Half of investor purchases here close below $731,000. Because the average runs to $3,085,000, this market has two populations: a broad base near the median and a thin band of much larger deals.
Matthews has 53 active cash buyers holding roughly 207 properties. At under 1.2 deals per buyer in 12 months, no small group controls this market; expect to work a longer list for the same volume.
Acquisition pace is cooling: 66 properties bought in the last 12 months against roughly 82 the year before, down about 20%. 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 — 73.6% of tracked activity. Because these buyers underwrite to cash flow, a credible rent figure moves a deal further than a renovation estimate.
Investor-held stock here dates to a median of 1992. Only about 24.1% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.
