Investors bought 81 properties here over 12 months, up roughly 189% from about 28 a year earlier. Rising volume usually means capital returning to the market rather than leaving it.
Investors here buy at a median of $485,000. The average of $2,471,000 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.
Strategy here skews to value-add / rehab, which accounts for 59.9% of tracked deals. Rehab-oriented money rewards deals other buyers pass on, so condition matters less here than margin.
The median investor-owned home was built around 1979. About 59.9% predates 1980, so lead-paint disclosure, older systems and heavier rehab budgets are normal here.
