Inside the Chapel Hill numbers

Acquisition pace is cooling: 2 properties bought in the last 12 months against roughly 14 the year before, down about 86%. Fewer buyers are competing per deal, which usually means more room to negotiate but a longer search for the right one.

Most capital here runs buy & hold — 100.0% of tracked activity. Because these buyers underwrite to cash flow, a credible rent figure moves a deal further than a renovation estimate.

Activity is not spread evenly. ZIP 27517 absorbs the most investor purchases in Chapel Hill, and it is the fastest place to start a buyer list.

Chapel Hill has 4 active cash buyers holding roughly 17 properties. Each averaged under 0.5 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.

Investors here buy at a median of $438,000. With an average of $375,000, pricing is consistent across deals — few outliers in either direction.
