Investors here buy at a median of $635,000. The average of $944,000 sits well above it, so a tail of higher-priced deals is pulling the mean up — most activity happens below the average, and pricing off the median is the safer read.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 77.9% of tracked activity. Buy-and-hold capital prices for yield rather than resale margin, so rent support matters more to these buyers than after-repair comps.
