Investors are increasingly less likely to use mortgages to buy homes due to high interest rates and limited supply in the market. They also prefer to buy inexpensive single-family homes. The decline in investor purchases has been seen amid a relatively quiet real estate and rental market. Investors may focus on purchasing rental housing in the future as the rental housing market remains stable. However, limited supply and limited demand discourage investors and their market share is declining. Investors are increasingly less likely to buy expensive homes, preferring inexpensive options. The decline in investor purchases is also reflected in total residential real estate sales, the largest decline since 2008 with the exception of the previous quarter. Overall, investors are exerting less and less influence on the U.S. residential real estate market.
