44320 has 43 active cash buyers holding roughly 173 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 accelerating. Investors bought 60 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 22 the year before — up about 173%. Competition for contracts is rising, and buyers who were quiet a year ago are active again.
The median investor purchase lands near $242,000. The average of $244,000 is close behind it, so purchases cluster in a fairly tight band rather than splitting into distinct price tiers.
The dominant play is value-add / rehab, at 61.4% of tracked activity. That favors sellers bringing renovation projects: the capital in this market is set up to take on work, not to avoid it.
The median investor-owned home was built around 1951. About 61.4% predates 1980, so lead-paint disclosure, older systems and heavier rehab budgets are normal here.
