Despite a quiet few weeks with no viewings, the US property market has recently seen in surge in demand for single-family homes, particularly in suburbia. This plus the shortage of supply has also led to a rise in the number of new-build starts and permits.
Single-family homes are one of the best property investment options in the US, particularly for buy-to-let yields. Returns have dropped very slightly across the US in 2020 compared to 2019, but several areas continue to post figures well ahead of the national average. Baltimore and Atlanta metros are currently offering the highest while Florida counties provide returns in the region of 8 to 12%.
