Data last updated
In Jamestown (27282), investors own about 33 tracked properties across 12 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $122,000. 5 were acquired in the last 12 months.
Acquisition pace is cooling: 5 properties bought in the last 12 months against roughly 8 the year before, down about 38%. Fewer buyers are competing per deal, which usually means more room to negotiate but a longer search for the right one.
12 cash buyers are active in 27282, and between them they hold about 33 properties. Averaging below 0.4 purchases per buyer last year, this is a wide, shallow pool — a numbers game where reach beats depth.
Typical deal size in 27282 sits around $122,000. An average of $178,000 against that median means a handful of large purchases are skewing the mean. Use the median when you price, or you will aim high and lose the middle of the market.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 69.7% of tracked activity. Buy-and-hold capital prices for yield rather than resale margin, so rent support matters more to these buyers than after-repair comps.
The median investor-owned home was built around 1986. Only about 27.3% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.
