The median investor purchase lands near $543,000. The gap between that median and the $1,221,000 average is the story here — a few outsized trades, with the real volume well underneath them.
At 36 purchases this year against 39 last, pace is essentially unchanged, which makes this market easier to forecast than most.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 61.8% 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 22.4% pre-1980, this is comparatively new housing — lighter rehab, fewer legacy-systems surprises.
There are 34 buyers paying cash in Brighton today, against a standing position of about 184 properties. Fewer than 1.1 purchases per buyer over the past year means buying is thinly spread, so breadth of outreach matters more than any one contact.
