*Investors Snapping Up Starter Homes? Here's What You Need to Know*
26% of homes sold in Q4 2023 went to investors, with many eyeing lower-priced starter homes. This might sound scary, but there's more to the story!
Hold Up, Wall Street! While the "ban investor ownership" bill sounds tempting, it might not be the whole picture. Turns out, only a small portion of these investors are big hedge funds. The real culprit? Smaller players (20%) who see starter homes as easy rentals.
Here's the real problem: Converting these homes to rentals takes away options for first-time buyers, limiting their path to homeownership. So, what's the answer? Building more homes!!! Increasing supply is the key to meeting skyrocketing demand.
Remember: Knowledge is power! Stay informed about the housing market and advocate for policies that encourage sustainable growth.
