Impact of Corporate Landlords on Housing Markets
Corporate landlords, particularly institutional investors, have begun to significantly affect certain neighborhoods in the real estate market. While they only own 1% of family homes nationally, their concentrated purchasing in 53 zip codes predominantly in Sun Belt states has led to a marked increase in both home prices and rental rates in these areas. Over the past five years, property values in these neighborhoods rose by an average of 64%, outpacing the national increase of 48%, while median rents surged by 30% compared to a 23% national average. This trend has garnered attention from politicians advocating for regulatory measures, revealing the mixed responses to the influx of these corporate buyers in local markets and the potential for both investment and displacement they introduce.
