Small Investors Gain More Ground as Investor
Activity Edges Higher Nationally
AUSTIN,
Texas, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- While
the share of homes purchased by investors edged slightly higher,
investor selling hit a record high with 10.8% of sellers
representing investors in 2024, the highest investor seller share
in the data's history, according to a report out today from
Realtor.com®. This significant shift in investor market
participation comes as the overall housing market continues to
adjust from the pandemic-era frenzy, with inventory levels
improving, home price growth leveling off and rents easing.
"Investor trends signal a transition," said Danielle Hale, chief economist,
Realtor.com®. "Nationwide, investors picked up more
homes on net in 2024, as smaller investors were a growing majority
of investor buyers. But with investor selling at a new high, the
market saw the smallest net investor buying activity in five years,
lessening one of the notable headwinds for entry-level buyers who
often compete with investors."
Nationally, 13.0% of homes purchased in 2024 were bought by
investors, a slight increase from 2023 but still below the 2022
peak of 13.3%. This increase occurred in part due to a decrease in
total home sales, indicating a growing presence of investors in a
smaller market. On the sell side, investors accounted for 10.8% of
sellers in 2024, the highest share on record, up from 10.1% in
2023. This shift resulted in the smallest margin between investor
buying and selling since 2019, suggesting a reduced net impact of
investor demand on overall supply.
Small Investors Share Growing
A significant trend
observed in the 2024 data was the growing dominance of small
investors. Small investors, defined as those entities that have
purchased fewer than 10 homes, made up 59.2% of investor purchases,
the highest share in the data's history. In contrast, large
investor activity, which includes entities who have purchased 50 or
more homes, fell to 21.7% of purchases, the lowest since 2007.
Small investors purchased 361,900 homes in 2024, a 3.7%
year-over-year increase, while large investor purchases decreased
by 8.7% to 132,500 homes, the lowest level since 2018.
Fewer Investors Purchase in All-Cash
While all-cash
sales became more prevalent in the overall housing market in 2024,
investors were more likely to utilize debt. All-cash investor sales
fell to their lowest level since 2008, although they remained
nearly double the cash share of total home sales. Small investors
saw the cash purchase share fall from its peak of 65.6% in 2023 to
62.0% in 2024, the lowest small investor cash purchase share since
2008. The large investor cash purchase share fell from 73.2% in
2023 to 68.9% in 2024, the lowest level since 2015.
Investors Pick Affordable, Bustling States for
Investment
Regionally, investor activity varied
considerably. Missouri (21.2%),
Oklahoma (18.7%), and Kansas (18.4%) had the highest investor buyer
share, while Oklahoma (16.7%),
Missouri (16.7%), and Georgia (15.9%) saw the highest share of
investor sellers. In terms of net impact on supply, Hawaii, Montana and Washington D.C., experienced the largest
net-negative impact (more buyers than sellers), while California, Minnesota and Oregon saw the largest net-positive impact
(more sellers than buyers). The states with the largest growth in
investor buying share compared to 2023 were Delaware, Ohio and Washington
D.C., while investor selling grew the most in Mississippi, Nevada and South
Dakota.
"Investor strategies vary across the U.S.," said Hannah Jones, senior economic research analyst,
Realtor.com®. "In some states like Hawaii, Montana and Washington, D.C., investors are still net
buyers, competing with first-time buyers for entry-level housing
inventory. This contrasts with markets like California, Minnesota and Oregon, where investors are net sellers,
creating opportunities for aspiring homeowners."
Among the 150 largest U.S. metros, Springfield, Mo., Memphis, Tenn, and Wichita, Kan., recorded the highest investor
buyer share. Memphis, Tenn.;
Oklahoma City and Springfield, Mo., led in investor seller
share. On a net basis, investors most significantly boosted demand
in Miami, Pittsburgh and New
York, while they added most to supply in Sacramento, Minneapolis and Portland.

Methodology:
In this analysis we examined deed records
dating from January 2000 to
February 2025 nationally, at the
state-level and in the 50 largest US metros. We included only
single family homes, condos, townhomes and row houses and we
excluded multi-family buildings which is not a market the typical
homebuyer is competitive in. We attempt to capture
business-oriented, buy and hold investor purchases, excluding
buyers with an established flipping oriented business model. Some
flipping activity is likely included as it is not always clear
up-front whether an investor purchase is intended for a flip or
buy-and-hold. We define an investor as a buyer or seller that
was/is an absentee-owner and that has a name which includes the
following: LLP, LP, LLC, GP, or TRUST. In addition to this broad
definition, we also exclude keywords and sale types relating to
home builders, relocation service companies, government bodies and
financial institutions. Data limitations mean that this analysis
excludes small investors not registered under a company name.
Census estimates show that in 2021 37.1% of rental units were owned
by individual investors while 48.7% of units were owned by
Trustees, LLP, LP, or LLC, General Partnership, Real Estate
Investment Trust, or Real Estate Corporation. Ownership entity for
more than half of the remaining units was not reported.
