Data last updated
In Scottsdale (85255), investors own about 415 tracked properties across 80 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $1,055,000. 65 were acquired in the last 12 months.
The trend is downward: 65 purchases against 118 the prior year, a decline of about 45%. Deals take longer to place here, and sellers who price for last year's market will sit.
There are 80 buyers paying cash in 85255 today, against a standing position of about 415 properties. Each averaged under 0.8 purchases over the last 12 months, so the pool is broad rather than concentrated: more names to work, with less riding on any single relationship.
Investors here buy at a median of $1,055,000. The average of $1,376,000 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.
Most capital here runs buy & hold — 65.6% of tracked activity. Hold strategies mean patient money: slower decisions, but the rent roll carries more weight than the flip math.
Investor-held stock here dates to a median of 2001. At 1.3% pre-1980, this is comparatively new housing — lighter rehab, fewer legacy-systems surprises.
