Investors here buy at a median of $154,000. The average of $218,000 sits well above it, so a tail of higher-priced deals is pulling the mean up — most activity happens below the average, and pricing off the median is the safer read.
96.3% of tracked activity in 50322 is value-add / rehab. Buyers geared for renovation will look at stock that would not trade in a new-construction market.
Investor-held stock here dates to a median of 1956. About 96.3% predates 1980, so lead-paint disclosure, older systems and heavier rehab budgets are normal here.
50322 has 16 active cash buyers holding roughly 27 properties. Fewer than 0.3 purchases per buyer over the past year means buying is thinly spread, so breadth of outreach matters more than any one contact.
