From Cotality:
Investors maintain 30% market share entering 2026
Cotality, a leading global property information, analytics, and data-enabled solutions provider, today released its latest update on investor activity in the U.S. Housing Market.
Persistent housing unaffordability continues to sideline owner-occupant buyers while simultaneously fueling robust rental demand. At the close of 2025, investor activity remained stable, accounting for 30% of all single-family home purchases—a slight increase from the 29% share recorded at the end of 2024.
“Fewer first-time homebuyers mean more people are staying in the rental market, and investors are responding to that demand,” said Thom Malone, Principal Economist at Cotality. “The current landscape differs significantly from the pandemic-era surge, which was fueled by rapid price appreciation. Now, while real estate is no longer the ‘hottest’ asset, strong rental demand and the ability to secure acquisitions below list price are keeping investors engaged even as traditional buyers retreat.”
Through late 2025, investor activity remained steady, averaging 80,000 to 100,000 monthly purchases—a pace consistent with 2024 levels. While overall sales volume has dipped since 2021, investors have proven far more resilient than traditional buyers. In just four years, the gap between owner-occupied buyers and investor purchases narrowed from 270,000 to 110,000 units. This resilience is largely attributed to the prevalence of all-cash offers, which allow investors to bypass elevated interest rates and secure deeper discounts.
The single-family residential market continues to be anchored by small (owning fewer than 10 properties) and medium-sized investors (10-99 properties), whose collective activity accounts for nearly one-quarter of all U.S. home purchases. While large (100–999 properties) and mega-scale investors (1,000+) command a smaller market share of approximately 5%, they remain a vital component by providing significant funds and helping set professional management standards in the industry.

As the country headed by a child rapist and a cabinet filled with rapists, we have no moral authority to tell others that their civilization is getting erased. How blind can we get?

Rent- what false accusation are you making against Rubio now? Your incessant smearing for cheap points is only leaving this place barren of reasonable conversation.
It happens when low-quality contributors infect discussions on the internet.
I see the same now on Facebook as well , they are now angry and are heading to unhinged because the Epstein files! It’s all a coverup! There can be no other reality in their minds everyone is guilty by association. Burn them at the stake! The police,the FBI,the Judges,the lawyers, heck even the victims won’t testify.They are all in on the coverup. They are all in on it! Burn them all burn them all. Burn burn burn!
Would it be wrong to do a go fund me for the kidnappers? If we can raise enough perhaps we can get Grandma Guthrie out of the headlines, it’s been two weeks of headlines for Grandma, enough already.
TSA workers told to show up today and work without pay. How long before flights get cancelled? I’d say after the next skipped paycheck there will be a shortage of TSA showing up to search your dirty laundry in you stinky luggage.
Thank Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Senate democrats except for
Fetterman. Instead of putting forward legislation to change immigration for the good of the county they instead throw a tantrum.
The tax laws benefit real estate industry too much.
You want to save the single family house market. Make it punitive for non-residential owner.
Failing that. Nothing else will work. If Fannie and Freddie disappear or there is another financial crisis than only cash rich investors will have an edge.
So blaming the messenger when the message doesn’t align with your views – is high quality? Got it!

step 2, ditch senior freeze.
granny doesn’t need a 4 bedroom home.
juicy
yeah, immigration was how this country was built. americans were such nice people. the government was in bed with corporations forever. how to build a railroad, legislate land given to the railroad barons. get a kickback. sell the rest of the land nearby, keep the cash. whose land was it, native americans. who built the railroad, chinese immigrants cause american workers were busy digging for gold to get rich while the chinese immigrants were dying while blasting granite.
from the beginning the american government was full of criminals, and it still is, and always will be.
fetterman is a traitor.

rumor has it that savannah guthrie interviewed epstein survivors.
this is payback against her.
who killed charlie kirk and epstein?
hollwood effect fake shooting of trump’s ear.
the handlers know how to do all of this, and convince you otherwise.
Their poets who write big of the “White Burden.” Trash!
The White Man’s Burden, Lord, is the burden of his cash.
In “The White Man’s Burden”, Kipling encouraged the American annexation and colonisation of the Philippine Islands, a Pacific Ocean archipelago purchased in the three-month Spanish–American War (1898)
Btw, anyone heard of why the MAGA kid who shot Trump’s ear (or maybe not?) did what he did? Story was buried.
In other news, Canada’s biggest scandal is double touching, while American leaders touching girls is not even a scandal in Right Wing circles.

Today I learned
Canada protecting Nazis
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova comments on Canada’s refusal to declassify the list of Nazi criminals and collaborators who found refuge there after World War II. Referring to the Jules Deschênes Commission, she accuses Canadian authorities of concealing historical truth under the pretext of national security and protecting Ukraine’s neo-Nazi narrative. Zakharova stresses the importance of historical memory, condemns the glorification of Nazi collaborators, and calls for the publication of archival documents for the sake of justice and moral responsibility.
America,
so puritanical.
illegal to drink a beer on a beach, you will get prosecuted.
rape a child on epstein island, you are given government grants.
i don’t believe there is life after death, nor that there is a man in the sky or heaven or hell.
but one thing i am certain of, is that there is no justice down here on earth for those about a certain income or status level. this is why they become weirdos and creeps. cause they can get away with all of this bizarre behavior, and can pay for women and children to play along with thier odd fetishes.
I went threw some of last weeks posts since I was away last week, and I have to say the blog sadly is just declining. Everyday its just blind empty rhetoric, inane sloganeering, conspiracy theories, name calling for posters who disagree, and of course the posting by one or two people under multiple screen names .
The level of intelligent discourse here is at an all time low.
canadian guy cheated, camera showed it.
it’s the same reason we need body cameras.
probably should have spousal cameras as well, to see if your wife/husband is cheating at work.
one of my co-workers just got snagged for hooking up with another employee. just had two children with his wife. twenty something chick new it, didn’t care about her fellow feminist woman. she cared about what she wanted, some diccc.
she could have told him no, you are married. nope, wanted dicc.
hope the pussy was worth it guy. you gonna pay.well, he is already, his face looks like he has a hemoglobin of 3. stupid fucc, and she isn’t even that hot, cute, but portly.
i don’t think humans are meant to be monogamous.
there is more tea to spill where i work than there is in boston harbor.
through is when you go through something. that’s intelligent.
threw is when you toss or throw something.

If you are going to judge as if you are morally superior or more intelligent, then you actually need to be.
very condescending post.
in an investigation, details matter.
The blog reflects the overall tone of the Nation.
Indefensible bullshit and a heritage embodied by cruel
rascist pedophiles. No intellectual contortions will make this any better.
Dark: Typo on my part, must be the jet lag.
Dark: 10:29, I don’t know if your comment was directed at my post, but if it is a little self awareness is in order on your part.

pedos have no moral, ethical or intellectual standing. Not sure why that’s news to you people
Shhh.. talking about Pedos is downgrading this blog.
America has been downgraded
To sit on the fence and act as if you are above it all is the height of hypocrisy

In First Public Comments Since Trump’s Racist Video, Obama Laments Lost Decorum
In a podcast interview, former President Barack Obama did not directly address the video posted by Mr. Trump but denounced a “clown show” on social media.
By Ali Watkins
Feb. 15, 2026, 9:04 a.m. ET
“There’s this sort of clown show that’s happening in social media and on television, and what is true is that there doesn’t seem to be any shame about this among people who used to feel like you had to have some sort of decorum and a sense of propriety and respect for the office,” Mr. Obama told Brian Tyler Cohen, a YouTuber and podcast host. “That’s been lost,” he added.
Some statistics from 2025 jobs.. 5% of job cuts last year were because of AI.
Given that over 1.25 million jobs were lost, that’s a big number and AI is just starting to take on more office roles.
And the podcast I was listening to says that new tech always had this type of affect. Like the Industrial Revolution did, however in the past the Govt did something about it. Like child labor protection act or minimum wage act. But this time around we hve the worst govt during these changing times which just sits back and watches as things get worse.
AOC proves how great she is. Vaqueros are from Spain…
Spanish settlers introduced cattle and horses to Mexico..
What a great leader.

“I have to say the blog sadly is just declining”
Only partly due to the fact that NJ real estate just isn’t that interesting at this point. But overwhelmingly due to the fact that as the blog has become more politics-oriented, the TDS-afflicted Dem stooges, whose party has literally nothing to offer from a policy standpoint and whose politicians are an assortment of stammering misfits, turn every day into a DJT name-calling contest — nazi, Russian asset, antisemite, autocrat, dictator, and various other slurs du-jour. It’s simply impossible to have a meaningful conversation/debate with idiots like VAG, PantLoad, LACKS/Fatts — they have nothing constructive to offer.
While Marco’s speech is clearly the shining moment of the Munich conference — one of the greatest political speeches of all time — and AOC’s stuttering word-salad the most embarrassing, the main take-away has to be that Shrillary Clinton is one of the most miserable people on the face of the earth.
Regardless of what AOC said, I am glad everyone acknowledges that Spanish was in the US long before English was first spoken.
And you can say hands down AOC is a better human being than Marco Rubio.
Looks like Sam Bankman-Fried wants another trial.

What’s the going rate for a pardon these days?
Spanish is a colonizer language just like English.
This is an administration has no real global (or european) policy – just far-right ideology and incoherent tweets – followed by speeches by idiots whose word will not stand beyond the current regime’s time.
After all was said, Europe was left wondering which America it is allying with, said Ivan Krastev, a Bulgarian political scientist who is a fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences, a research institution in Vienna.
“Sometimes we say we can do without the Americans, and then sometimes we’re relieved that America seems to be back,” he said.
Europeans who see in Mr. Rubio a return to the kind of American ally they have known since the end of World War II “are fooling themselves,” he said.
