Half of investor purchases here close below $220,000. Average and median nearly agree here ($215,000), which makes comps unusually reliable.

The median investor-owned home was built around 1979. With 50.0% built before 1980, expect pre-1978 disclosure obligations and aging mechanicals on most of what trades.
