The Difference of a Decade: Rising Purchases amid swings in market share
Introduction
In 2011, the United States had just reemerged from the 2006 housing
market crash. Foreclosed homes were appearing on the market in
spades, and many investors looking to snap up properties at a
discount were buying.
What began as a spree of purchases to capitalize on low-cost, high-
growth properties in 2011 peaked in 2018. But since then, the pace of
investment has slowed. By 2020, this decrease in investor purchase
activity was disproportionately exhibited in bigger buyers, with small
mom and pop investors making up a more significant share of
investors than at any point in the past.
Much has changed in the last decade. In this CoreLogic report, we use
a new investment indicator to look at investor buying activity from
several different perspectives. We also investigate activity nationally
by both price tier and investor size and look at which regions have
had the most and least activity.
