Data last updated
In Columbus (43205), investors own about 478 tracked properties across 63 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $52,000. 32 were acquired in the last 12 months.
Volume fell to 32 investor purchases over the last 12 months from about 79, down some 59%. Negotiating leverage has shifted toward whoever is still buying.
Investors here buy at a median of $52,000. The average of $260,000 sits well above it, so a tail of higher-priced deals is pulling the mean up — most activity happens below the average, and pricing off the median is the safer read.
82.4% of tracked activity in 43205 is value-add / rehab. Rehab-oriented money rewards deals other buyers pass on, so condition matters less here than margin.
The median investor-owned home was built around 1916. About 82.4% predates 1980, so lead-paint disclosure, older systems and heavier rehab budgets are normal here.
Across 43205, 63 active buyers account for approximately 478 investor-held properties. Fewer than 0.5 purchases per buyer over the past year means buying is thinly spread, so breadth of outreach matters more than any one contact.
