Seattle‑based startup Arrived is unveiling a new trading platform designed to turn rental homes into liquid investments for investors of all sizes. According to CNBC, the company’s marketplace enables users to swap fractional shares in individual rental properties—some starting at just $100—rather than waiting years for traditional property exits.
Established in 2021, Arrived initially allowed both accredited and non‑accredited investors to purchase small slices of rental homes across the U.S. Each home is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and structured as its own real‑estate investment trust (REIT), giving transparency and legal clarity to the ownership structure. CNBC reports that the firm has grown to roughly 500 properties in about 65 cities, with more than 850,000 investors and around $330 million invested so far.
The newly launched secondary marketplace adds liquidity to what has traditionally been a highly illiquid asset class. Investors can now list shares, set limit orders, and execute trades when matching buyers and sellers emerge—essentially allowing rental‑home shares to trade more like stocks. Arrived says that many of its properties carry little or no debt; for those that do, the average mortgage rate is below 4 percent, helping buffer investors against today’s elevated financing costs.
Arrived notes that the timing is critical: with high mortgage rates and steep home‑purchase prices sidelining many buyers, its model offers exposure to rental‑housing appreciation and rental‑income cash flow without the responsibilities of being a landlord. As CNBC puts it, the company is trying to build “a stock market for real estate.”
However, the platform is still early. While the secondary trading windows happen quarterly rather than continuously, the launch of this marketplace signals a shift in how smaller investors may access and exit real‑estate investments. For now, users will be watching closely to see whether liquidity and returns live up to the promise.
