Cash-buyer and investment activity over the last 12 months.
Data last updated
In Denver, investors own about 51 tracked properties across 24 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $50,000. 24 were acquired in the last 12 months.
Denver has 24 active cash buyers holding roughly 51 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged under 1.0 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 accelerating. Investors bought 24 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 15 the year before — up about 60%. Competition for contracts is rising, and buyers who were quiet a year ago are active again.
The median investor purchase lands near $50,000. The average of $4,238,000 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 100.0% 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.
Activity is not spread evenly. ZIP 80231-2143, 80231-2129 and 80247-5208 are absorbing the most investor purchases in Denver, 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.
