Cash-buyer and investment activity over the last 12 months.
Data last updated
In Texas, investors own about 29,086 tracked properties across 2,705 active buyers. 6,146 were acquired in the last 12 months.
Texas has 2,705 active cash buyers holding roughly 29,086 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged under 2.3 purchases each, so the buyer pool is broad rather than concentrated: more names to work, with fewer deals riding on any single relationship.
Acquisition pace is steady. Investors bought 6,146 properties in the last 12 months, close to the 5,851 they bought the year before, so the buyer pool here has held its footing rather than swinging with the headlines.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 54.3% 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.
The median investor-owned home was built around 1986. Only about 34.7% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.
Activity is not spread evenly. ZIP Unknown, Unknown and 75216 are absorbing the most investor purchases in Texas, and they are the fastest place to start if you are building a buyer list from scratch before working outward through the rest of the state.
