Compared to the spring survey, investors who were polled for the fall version had a much rosier outlook, even with murmurs of a looming recession.
The survey’s more salient points include:
72% of the polled investors said that market conditions for investing are the same or better than one year ago.
75% of respondents believe conditions will remain stable or improve over the next six months.
In the spring survey, only 30% of investors stated that market conditions were better than a year ago, but in this recent survey, that number climbed to 49%.
A report from analytics company CoreLogic also revealed that real estate investors remain motivated and optimistic. According to them, investors account for more than one in four home sales, and the interest of rental property buyers and fix-and-flip investors hasn’t faltered.
What’s our takeaway from this information?
In short, recent difficult market circumstances haven’t dampened investors' enthusiasm. Real estate is still one of the most stable and passive investment strategies. This is good news for companies offering real estate investments for beginners and experienced investors.
The willingness of investors to stick with real estate despite some of the market challenges is a sign that the prospects for the industry and investors alike are promising. Investor resilience demonstrates an understanding that real estate continues to hold value as a stable and attractive asset class. They catalyze increased market activity, growth, and innovation. Investor optimism fuels solutions to overcome obstacles, which, of course, benefits them and the market.
