USA property market ripe for buy to let investors
Date:-19-Sep-2011
Rental yields are continuing to grow on the back of flat property prices and soaring rents, as tenant demand for homes in USA intensifies, suggesting that it is a good time for property investors to re-enter the USA property market.
Demand for rental accommodation has risen across the country, with U.S. Census figures revealing that demand for rental homes in USA has increased in over 500 cities.
Data from Hotpads.com reveals that average rents increased by 11.6% in 2010 to $1,320 (€950/£830) a month. Consequently, almost 35% of occupied homes were rented in 2010, up 33.8% from 2000.
Unsurprisingly, the findings of a survey by the National Association of Realtors found that investors are buying rental properties with the intention to hold onto the unit for around 10 years before selling, ensuring healthy long term returns.
Some of the yields on offer are incredibly lucrative, and with the owner-occupier market unlikely to change dramatically in the short to medium term, the returns for investors will be healthy for some time to come.
