Remember all the headlines about investors buying up homes? They didn’t tell the whole story. Investors were never buying a huge share – and now, many of the large ones are actually selling more than they’re buying.

Why? Slower price growth and higher rental costs mean the quick profits they were chasing just aren’t there.

But that’s not why you’re buying. You’re looking for stability, a place to call your own, and long-term value.

Let’s talk about what’s available and what you’re looking for.
