44203 has 43 active cash buyers holding roughly 839 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged about 5.4 purchases each, which points to a market worked by repeat, high-volume operators rather than one-off purchasers — expect a smaller set of names to account for most of the deal flow.
Acquisition pace is accelerating. Investors bought 232 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 188 the year before — up about 23%. Competition for contracts is rising, and buyers who were quiet a year ago are active again.
The median investor purchase lands near $299,000. The average of $296,000 is close behind it, so purchases cluster in a fairly tight band rather than splitting into distinct price tiers.
The dominant play is new construction, at 44.6% of tracked activity. Buyers here are absorbing newly built inventory, so wholesalers working tired or distressed stock are pitching against the grain of what most of this market's capital is currently doing.
The median investor-owned home was built around 2022. Only about 10.9% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.
