5. The problem with corporate investors buying homes is
Sun Jul 13, 2025, 11:57 PM

pushing the individual home buy out of the market because the corporate investors can outbid them. Part of the reason for home prices in California rising is because of corporate investors snatching up homes. This causes an affordable strain on existing homes because each home sold to a corporate investor who pay above market prices to get the house to increase the value of the homes nearby. The increased market value of the neighboring homes further distances the ability of a home buyer from being able to afford a home at a higher price.

It's a vicious cycle.
