What the 28226 numbers mean

28226 has 7 active cash buyers holding roughly 205 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged under 0.4 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 3 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 68 the year before — down about 96%. 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 $1,975,000. The average of $2,096,000 is close behind it, so purchases cluster in a fairly tight band rather than splitting into distinct price tiers.

The dominant play is new construction, at 55.6% of tracked activity. Buyers here are absorbing newly built inventory, so wholesalers working tired or distressed stock are pitching against the grain of what most of this market's capital is currently doing.

The median investor-owned home was built around 2024. Only about 11.1% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.
