Investor Sentiment Bounces Back— A Clear Sign for Savvy Investors
Investor Sentiment Bounces Back — A Clear Sign for Savvy Investors
The latest sentiment survey from CJ Patrick Company and RCN Capital shows real estate investor sentiment rebounding from a two‑year low in Q1 2025. Nearly 49 % of small and mid‑sized investors see improved market conditions year‑over‑year, and another 49 % are optimistic about the next six months.
Key drivers:
More inventory, longer median times on market (53 days), and widespread price reductions have swung power back into buyers’ hands.
Headwinds remain: labor shortages due to deportation policies, rising labor and insurance costs, with 74 % citing insurance availability/cost as a deal‑breaker, and 56 % missing out on at least one deal because of it.
And while optimism is still returning, 57 % still expect a recession before year‑end.
What This Means And Why It Matters
