Re:Mortgage Rates Hit 5.78%, Highest Level Since 2008 by jmoak3 on Thursday June 16, 2022 @11:39AM (#31767328)
Something like 15% of all home sales over the past year were institutional buyers according to a report by the national association of realtors. [0]

It was more dramatic for some counties - Austin’s for example saw 41% of homes sold to institutional buyers.

As rates rise and a recession looms, time horizon before profitability shrinks and ability to pay rent falls into question, which puts these regions at risk of a crash in price as these parties may have to liquidate.

Tread lightly!
