It can feel like big investors are buying up all the homes right now. But the data tells a different story.

Large institutional investors – the ones owning 100+ homes – made up just 1.2% of home purchases in late 2025.

That means 99 out of 100 homes were bought by everyday buyers and small, local investors. Not big corporations.

In a few areas, investor activity is more noticeable. But nationally, big investors are a much smaller part of the market than most people think.

If you’re wondering how this plays out right here in our local market, let’s talk. A little context can make a big difference when you’re deciding your next move.

The Credit Score Myth That’s Holding Would-Be Buyers Back

Your credit score is important. But that doesn’t mean it has to be perfect.

If credit has been the reason you’ve been waiting to buy a home, it might be time to take another look at your options. If you want help understanding where you stand and what your next step could be, connect with a local lender.

You don’t need to have everything figured out to start the conversation.

Selling your house as-is may sound like a good idea – until you look at what’s happening in the market.

On the surface, it feels easy. No repairs. No projects. No extra effort. But here’s the reality.
Right now, most sellers are making at least some repairs before they list.

Why? Because inventory is up, buyers have choices again, and condition matters.

Homes that feel move-in ready get more attention and stronger offers.
Homes that don’t? They sit longer and sell for less.

Now, that doesn’t mean selling as-is is wrong. It just means it comes with trade-offs.

Before you choose the easy route, let’s look at all your options. I’ll show you what buyers are responding to right now in our market – and help you decide what makes the most sense for your situation.

President Trump just announced he’s moving to ban large corporations from buying single-family homes.

The Facts: ✅ Big investors own 3% of homes nationally. ✅ But in some cities, they own over 10%. ✅ We aren't seeing this in the Tri-Cities yet, but will a national ban help or hurt?

I’m curious—regardless of politics, is this a good move for the future or government overreach? Let’s talk below. 👇
