Data last updated
In Grove City (43123), investors own about 993 tracked properties across 69 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $172,000. 95 were acquired in the last 12 months.
43123 has 69 active cash buyers holding roughly 993 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged under 1.4 purchases each, so the buyer pool is broad rather than concentrated: more names to work, with fewer deals riding on any single relationship.
Acquisition pace is cooling. Investors bought 95 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 128 the year before — down about 26%. Fewer buyers are competing per deal, which usually means more room to negotiate but a longer search for the right one.
The median investor purchase lands near $172,000. The average of $1,718,000 sits well above that median, which means a tail of higher-priced deals is pulling the mean up — most activity is happening below the average, and pricing a deal off the median is the safer read.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 53.6% 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 1989. About 41.5% predates 1980, so lead-paint disclosure, older systems and heavier rehab budgets are normal here.
