The median investor purchase lands near $160,000. The gap between that median and the $2,160,000 average is the story here — a few outsized trades, with the real volume well underneath them.
The median investor-owned home was built around 1955. 96.3% of the stock is pre-1980 — budget for older wiring, plumbing and the paperwork that comes with it.
Buying concentrates geographically: 45429, 45420 and 45440 take the largest share of investor purchases in Kettering, which makes them the obvious first targets before working outward through the rest of the city.
