What the 97230 numbers mean

Across 97230, 29 active buyers account for approximately 69 investor-held properties. Each averaged under 0.9 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.

Buying in 97230 is flat year over year — 26 purchases against about 28 previously. A stable market like this rewards consistent outreach over timing.

Investors here buy at a median of $350,000. With an average of $330,000, pricing is consistent across deals — few outliers in either direction.

Strategy here skews to buy & hold, which accounts for 50.0% of tracked deals. Buy-and-hold capital prices for yield rather than resale margin, so rent support matters more to these buyers than after-repair comps.

Investor-held stock here dates to a median of 1980. About 48.2% predates 1980, so lead-paint disclosure, older systems and heavier rehab budgets are normal here.

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.
