How 97217 actually trades
Half of investor purchases here close below $375,000. Because the average runs to $956,000, this market has two populations: a broad base near the median and a thin band of much larger deals.
Volume held at 47 investor purchases over 12 months, versus roughly 50 the year prior. Neither competition nor opportunity has shifted much.
47.9% of tracked activity in 97217 is value-add / rehab. Rehab-oriented money rewards deals other buyers pass on, so condition matters less here than margin.
Investor-held stock here dates to a median of 1999. With 47.9% built before 1980, expect pre-1978 disclosure obligations and aging mechanicals on most of what trades.
97217 has 50 active cash buyers holding roughly 139 properties. Averaging below 0.9 purchases per buyer last year, this is a wide, shallow pool — a numbers game where reach beats depth.
These numbers come from recorded purchases in this ZIP code, updated as new records land. They report what has already happened and are not a prediction or investment advice.
