📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their HOUS positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.

88% of all-time peak

🟠
More sellers than buyers — 46% buying
100 buying118 selling
Last quarter: 118 funds reduced or exited vs 100 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-37 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 26 → 21 → 70 → 33. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒

■ 62% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 19% new
114 out of 185 hedge funds have held HOUS for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +4%, value -99%
Last quarter: funds added +4% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -99%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
21 → 26 → 21 → 70 → 33 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 26 → 21 → 70 → 33. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 70% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 70% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 21% new
Of 190 current holders: 133 (70%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆
Elite ownership — 44% AUM from top-100 funds
44% from top-100 AUM funds
32 of 185 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 44% of total institutional value in HOUS. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.3/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
