Institutional investors bought 6.9% of homes sold in Arizona in the first quarter of 2025, an 11% decrease from one year earlier, according to real estate data firm ATTOM.
Why it matters: Investors, who often compete with first-time buyers, have pulled back from the U.S. housing market in recent years.
By the numbers: In the Phoenix metro area, institutional investors bought 7.5% of houses in the first quarter of 2025, compared with 8.2% in the same stretch last year.
