Cash-buyer and investment activity over the last 12 months.
Data last updated
In Portland (97239), investors own about 125 tracked properties across 59 active buyers, with a median investor purchase price near $1,160,000. 74 were acquired in the last 12 months.
Acquisition pace is accelerating: 74 properties bought in the last 12 months against roughly 32 the year before, up about 131%. Competition for contracts is rising, and buyers who were quiet a year ago are active again.
The median investor purchase lands near $1,160,000. An average of $1,300,000 that close to the median means one price band describes nearly the whole market.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 72.0% of tracked activity. Hold strategies mean patient money: slower decisions, but the rent roll carries more weight than the flip math.
Typical construction year on investor-owned property is 2006. Only about 28.0% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.
97239 has 59 active cash buyers holding roughly 125 properties. Fewer than 1.3 purchases per buyer over the past year means buying is thinly spread, so breadth of outreach matters more than any one contact.
