What investors are doing in 43231

Buying has slowed in 43231 — 58 purchases over 12 months versus about 371 the year before, off roughly 84%. Less competition per contract, but also fewer buyers to place one with.

Investor ownership in 43231 runs to roughly 657 properties, spread across 42 active buyers. At under 1.4 deals per buyer in 12 months, no small group controls this market; expect to work a longer list for the same volume.

Typical deal size in 43231 sits around $105,000. An average of $270,000 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.

Most capital here runs new construction — 39.1% of tracked activity. Capital aimed at new builds wants clean product. A distressed-property pitch has to work harder here than the headline buyer count suggests.

The median investor-owned home was built around 1986. Just 36.6% was built before 1980, which keeps renovation scopes and disclosure burdens down.
