Cash-buyer and investment activity over the last 12 months.
Data last updated
In Aurora, investors own about 2,312 tracked properties across 107 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $772,000. 362 were acquired in the last 12 months.
Aurora has 107 active cash buyers holding roughly 2,312 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged about 3.4 purchases each, which points to a market worked by repeat, high-volume operators rather than one-off purchasers — expect a smaller set of names to account for most of the deal flow.
Acquisition pace is cooling. Investors bought 362 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 474 the year before — down about 24%. 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 $772,000. The average of $18,342,000 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 58.2% 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 1985. Only about 24.2% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.
Activity is not spread evenly. ZIP 80018, 80016 and 80011-6924 are absorbing the most investor purchases in Aurora, and they are the fastest place to start if you are building a buyer list from scratch before working outward through the rest of the city.
