CNBC's Diana Olick reports on news regarding the real estate market.

Real estate investors, both individual and institutional, accounted for one-third of all single-family rental property purchases in the second quarter of 2025, according to a report from CJ Patrick Company. This marks the highest investor share in the past five years, despite a decline in overall home sales due to high prices, increased mortgage rates, and economic uncertainty.

While investors now own about 20% of the nation's 86 million single-family homes, they are also selling significant numbers of properties, with nearly half of those sales going to traditional homebuyers. Large institutional investors, such as Invitation Homes and American Homes 4 Rent, remain a small part of the market and are shifting focus to building new rental communities. States with the highest investor-owned home shares include Hawaii, Alaska, Montana, and Maine, driven by strong tourism sectors.
