Rise of ‘accidental landlords’ having serious impact on America’s housing supply — what owners and renters need to know

Rise of ‘accidental landlords’ having serious impact on America’s housing supply — what owners and renters need to know

With mortgage rates staying high and home affordability becoming a challenge for many potential buyers, a new trend is emerging in some of the nation’s hottest housing markets. Accidental landlords are homeowners who initially tried to sell their homes but were unable to achieve their desired price, leading them to rent out their properties instead.

According to a recent report by Parcl Labs, worsening supply-demand conditions in the housing market are giving rise to accidental landlords. These homeowners are not entering the rental market by choice but out of necessity when they are unable to find buyers for their properties.

This phenomenon is most prevalent in cities like Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Tampa, and Charlotte, where institutional landlords have historically held large portfolios. These cities now see an increase in homeowners converting their unsold listings into rentals, leading to a surge in single-family rental inventory.

The surge in accidental landlords is part of a larger shift in the housing market, where high mortgage rates are discouraging homeowners from selling. Many owners who secured low interest rates during the pandemic are hesitant to sell and take on new loans at significantly higher rates, leading them to become landlords by default.

Accidental landlords can disrupt the rental market as they often price their units to cover costs rather than optimizing for maximum profit like institutional investors. This dynamic puts downward pressure on rents in neighborhoods where institutional investors have concentrated their portfolios, potentially leading to lower rental prices for tenants in the short term.

Investors may see limited profit margins in these markets as a result of increased competition from accidental landlords. As prices are expected to remain flat or decline in the coming year, institutional investors are building up cash reserves to potentially acquire properties from these accidental landlords in the future.

Overall, the rise of accidental landlords is reshaping the rental market in key cities, creating new competition dynamics between households and institutional investors. As the housing market continues to evolve, both accidental landlords and investors will need to adapt to changing conditions to navigate the shifting landscape successfully.
