We saw this beginning a few years ago….In a recent report, CoreLogic says while investor activity in the housing market is often associated with deep-pocketed institutional buyers, data from Q3 2024 is painting a different picture. They say “Mom-and-Pop Investors” are quietly shaping the housing market. Indeed…
“While institutional investors tend to dominate headlines, they account for only a small fraction of total investor activity. Most real estate investors are mom-and-pop landlords, who own three to 10 properties.”
“Smaller-scale investors play a powerful but understated role in the market, buoying home prices even as overall demand has softened.”
