Big publicly traded landlords are fast becoming homebuilders, as the supply of homes for rent drops and demand surges.
"We're just not sure if the housing prices will really stay where they are currently. So we didn't want to buy at the peak and then have them go down in a couple of years," said Stephanie Murphy, who is 29.The number of rentals is now falling slightly, as some smaller landlords sell their homes at the top of this pricey market. But Singelyn expects to keep building homes for rent over the next few years based on the strengthening demand he said he's seeing.
Investment in single-family rentals – both buying older homes and building new ones – has grown dramatically. The sector saw investments of about $3 billion in 2020, according to John Burns Real Estate Consulting. In 2021, the figure surged to $30 billion. It's expected to reach $50 billion this year as larger institutional investors, homebuilders, and landlord rush into the market.
There were 11.6 million single-family rental households in 2006, at the last housing peak. That figure rose to 15.5 million in 2014 after the housing market crashed, according to John Burns Real Estate Consulting. "A shortage of single-family properties available for rent has plagued the market, pushing rents up at record-level rates," said Molly Boesel, principal economist at CoreLogic. She noted the the number of single-family rental properties listed early this year was well below pre-pandemic levels.
