Seeing a trend with houses that go for sale in my neighbourhood. They go for sale for less than 1 week and then the sign comes down, then a week later a sign comes up putting it up for lease. This has happened multiple times over and over, can’t be coincidence

So, I'm a little confused – my first thought is that someone is buying them up fast and the turning around and rentinf them out?

But whenever I bought a house it took over a month to close and get all the paperwork done, so it surely can't be that people are selling to property tycoons who are renting, surely?

I thought maybe the people selling changed their minds and flip flopped from selling to renting, but each time it's a different realtor sign leasing than the one that was selling a few weeks before.

Its just a little concerning as I've went from a neighbourhood full of neighbours I know, to over the past 10 years I think only 3 of us in the entire street are owners now. The rest lease.

And this pattern keeps happening.
