97 cash buyers are active in Chester County, and between them they hold about 2,384 properties. With about 10.7 purchases per buyer last year, the money here is concentrated in operators who buy continuously — worth identifying the top few before working the rest.
Investors here buy at a median of $3,300,000. The average of $12,057,000 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.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 100.0% of tracked activity. Buy-and-hold capital prices for yield rather than resale margin, so rent support matters more to these buyers than after-repair comps.
