Cash-buyer and investment activity over the last 12 months.
Data last updated
In St Paul, investors own about 62 tracked properties across 19 active buyers. 15 were acquired in the last 12 months.
St Paul has 19 active cash buyers holding roughly 62 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged under 0.8 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 15 properties in the last 12 months, close to the 16 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 82.0% 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.
The median investor-owned home was built around 2018. Only about 2.6% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.
Activity is not spread evenly. ZIP 75098 is absorbing the most investor purchases in St Paul, and it is the fastest place to start if you are building a buyer list from scratch.
