What the 85281 numbers mean

Investors bought 108 properties here over 12 months, up roughly 44% from about 75 a year earlier. Rising volume usually means capital returning to the market rather than leaving it.

Investor-held stock here dates to a median of 1983. 48.4% of the stock is pre-1980 — budget for older wiring, plumbing and the paperwork that comes with it.

There are 92 buyers paying cash in 85281 today, against a standing position of about 238 properties. Fewer than 1.2 purchases per buyer over the past year means buying is thinly spread, so breadth of outreach matters more than any one contact.

Half of investor purchases here close below $1,400,000. Because the average runs to $4,004,000, this market has two populations: a broad base near the median and a thin band of much larger deals.

48.4% of tracked activity in 85281 is value-add / rehab. Buyers geared for renovation will look at stock that would not trade in a new-construction market.
