Appreciate Expands its Geographic Offering by Launching Into Indianapolis Market

Leading Single Family Rental Marketplace and Management Platform Now Active Across 42 Markets Nationwide


MINNETONKA, Minn., Dec. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Appreciate Holdings, Inc. (“Appreciate” or “The Company”) (NASDAQ: SFR), the parent holding company of Renters Warehouse (“Renters Warehouse”), a leading end-to-end Single Family Rental (“SFR”) marketplace and management platform, today announced the Company’s expansion into the Indianapolis, Indiana market.

On the heels of the Company’s recent debut on the Nasdaq Stock Market, its entrance into the Indianapolis market underscores Appreciate’s forward momentum as a publicly-traded company. Appreciate’s decision to expand its business to Indianapolis is informed by nearly two decades of experience in the industry and comes as a deliberate move to provide clients investment opportunities in a marketplace with historically strong rent growth and a gross yield on SFR investments that is roughly 35% higher than the national average1. The market is also met with increasing interest from both retail and institutional investors, including one of Appreciate’s institutional partners, Pagaya Investments US LLC. Pagaya, a global technology company delivering artificial intelligence infrastructure for the financial ecosystem, is fundamental to Appreciates’ move into the territory.

“As we look toward 2023, the SFR space continues to provide both retail and institutional real estate investors with sizeable returns,” said Appreciate President, Kevin Ortner. “Appreciate’s expansion into Indianapolis is one of many strategic market entries our company has planned for the next year as we continue to grow our business on a national scale.”

As the leading publicly-traded end-to-end SFR marketplace and management platform in the country, Appreciate provides SFR investment opportunities to investors of all types who are seeking a simple, single solution to all of their real estate investing needs. From helping clients select a home to purchase, overseeing renovations and providing full-service property management services to then placing a tenant into client’s investment properties, Appreciate offers a real estate investing solution that is built to flourish even in times of economic downturn.
