NEW YORK CITY—Institutional investment in the fledgling single-family rental market continues to grow and is now valued at more than $33 billion.

A report on the single-family rental home market released on Monday by Amherst Capital Management LLC indicates that institutional ownership of single-family rental homes surpassed 200,000 units in 2016. Institutional investment reached a record $33.279 billion at the end of last year.

Amherst Capital, a BNY Mellon investment boutique firm, says the single-family rental market has grown significantly in a very short time. “$33 billion in holdings is a big leap for an asset class that had little institutional involvement until six to seven years ago,” the firm states in its report.
