Top1031.com DST Census Finds the Median Minimum Investment Has Quadrupled to $100,000 Since 2020
A Top1031 census announcement carried by Inter Press Service reports that the median minimum commitment for newly offered DSTs rose from $25,000 through 2020 to $100,000 in 2025 and 2026. It also puts the median 2026 offering size at $37.7 million.
The release describes a study of SEC filings identifying 1,749 offerings since January 2009 and approximately $39.7 billion sold. It says larger offerings account for a growing share of capital raised. These are the census publisher's reported findings and describe the studied filings rather than every possible DST investment.
