What the Colorado numbers mean

Colorado has 155 active cash buyers holding roughly 2,230 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged under 1.9 purchases each, so the buyer pool is broad rather than concentrated: more names to work, with fewer deals riding on any single relationship.

Acquisition pace is cooling. Investors bought 288 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 581 the year before — down about 50%. Fewer buyers are competing per deal, which usually means more room to negotiate but a longer search for the right one.

The median investor purchase lands near $1,319,000. The average of $7,677,000 sits well above that median, which means a tail of higher-priced deals is pulling the mean up — most activity is happening below the average, and pricing a deal off the median is the safer read.

The dominant play is buy & hold, at 48.2% 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.

The median investor-owned home was built around 2001. Only about 28.4% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.

Where does the Colorado data come from?

How often is the Colorado data updated?
This page is refreshed on a rolling basis as new records are recorded and processed, and it shows its own "Data last updated" date at the top of the snapshot. Counties differ in how quickly they publish recordings, so recent activity in a slower county can take longer to appear.
