What the 28173 numbers mean

28173 has 6 active cash buyers holding roughly 308 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged under 1.5 purchases each, so the buyer pool is broad rather than concentrated: more names to work, with fewer deals riding on any single relationship.

Acquisition pace is cooling. Investors bought 9 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 45 the year before — down about 80%. Fewer buyers are competing per deal, which usually means more room to negotiate but a longer search for the right one.

The median investor purchase lands near $273,000. The average of $271,000 is close behind it, so purchases cluster in a fairly tight band rather than splitting into distinct price tiers.

The dominant play is buy & hold, at 41.2% 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 1992. Only about 34.6% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.
