Every month, we host at least one webinar for ResiClub PRO members. Tomorrow, we’re hosting a webinar that we’re opening up beyond just our paying members 👇

Today, we will hold a special webinar at 5:30 p.m. ET (2:30 p.m. PT)

During webinar today, I’ll ask Roofstock executive chairman & co-founder Gary Beasley for his take on Trump’s proposed institutional homebuying ‘ban’ and where he thinks institutional capital’s involvement in the housing and single-family rental markets goes from here.

Prior to founding Roofstock, Gary Beasley was the CEO of Waypoint Homes. Founded in 2009, Waypoint Homes was one of the early institutional housing investors that seized the opportunity presented by the 2008 housing market crash, acquiring distressed single-family properties at significantly reduced prices. In 2012, the Wall Street Journal reported that Waypoint Homes was the first institutional group to own over 1,000 single-family rentals. Betting that single-family rentals would attract the attention of more investors over time, Beasley left Waypoint (which was rolled up into Starwood and then later into institutional landlord giant Invitation Homes) to co-founded Roofstock in 2015 to help larger funds acquire and sell single-family rentals. In the years that followed, institutional capital believed the housing market had become undersupplied and began deploying more capital into build-to-rent.

Inventory Boomerang hits housing market as last year’s 10-year high in delistings turns into a relistings jump

In the second half of 2025, there was a notable jump in delistings, as some home sellers—particularly in the Sun Belt—who couldn’t get their desired price decided to pull their homes off the market. Indeed, U.S. delistings as a share of inventory ticked up to 5.5% in fall 2025—a decade-high reading for that time of year.

In December 2025, ResiClub noted to readers that: “Looking ahead, in markets seeing the biggest jumps in delistings right now, many of those listings will likely return to the resale market in spring 2026—or test out the rental market.”

Fast-forward to January 2026, and we are indeed seeing an upswing in relistings*, according to Compass chief economist Mike Simonsen’s analysis of Altos Research data.

Relistings as a share of single-family housing inventory for sale:

• January 24, 2025 —> 10.1%

• January 23, 2026 —> 11.0%

Total relistings:

• January 24, 2025 —> 64,410

• January 23, 2026 —> 76,426

What housing markets are most likely to see the biggest upswing in relistings over the coming months?

The answer, of course, is the markets that saw the most delistings last fall. Last fall, Midwestern markets—which, relatively speaking, remain on the tighter side—saw the fewest delistings. Meanwhile, weaker and softer housing markets in places like Texas and Florida saw the highest levels of delistings.

Why buyers should pay attention…

Rising relistings can create buying opportunities. A relisted home often signals that the property was previously marketed, failed to transact at the seller’s desired price, and is now returning with perhaps more realistic expectations. That dynamic can produce real seller fatigue, as months of showings, price cuts, and stalled negotiations reset pricing psychology and increase willingness to negotiate on price, concessions, repairs, or rate buydowns. Relistings also give buyers an information advantage by revealing prior list prices, time on market, and whether earlier deals fell apart, helping anchor offers to true market-clearing levels rather than aspirational pricing. Savvy buyers—and their agents—should always do their homework and confirm whether a property was listed in the prior year, how pricing evolved, and why it didn’t sell, as that context can materially strengthen negotiating leverage.

*A relisted property is a home that was previously listed for sale, taken off the market (expired, withdrawn, or canceled), and then later put back on the market.
