It might seem like real estate investors are dominating the housing market, leaving little room for everyday buyers—but that’s not the reality.
The Truth About Investor Activity in Real Estate
Investor activity is declining, and the majority of homebuyers are regular individuals, not Wall Street firms.
Key Facts:
Small-scale investors dominate. Mega investors make up just 1% of the market (The Mortgage Reports).
Institutional investors are buying less. Their share dropped from 2.4% to 0.3% (JBREC).
Higher mortgage rates = less investor demand. This has reduced competition for buyers.
The idea that big investors are outbidding everyone is a myth. In reality, there are more opportunities for buyers in today’s market than many realize.
