Investor purchase activity, drawn from the last 12 months of records.
Data last updated
In Columbus (43123), investors own about 352 tracked properties across 43 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $140,000. 65 were acquired in the last 12 months.
The median investor purchase lands near $140,000. The gap between that median and the $475,000 average is the story here — a few outsized trades, with the real volume well underneath them.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 72.1% of tracked activity. Because these buyers underwrite to cash flow, a credible rent figure moves a deal further than a renovation estimate.
The median investor-owned home was built around 1987. At 27.3% pre-1980, this is comparatively new housing — lighter rehab, fewer legacy-systems surprises.
There are 43 buyers paying cash in 43123 today, against a standing position of about 352 properties. Fewer than 1.5 purchases per buyer over the past year means buying is thinly spread, so breadth of outreach matters more than any one contact.
The trend is upward: 65 purchases this year against 57 last, about 14% more. Expect contracts to move faster and price expectations to firm up.
