The property investment market is experiencing uncertainty. Q1 of 2026 has been the quietest period since the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the market. According to data from Redfin, the year-on-year change in sales between January and March was -6%. This slowdown is affecting both new and existing investors, who face barriers to entry and expansion due to limited access to capital.
