Data last updated
In Columbus (43230), investors own about 1,228 tracked properties across 30 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $98,000. 26 were acquired in the last 12 months.
Buying has slowed in 43230 — 26 purchases over 12 months versus about 915 the year before, off roughly 97%. Less competition per contract, but also fewer buyers to place one with.
Half of investor purchases here close below $98,000. Average and median nearly agree here ($109,000), which makes comps unusually reliable.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 92.6% 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 2007. At 7.4% pre-1980, this is comparatively new housing — lighter rehab, fewer legacy-systems surprises.
30 cash buyers are active in 43230, and between them they hold about 1,228 properties. Averaging below 0.9 purchases per buyer last year, this is a wide, shallow pool — a numbers game where reach beats depth.
