Cash-buyer and investment activity over the last 12 months.
Data last updated
In Vandalia, investors own about 111 tracked properties across 39 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $185,000. 25 were acquired in the last 12 months.
The trend is upward: 25 purchases this year against 17 last, about 47% more. Expect contracts to move faster and price expectations to firm up.
Strategy here skews to value-add / rehab, which accounts for 73.2% of tracked deals. Rehab-oriented money rewards deals other buyers pass on, so condition matters less here than margin.
The median investor-owned home was built around 1965. About 73.2% predates 1980, so lead-paint disclosure, older systems and heavier rehab budgets are normal here.
Deal flow clusters in 45377 and 45414. Those ZIPs lead Vandalia on investor purchases, so they repay attention first before working outward through the rest of the city.
Across Vandalia, 39 active buyers account for approximately 111 investor-held properties. Averaging below 0.6 purchases per buyer last year, this is a wide, shallow pool — a numbers game where reach beats depth.
Typical deal size in Vandalia sits around $185,000. An average of $449,000 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.
