Cash-buyer and investment activity over the last 12 months.
Data last updated
In Dayton (45420), investors own about 244 tracked properties across 73 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $90,000. 45 were acquired in the last 12 months.
The median investor purchase lands near $90,000. The gap between that median and the $1,906,000 average is the story here — a few outsized trades, with the real volume well underneath them.
The dominant play is value-add / rehab, at 99.1% of tracked activity. That favors sellers bringing renovation projects: the capital here is set up to take on work, not to avoid it.
Typical construction year on investor-owned property is 1929. About 99.1% predates 1980, so lead-paint disclosure, older systems and heavier rehab budgets are normal here.
There are 73 buyers paying cash in 45420 today, against a standing position of about 244 properties. Each averaged under 0.6 purchases over the last 12 months, so the pool is broad rather than concentrated: more names to work, with less riding on any single relationship.
Acquisition pace is cooling: 45 properties bought in the last 12 months against roughly 53 the year before, down about 15%. Fewer buyers are competing per deal, which usually means more room to negotiate but a longer search for the right one.
