Data last updated
In Durham, investors own about 2,236 tracked properties across 109 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $288,000. 1,111 were acquired in the last 12 months.
Acquisition pace is accelerating: 1,111 properties bought in the last 12 months against roughly 486 the year before, up about 129%. Competition for contracts is rising, and buyers who were quiet a year ago are active again.
Buying concentrates geographically: 27703, 27704 and 27705 take the largest share of investor purchases in Durham, which makes them the obvious first targets before working outward through the rest of the city.
Durham has 109 active cash buyers holding roughly 2,236 properties. With about 10.2 purchases per buyer last year, the money here is concentrated in operators who buy continuously — worth identifying the top few before working the rest.
Typical deal size in Durham sits around $288,000. The average of $349,000 is close behind, so purchases cluster in a fairly tight band rather than splitting into price tiers.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 100.0% of tracked activity. Because these buyers underwrite to cash flow, a credible rent figure moves a deal further than a renovation estimate.
