Cash-buyer and investment activity over the last 12 months.
Data last updated
In Temple, investors own about 7,227 tracked properties across 154 active buyers. 586 were acquired in the last 12 months.
Temple has 154 active cash buyers holding roughly 7,227 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged about 3.8 purchases each, which points to a market worked by repeat, high-volume operators rather than one-off purchasers — expect a smaller set of names to account for most of the deal flow.
Acquisition pace is cooling. Investors bought 586 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 1,884 the year before — down about 69%. Fewer buyers are competing per deal, which usually means more room to negotiate but a longer search for the right one.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 51.7% 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 1994. Only about 36.0% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.
Activity is not spread evenly. ZIP 76502, 76504 and 76501 are absorbing the most investor purchases in Temple, 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 city.
