Is Wall Street Really Buying All the Homes? Here’s the Truth.
You’ve probably seen the headlines or those viral TikToks:
“Wall Street is buying up all the houses!”
But let’s clear this up real quick…
It’s just not true.
Let’s Look at the Data:
📉 Mega investors—those owning 1,000+ homes—made up only 0.3% of all home purchases last quarter.
That’s not a typo.
Not 30%, not 13%… just 0.3%.
And that number is actually down from their 2021 peak of 2.4%.
So who’s buying homes right now?
Mostly everyday people.
Folks like you and me—those with 3 to 10 properties max. Not hedge funds. Not billion-dollar institutions.
Why It Matters:
If you’ve been holding off on buying because you feel like you’re competing with Wall Street… here’s the good news:
You’re not.
In fact, many of the big institutional buyers are sitting on the sidelines right now.
Meanwhile:
✅ New listings are rising
✅ Rates have slightly improved
✅ There’s more room for buyers to breathe
This is your window—not theirs.
