Most capital here runs value-add / rehab — 89.6% of tracked activity. Rehab-oriented money rewards deals other buyers pass on, so condition matters less here than margin.

There are 63 buyers paying cash in 50315 today, against a standing position of about 396 properties. Each averaged under 1.2 purchases over the last 12 months, so the pool is broad rather than concentrated: more names to work, with less riding on any single relationship.
Acquisition pace is accelerating: 77 properties bought in the last 12 months against roughly 66 the year before, up about 17%. Competition for contracts is rising, and buyers who were quiet a year ago are active again.
Half of investor purchases here close below $100,000. Average and median nearly agree here ($116,000), which makes comps unusually reliable.
