What investors are doing in 97205

Acquisition pace is accelerating: 195 properties bought in the last 12 months against roughly 15 the year before, up about 1200%. Competition for contracts is rising, and buyers who were quiet a year ago are active again.

Across 97205, 27 active buyers account for approximately 216 investor-held properties. With about 7.2 purchases per buyer last year, the money here is concentrated in operators who buy continuously — worth identifying the top few before working the rest.

Half of investor purchases here close below $700,000. Average and median nearly agree here ($702,000), which makes comps unusually reliable.

The dominant play is new construction, at 87.3% of tracked activity. Capital aimed at new builds wants clean product. A distressed-property pitch has to work harder here than the headline buyer count suggests.

Investor-held stock here dates to a median of 2024. Only about 2.8% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.

All figures above reflect recorded transactions in this ZIP code and update as records are processed. Past activity only — nothing here is a forecast or investment advice.
