Inside the 97202 numbers

Acquisition pace is cooling: 44 properties bought in the last 12 months against roughly 59 the year before, down about 25%. Fewer buyers are competing per deal, which usually means more room to negotiate but a longer search for the right one.

Typical construction year on investor-owned property is 1968. With 61.0% built before 1980, expect pre-1978 disclosure obligations and aging mechanicals on most of what trades.

Across 97202, 56 active buyers account for approximately 169 investor-held properties. Each averaged under 0.8 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.

The median investor purchase lands near $525,000. The gap between that median and the $2,367,000 average is the story here — a few outsized trades, with the real volume well underneath them.

Most capital here runs value-add / rehab — 61.0% of tracked activity. Rehab-oriented money rewards deals other buyers pass on, so condition matters less here than margin.
