Contrary to popular belief, Wall Street is not purchasing all available homes. Recent data shows a decline in investor-bought properties, with most acquisitions made by smaller investors rather than large firms. This means local buyers, like those in Chicago, still dominate the market. For personalized guidance, consider reaching out to agencies like Harty Realty Group, which caters exclusively to homebuyers.
Investors Are Not Buying Up All the Homes
Some Highlights
- There’s a misconception Wall Street is buying all the homes on the market. But data proves that isn’t true.
- Experts agree the share of homes bought by investors is declining – and most are smaller investors, like your neighbor who owns a second home, not Wall Street.
- No matter what you’ve heard, the majority of homes are still being purchased by everyday homebuyers like you – not big investors. Connect with an agent if you have questions.
