A Recent report found 27% Of all American houses that were sold in Q1 2025, investors were bought – the highest share in at least five years. That number was 18.5% between 2020 and 2023.
However, the number of houses purchased is only an increase of 1.2%, which shows that investors do not necessarily buy more houses this year, but there are fewer traditional buyers on the market and in general less sales.
What is even more interesting is that the vast majority of these investors (85%) are mother and pops that only have 1-5 properties! In the meantime, large investors show a huge retreat because they sold 76% more property than they bought in Q1.
It seems that both traditional home buyers and the large institutional investors slow down and these smaller investors benefit from them. After many years of bidding wars and rising prices, it now seems a better time to buy an investment court, especially if you want to get a good deal and have the means to place some work in the house.
Of course these figures vary per area, so let’s look at California.
According to this articleThree states dominate investors, accounting for nearly 25% of all national investors: Texas (1.66 m), California (1.45 m) and Florida (1.21 million). However, this is purely according to the volume that is not surprising, since these three states are the most densely populated. Looking at the percentages, Hawaii and Alaska have higher shares of investors with 39.9% and 35.5% respectively.
This article Expands how Californian provinces with low populations, where the ownership of the second house is more common because of tourism and recreational opportunities, have the highest percentage of houses of investors. These include Sierra County, with no less than 82%of the single -family homes owned by investors, Trinity County (77%), Mono County (74%) and Alpine County (68%).
Countries with large cities and more expensive real estate have more modest shares of houses owned by investors: San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, Santa Clara and San Francisco are all at only 15%.
Take -away meals: San Diego Real Estate is not yet flooded by investors, but if you are considering buying an investment possession from the state where it is more affordable, you are not the only one.
