Real estate investors shed their rental properties in record numbers last year, in response to softening rent prices. Almost 11% of all 2024 U.S. home sales came from real estate investors, the highest share in data tracked since 2001, according to a Realtor.com Investor Report. The median sale price for these investor properties was $330,000 and investor sales increased 5.2% from the year, with investor sales increasing faster than investor buying.
