What the 50322 numbers mean
The trend is upward: 18 purchases this year against 14 last, about 29% more. Expect contracts to move faster and price expectations to firm up.
The median investor purchase lands near $220,000. An average of $211,000 that close to the median means one price band describes nearly the whole market.
Most capital here runs value-add / rehab — 54.2% of tracked activity. Buyers geared for renovation will look at stock that would not trade in a new-construction market.
The median investor-owned home was built around 1978. 54.2% of the stock is pre-1980 — budget for older wiring, plumbing and the paperwork that comes with it.
Investor ownership in 50322 runs to roughly 72 properties, spread across 27 active buyers. Averaging below 0.7 purchases per buyer last year, this is a wide, shallow pool — a numbers game where reach beats depth.
These numbers come from recorded purchases in this ZIP code, updated as new records land. They report what has already happened and are not a prediction or investment advice.
