The Next Real Estate Boom: Buy-To-Rent

-


The year of 2013 has been proven to be an eventful time for the real estate market, especially here in Tampa, Florida. So far this year, we have discussed: the impact of international investors on the recovery of the housing market, the significant presence of Millenials as first-time home buyers, the recent mortgage rate activity with predictions of what to expect, the low housing inventory levels, and the encouraging signs of home value increases. So what can we expect to see as the next big move in real estate?


The latest headline to grab the attention of the Tampa market came from a CNN Money article labeling Tampa, Florida at third place out of the top ten cities with highest percentage of all-cash home sales throughout the country. This is a positive sign of correction and stabilization returning to our real estate market. An astonishing 58% of all home sales in Tampa last month were settled in cash. This group of purchasers is made up of both international investors and individual buyers who have other plans than actually living in their new homes.

In a recent research report conducted by Morgan Stanley, the “buy-to-rent” market is predicted to be the next big boom in real estate, and could become a $100 billion industry in the next few years. With financial obstacles preventing homeownership for some, others are taking advantage of lower home prices to turn into buy-to-rent properties. Investors could easily expect their return on investment to reach over 10%.  

At SI Real Estate, we have anticipated this movement and have been working with loyal clients for years that have been actively reaping the financial benefits of buying-to-rent, especially as home prices are increasing. As the market continues to improve and stabilize, investors can decided whether it is the time to sell or continue renting. Our responsibility at SI Real Estate is to be there for you each step of the way in order to provide you with the most accurate and informative knowledge possessed by our team of real estate professionals.

As the flowers and trees start to blossom, there is another change in the air. With drops in foreclosure filings and a rise in the buying market, could Spring bring a new season for real estate? According to an article published by Housing Wire , Housing starts rise 7.2 % in March 2011. This is after a long decline of months. The data is collected from Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau , and the Department of Housing and Urban Development every month to compare to previous months and previous years.

  The 411 on Tampa’s Rental Market   Tampa’s real estate market is one of the hottest markets in the country. Sunny weather, lower taxes, and quality of life result in an influx of new residents every week, however, the Covid-19 Pandemic substantially increased that number.   According to Fox News Tampa Bay, “"Every day, a thousand people are moving to Florida, and out of that, about 115 move to Tampa every day. You have all these people moving from New York City, moving from DC, moving from Connecticut, moving from Chicago, they’re from expensive cities, even from California! To them, Florida prices are affordable. Whether they’re home buyers or renters, they’re moving here with a lot of money to spend, which is jacking up prices.”   The rental rates in Tampa Bay and surrounding areas have increased 20% from last year placing Tampa in the top 5 metros for highest rent increases. This increase is a result of an extremely sparse rental inventory. At the moment, Tampa’s a
