Data last updated
In Columbus (43065), investors own about 142 tracked properties across 18 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $105,000. 7 were acquired in the last 12 months.
43065 has 18 active cash buyers holding roughly 142 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 accelerating. Investors bought 7 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 4 the year before — up about 75%. Competition for contracts is rising, and buyers who were quiet a year ago are active again.
The median investor purchase lands near $105,000. The average of $232,000 sits well above that median, which means a tail of higher-priced deals is pulling the mean up — most activity is happening below the average, and pricing a deal off the median is the safer read.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 82.3% 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 1984. Only about 17.7% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.
