    Redfin Says Investors Buying Half as Many Homes as They Were a Year Ago

    By Brad Beckett on February 21, 2023 News

    Redfin logoA new report from Redfin says that investor purchases of U.S. homes fell a record 45.8% year over year in Q4 2022.  They said the high cost of borrowing money and the prospect of substantial home-price declines have made real estate investing less attractive. In addition, they point out that the 2nd biggest decline on record occurred in 2008, when investor purchases slumped 45.1% during the subprime mortgage crisis.

    Some key points:

    • Investor home purchases fell a record 46% year over year in the fourth quarter.
    • Investors bought 18% of homes that sold, down from 19% a year earlier.
    • Pandemic boomtowns Las Vegas and Phoenix saw investor purchases fall over 60% – more than all of the other metros Redfin analyzed.
    • Investors pulled back from single-family homes more than condos and townhomes, and high-priced properties more than low-priced properties.

    “It’s possible that investors will start to wade back into the market this year given that mortgage rates have ticked down from their 2022 high – especially if home prices show signs of bottoming…But it’s unlikely that investors will return with the same vigor they had in 2021…”  Said Redfin Senior Economist Sheharyar Bokhari.
