What effect are investors having on your market?

Sep 1, 2015

We are all thrilled at improving real estate market conditions. And, truth be told, we are happy to move inventory, no matter who’s buying.

Consider this, if investors make up a major percentage of the home buyers, how strong are underlying market conditions?

I spoke with a real estate company owner this week who told me that 95% of their sales were to investors. 50 per cent of their deals were cash. What do numbers like these say about what’s really going on? Should we care?

Does it matter?
