In Columbus (43206), investors own about 879 tracked properties across 94 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $70,000. 102 were acquired in the last 12 months.
Investors bought 102 properties here over 12 months, up roughly 26% from about 81 a year earlier. Rising volume usually means capital returning to the market rather than leaving it.
Strategy here skews to value-add / rehab, which accounts for 85.1% of tracked deals. That favors sellers bringing renovation projects: the capital here is set up to take on work, not to avoid it.
Typical construction year on investor-owned property is 1925. About 85.1% predates 1980, so lead-paint disclosure, older systems and heavier rehab budgets are normal here.
94 cash buyers are active in 43206, and between them they hold about 879 properties. Averaging below 1.1 purchases per buyer last year, this is a wide, shallow pool — a numbers game where reach beats depth.
Investors here buy at a median of $70,000. The average of $504,000 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.
