Are Investors Really Dominating the Housing Market?
❌ Breaking the Myth: Everyday Buyers Are Still Leading the Market
There’s a common misconception that investors and flippers are taking over the housing market, making it difficult for everyday buyers to compete. However, Investors Are Not Buying All the Homes, and everyday buyers still play a significant role in shaping the real estate landscape, especially in South Bay and Palos Verdes.
🏘 Investor Activity Is Declining
Recent data reveals that the share of homes purchased by investors has been steadily declining. Additionally, most of these investors are smaller, local players—individuals like your neighbor who owns a rental property or a second home—not large-scale corporations or Wall Street firms. This shift demonstrates that the market is not being dominated by big investors as many assume.
🔑 Everyday Buyers Continue to Lead
Despite some competition, everyday buyers are still a dominant force in the housing market. In fact, everyday buyers continue to drive the majority of home purchases. Whether it’s first-time homebuyers or families looking for a place to settle down, local residents are securing homes across the region. This means that homeownership is still very achievable for those who are prepared and informed about the market.
