📉
Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, 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.
🔻
Below peak — only 1% of 3.0Y high
1% of all-time peak
Only 3 funds hold HOUS today versus a peak of 215 funds at 2025 Q3 — just 1% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 98% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
174 fewer hedge funds hold HOUS compared to a year ago (-98% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 43% buying
3 buying4 selling
Last quarter: 4 funds reduced or exited vs 3 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 71 → 38 → 0 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌

■ 33% conviction (2yr+)
■ 0% medium
■ 67% new
Of the 3 current holders: 1 (33%) held >2 years, 0 held 1–2 years, and 2 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -17%, value -32%
Last quarter: funds added -17% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -32%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
22 → 71 → 38 → 0 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 71 → 38 → 0 → 3. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 67% veterans vs 33% newcomers
■ 67% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 33% new
Entry-cohort mix of 3 holders: 2 (67%) are 2+ year veterans, 0 entered 1–2 years ago, and 1 (33%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 0% AUM from top-100
0% from top-100 AUM funds
