Of the 80 million single family homes in the US, how many are sold each year? For your math to work (80,000 as 1%) it would have to be 8,000,000 or 10% of the overall supply.

I can actually answer for you - roughly 820,000 single family homes were sold in 2020.

So if BlackRock bought 80,000 homes then, that'd be about 10%.

You're conflating some figures -- 820k new homes were sold[1] -- along with roughly 5.6 million existing homes[2].

ah, you're right, it was 5 million existing single family, I was pulling from the census and misread. My mistake.
