In Columbus (43209), investors own about 594 tracked properties across 41 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $82,000. 274 were acquired in the last 12 months.
Investors bought 274 properties here over 12 months, up roughly 784% from about 31 a year earlier. Rising volume usually means capital returning to the market rather than leaving it.
Half of investor purchases here close below $82,000. Because the average runs to $403,000, this market has two populations: a broad base near the median and a thin band of much larger deals.
Strategy here skews to value-add / rehab, which accounts for 56.6% of tracked deals. That favors sellers bringing renovation projects: the capital here is set up to take on work, not to avoid it.
The median investor-owned home was built around 1964. About 56.6% predates 1980, so lead-paint disclosure, older systems and heavier rehab budgets are normal here.
41 cash buyers are active in 43209, and between them they hold about 594 properties. At roughly 6.7 purchases each over the past year, this is a concentrated pool: a handful of operators are doing the bulk of the buying, so relationships matter more than list size.
