US investment ban could push private equity toward Britain’s housing boom

Trump’s move to curb US institutional purchases of single-family homes could redirect capital into the UK’s new-build housing market, potentially boosting build-to-rent activity while drawing tenant groups’ scrutiny over rents. Analysts say a US ban might advantage UK investments, but the UK market already features institutional players, including Blackstone-backed ventures; policymakers and tenant groups are pushing for public housing and rent controls to counter affordability concerns.

Wall Street Capitalizes on Rental Boom as Homeownership Declines

Institutional investors and private equity firms are increasingly investing in the build-to-rent market, where developers create neighborhoods of single-family homes for leasing rather than selling. This trend is driven by millennials, who are often priced out of buying homes in desirable areas and are opting to rent upscale homes instead. From 2021 to 2023, build-to-rent housing starts have doubled, reflecting a shift in housing preferences as renting becomes a more affordable long-term option for many.

"Build-to-Rent Communities Surge Nationwide Amid High Home Prices and Interest Rates"

Build-to-rent communities are growing as more Americans find homeownership unaffordable, with 97,000 such homes completed in 2023, a 45% increase from the previous year. These communities, which make up 7.9% of single-family housing starts, offer upgraded amenities and serve as a stopgap for those unable to buy homes. While some view this trend as a solution to the housing shortage, others worry it replaces entry-level homes with rentals. High interest rates may slow new build-to-rent projects in the coming years.

Institutional Buyers: Temporary Sideline Stint in Housing Market

Institutional buyers in the housing market have temporarily paused their purchasing activity due to spiked interest rates and a lack of homes for sale. However, signs of another surge are emerging, with companies like MetLife Single Family Rental Fund and J.P. Morgan Asset Management securing significant capital for investment. The differences between the single-family rental space and the build-to-rent space include cheaper debt and the ability to create supply in the latter. Opportunities in the next five years include investing through local operators and the growth of the home equity investment space. Institutional buyers are often criticized for driving up home prices, but they fill a need by providing well-maintained rental homes and make up only a small portion of the rental housing stock. The housing finance system is broken, and private investors are crucial for providing housing in the country.
