In 2024, real estate investors represented nearly 11% of all U.S. home sales, the highest share recorded since 2001. This marks a significant rise in investor activity, with a median sale price of $330,000 for their properties. Investors sold approximately 509,000 homes last year, which is fewer than the pandemic peaks of 2021 and 2022 but rose notably compared to pre-pandemic figures. Their motivation has evolved from profiting on home value increases to responding to a softening market and declining rents, especially prominent in states like Missouri and Oklahoma.
