Purchases for investment purposes appeared to be on the uptrend, according to the December 2014 REALTORS® Confidence Index Survey. Approximately 17 percent of REALTORS® reported that their last sale was for investment purposes (15 percent in November 2014; 21 percent in December 2013). Low interest rates, with the 30-year fixed mortgage rate now at below 4 percent, may have steered investors back into the market. Most investment buyers are in the ages 35-55 year-old bracket.
