In 2024, investors drove 11% of all US home sales — the highest share in more than 2 decades. That translates to nearly 509,000 properties sold, according to data released Tuesday by Realtor.com
While home purchases by investors rose 2% annually in the first quarter — to 46,726 transactions — condo sales declined by 3%, to just 8,509 units, according to data released Wednesday by Redfin
Real estate investors bought roughly 44K homes during the first quarter of 2024, a 0.5% uptick from a year ago
New data from John Burns and Redfin shows that investor activity slowed toward the end of 2022 but still accounted for about 1/4 of home sales. That's up from about 11 percent in 2001
