Reading the 97214 market

Buying has slowed in 97214 — 15 purchases over 12 months versus about 68 the year before, off roughly 78%. Less competition per contract, but also fewer buyers to place one with.

Most capital here runs value-add / rehab — 94.5% of tracked activity. Rehab-oriented money rewards deals other buyers pass on, so condition matters less here than margin.

The median investor-owned home was built around 1917. 94.5% of the stock is pre-1980 — budget for older wiring, plumbing and the paperwork that comes with it.

97214 has 31 active cash buyers holding roughly 104 properties. Fewer than 0.5 purchases per buyer over the past year means buying is thinly spread, so breadth of outreach matters more than any one contact.

Investors here buy at a median of $860,000. The average of $6,316,000 sits well above it, so a tail of higher-priced deals is pulling the mean up — most activity happens below the average, and pricing off the median is the safer read.
