Published by Statista Research Department, May 24, 2024

Since 2000, the number of homes bought by investors in the United States has fluctuated significantly. It experienced a decrease during the financial crises of 2008 hitting its bottom in the first quarter of 2009 with 10,671 purchases, and it slowly recovered the number of purchases in the following years, peaking in the third quarter of 2021 with 98,462 purchases. Due to inflation, current purchase numbers are similar to those of the pre-pandemic times.
