Acquisition pace is accelerating: 589 properties bought in the last 12 months against roughly 106 the year before, up about 456%. Competition for contracts is rising, and buyers who were quiet a year ago are active again.
The dominant play is value-add / rehab, at 98.0% of tracked activity. Buyers geared for renovation will look at stock that would not trade in a new-construction market.
The median investor-owned home was built around 1967. With 98.0% built before 1980, expect pre-1978 disclosure obligations and aging mechanicals on most of what trades.
43224 has 86 active cash buyers holding roughly 1,340 properties. At roughly 6.8 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.
