Home purchases now made primarily by current homeowners
Investors are no longer buying as much of the real estate inventory at the moment --but instead, current homeowners are.
According to an article on DSNews.com, investors are no longer buying as much of the real estate inventory--but instead, current homeowners are.
HousePulse attributes this change to the rising home prices and decrease in distressed inventory; home purchases from investors are now at 19.7 percent, down from 23.1 percent. First-time homebuyers had just a slight decrease from 36 percent to now 35.7 percent. Current homeowners, in contrast, make 44.6 percent of the housing market purchases (instead of the 43.8 percent in May).
