Debunking Myths: The Real Impact of Investors on the Housing Market with Realtor Krista Klause
Are you a San Antonio homebuyer curious about how investors are shaping the current housing market? Let Krista Klause, your local real estate expert, shed light on this topic with real data. 🌟📊
The Investor Influence: What's the Truth? 🤔💼
You might have heard rumors about investors, especially big firms, buying up homes and affecting your chances of finding one. Here’s the real scoop:
Single-Family Homes (SFHs) Breakdown 🏠📈
- Total SFHs in the U.S.: 82 million
- Owner-Occupied Homes: 68 million (82.93%)
- Single-Family Rentals (SFRs): About 14 million
Who Owns These Rentals? 🧐
Investors fall into four categories:
- Mom & Pop: 1-9 SFRs
- Regional Investors: 10-99 SFRs
- Smaller National Investors: 100-999 SFRs
- Institutional Investors: Over 1,000 SFRs
Contrary to popular belief, most SFRs are not owned by large institutional investors. In fact, they’re mostly owned by small mom & pop investors – people just like you, who view buying a home as an investment. 🏡💼
The Real Story 📘✅
Despite media narratives, institutional investors are the smallest group in the rental market. Many homeowners see real estate as a valuable investment, whether for generating rental income or holding onto their first homes.
Bottom Line 📌
Institutional investors play a role in the rental market, but they’re far from dominating home sales. If you're navigating the San Antonio housing market and want clear, expert insights, Krista Klause is here to help. 📞🌟
