Institutional ownership of single-family homes has been a controversial topic over the past year. Investors purchased a record-high number of rental properties while many would-be homeowners were priced out of the market. The largest owner of this asset class in the U.S. is Invitation Homes Inc. (NYSE: INVH), a real estate investment trust (REIT) with a portfolio of about 83,000 single-family rental homes as of the end of the first quarter this year. The company’s portfolio is mainly made up of homes in the Western U.S. and sunbelt states, where the barriers to homeownership are highest and rent demand is strong. The average monthly rent for the entire portfolio during the second quarter was $2,124, with the highest average rent being in Southern California at $2,779 per month. The majority of the homes are three or four bedrooms, with some having as many as six bedrooms. Assuming comfortable occupancy at an average of 4.5 people per home, Invitation Homes could easily supply housing for the entire country of Iceland, which currently has a population of 373,059.

Economic consultancy Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) said it expects house prices to fall by 4.5% on average next year, with a peak annual contraction of 6.2% expected in Q3 2023. This fall in house prices, according to Cebr, will come amid sharp rises in mortgage rates, significant cost-of-living pressures, an impending recession, and anticipated resultant increases in unemployment. “Since at least November of last year, Cebr has stressed that 2023 would be a challenging year for the UK housing market,” the London-based consultancy specialising in economic impact assessment, macroeconomic forecasting and thought leadership stated in a note. “While the recently announced energy price cap will bring some respite to households and businesses, these forces are nonetheless set to plague the economy for at least the next year.”
