Typical deal size in 43221 sits around $111,000. An average of $544,000 against that median means a handful of large purchases are skewing the mean. Use the median when you price, or you will aim high and lose the middle of the market.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 61.2% of tracked activity. Because these buyers underwrite to cash flow, a credible rent figure moves a deal further than a renovation estimate.
