Fla. has 4 of the top 10 cities for real estate investors, but they’re pulling back. U.S. investor purchases dropped 11.5% in 1Q 2022 compared to the previous quarter.
SEATTLE – The number of homes purchased by real estate investors in the first quarter declined 11.5% from the quarter before – and 16.5% from the third quarter of 2021, when investor purchases hit a record high, according to a report from Redfin.
Investor purchases still remain above pre-pandemic levels, and investors buy a larger share of America’s homes than ever before – a record 20% of homes sold in the first quarter, up from 19.2% one quarter earlier and 15.3% one year earlier. While total home sales declined, investors’ share remained strong.
