"Investor purchases averaged 80,000 to 100,000 homes per month in 2025, roughly matching 2024 levels. While overall home sales have declined since 2021, investors have proven more resilient than traditional buyers, aided in part by all-cash offers that bypass elevated interest rates and allow for deeper discounts. Small investors (those that own fewer than 10 properties) and medium investors (10 to 99 properties) together account for nearly one-quarter of all U.S. home purchases."
"Large investors (100 to 999 properties) and mega-scale investors (1,000 or more) represent about 5% of the market but play an outsized role in providing capital and setting professional management standards, Cotality said in the report. Geographically, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Phoenix and New York were the top cities for investor activity. Population growth is driving acquisitions in Dallas and Houston, while New York and Chicago remain attractive due to strong home-price appreciation."
