Cash-buyer and investment activity over the last 12 months.
Data last updated
In Melissa, investors own about 1,822 tracked properties across 217 active buyers. 458 were acquired in the last 12 months.
Melissa has 217 active cash buyers holding roughly 1,822 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged under 2.1 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 cooling. Investors bought 458 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 506 the year before — down about 9%. 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 new construction, at 69.3% of tracked activity. Buyers here are absorbing newly built inventory, so wholesalers working tired or distressed stock are pitching against the grain of what most of this market's capital is currently doing.
The median investor-owned home was built around 2024. Only about 0.9% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.
Activity is not spread evenly. ZIP 75454 and 75409 are absorbing the most investor purchases in Melissa, 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.
