Cash-buyer and investment activity over the last 12 months.
Data last updated
In Dayton (45402), investors own about 241 tracked properties across 77 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $77,000. 89 were acquired in the last 12 months.
Acquisition pace is accelerating: 89 properties bought in the last 12 months against roughly 53 the year before, up about 68%. Competition for contracts is rising, and buyers who were quiet a year ago are active again.
Most capital here runs value-add / rehab — 91.4% 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 1924. 91.4% of the stock is pre-1980 — budget for older wiring, plumbing and the paperwork that comes with it.
77 cash buyers are active in 45402, and between them they hold about 241 properties. Fewer than 1.2 purchases per buyer over the past year means buying is thinly spread, so breadth of outreach matters more than any one contact.
Investors here buy at a median of $77,000. The average of $116,000 sits well above it, so a tail of higher-priced deals is pulling the mean up — most activity happens below the average, and pricing off the median is the safer read.
