in April, up 64% from the same period in 2019.
First-time homebuyers who struggled to snag a property this past spring might have been competing with deep-pocketed investors. While the share of investor purchases has fallen from its February peak of 9.7%, investors still scooped up 9.5% of homes in April, up 64% from the same time in 2019 and just about double the share of homes they purchased at the same point in 2015, according to a new analysis from Realtor.com.“In...
While the share of investor purchases has fallen from its February peak of 9.7%, investors still scooped up 9.5% of homes in April, up 64% from the same time in 2019 and just about double the share of homes they purchased at the same point in 2015, according to a new analysis from Realtor.com.“In the shorter term, everyday home shoppers should be prepared to face tough competition from a group that has deep pockets, often filled with cash,” Realtor.

The two exceptions — Branson and Summit Park, Utah — are vacation destinations.In its analysis, Realtor.com defined investors as a buyer or seller that was or is an absentee-owner, and has a name identifying it as a company or corporation.
Nonetheless, the data could draw further scrutiny to real-estate investors, who have already been under a microscope for their buying practices since the 2008 financial crisis. Democratic legislators have been particularly concerned about massive institutional investors swooping into majority non-white neighborhoods.
