US EditionInvestors snap up growing share of US homes as traditional buyers struggle to afford one
UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – Rising home prices and mortgage rates have priced out many buyers, enabling investors to purchase 27% of homes sold in early 2025, the highest share in five years.
- In early 2025, U.S. real estate investors captured nearly 27% of home sales, the highest in five years, amid rising prices and high mortgage costs, according to BatchData.
- Rising home prices and elevated mortgage rates since early 2022 have priced out many traditional buyers, driving increased investor market share.
- BatchData reports investors purchased 265,000 homes in early 2025, up 1.2% year-over-year, with mom-and-pop investors holding 85% of investor-owned properties.
- As a result, investor-owned homes make up about 20% of U.S. single-family homes, with sales slowing and large firms selling more than they buy, reducing market availability.
- More broadly, investors purchased 1.2 million homes in 2024, surpassing the 2020–23 average of 1.1 million, amid a persistent sales slump to a 30-year low.
