Cotality says investors were 27% of single-family buys in Q2 2026, about 273,000 total, down about 40,000 from Q2 2025. Investors accounted for 27% of U.S. single-family home purchases from March through June 2026, down from 28% at the end of the first quarter, according to a Sept. 3 analysis from Cotality . The decline follows a typical seasonal pattern, as owner-occupant buyers become more active during the summer months [1].
