43215 has 25 active cash buyers holding roughly 649 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged about 6.5 purchases each, which points to a market worked by repeat, high-volume operators rather than one-off purchasers — expect a smaller set of names to account for most of the deal flow.
Acquisition pace is cooling. Investors bought 163 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 315 the year before — down about 48%. Fewer buyers are competing per deal, which usually means more room to negotiate but a longer search for the right one.
The median investor purchase lands near $31,465,000. The average of $17,845,000 is close behind it, so purchases cluster in a fairly tight band rather than splitting into distinct price tiers.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 78.0% 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 2015. Only about 20.5% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.
