Article Summary:
Investor purchases of condos have dropped to their lowest level in 10 years, with transactions falling 3% year-over-year in Q1 2025. Nearly 70% of condos sold below list price, marking the weakest performance in five years. Rising HOA fees, insurance costs, and rental restrictions—particularly in Florida—have made condos less attractive to investors. Many landlords are offloading units that no longer generate strong returns, while single-family homes remain the preferred investment choice.
