A Winning Streak\u2014Now Facing a Pause<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past few years, real estate investors have enjoyed impressive gains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rental income<\/strong> has surged by <strong>16.4% over three years<\/strong>, and <strong>24.9% over five years<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Home prices<\/strong> have jumped <strong>35.5% in three years<\/strong>, and <strong>50.8% in five years<\/strong>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to historically low financing costs, many investors have capitalized on these trends. But now, signs suggest the momentum may be slowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Shifting Market Conditions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Slowing rent growth<\/strong>: While rents are still rising in most areas, the rate of growth has slowed significantly. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shoppers turning to new builds<\/strong>: Builders are constructing at a 40-year high, populating the market with new homes\u2014particularly multifamily units. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Existing home inventory is low<\/strong>: At just 1\u202fmillion listings, supply is at historic lows. To reach pre-pandemic levels would require a <strong>50% increase<\/strong>, and a <strong>100% increase<\/strong> is needed for a healthy balance. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Why Investors Matter Right Now<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With few existing homes on the market, investors have a unique opportunity to sell:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High efficiency in sales<\/strong>: Properties are moving faster, with the median \u201cdays on market\u201d dropping to <strong>18 days in May<\/strong>\u2014down from 22 in April, and still quicker than May 2022. Around <strong>74% of homes sold in less than a month<\/strong>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A call for policy support<\/strong>: The National Association of REALTORS\u00ae proposes offering <strong>temporary capital gains relief<\/strong> for investors who sell to <strong>first-time or first-generation buyers<\/strong>\u2014a move designed to unlock inventory and assist those most in need. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.

With rent gains slowing, fresh construction drawing buyers, and low existing-home inventory putting pressure on prices, listing your property could pay off\u2014especially when you could benefit from potential <strong>capital gains incentives<\/strong> for selling to first-time buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Want to talk more about market trends or compare local data in your area?<\/strong> I\u2019d be happy to help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> REALTOR\u00ae Magazine<br \/><strong>\u201cGood Time for Investors to Unload\u2019\u201d<\/strong><br \/>National Association of REALTORS\u00ae<br \/>Reprinted with permission<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
