Typical deal size in 43223 sits around $69,000. An average of $586,000 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 trend is downward: 89 purchases against 111 the prior year, a decline of about 20%. Deals take longer to place here, and sellers who price for last year's market will sit.
Most capital here runs value-add / rehab — 84.5% of tracked activity. Rehab-oriented money rewards deals other buyers pass on, so condition matters less here than margin.
Investor-held stock here dates to a median of 1951. About 84.5% predates 1980, so lead-paint disclosure, older systems and heavier rehab budgets are normal here.
There are 113 buyers paying cash in 43223 today, against a standing position of about 733 properties. Averaging below 0.8 purchases per buyer last year, this is a wide, shallow pool — a numbers game where reach beats depth.
