Cash-buyer and investment activity over the last 12 months.
Data last updated
In Lake Villa, investors own about 66 tracked properties across 21 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $152,000. 8 were acquired in the last 12 months.
Lake Villa has 21 active cash buyers holding roughly 66 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged under 0.4 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 8 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 35 the year before — down about 77%. 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 $152,000. The average of $144,000 is close behind it, so purchases cluster in a fairly tight band rather than splitting into distinct price tiers.
The dominant play is value-add / rehab, at 60.0% of tracked activity. That favors sellers bringing renovation projects: the capital in this market is set up to take on work, not to avoid it.
The median investor-owned home was built around 1960. About 60.0% predates 1980, so lead-paint disclosure, older systems and heavier rehab budgets are normal here.
Activity is not spread evenly. ZIP 60046 is absorbing the most investor purchases in Lake Villa, and it is the fastest place to start if you are building a buyer list from scratch.
