Cash-buyer and investment activity over the last 12 months.
Data last updated
In Garland, investors own about 1,497 tracked properties across 256 active buyers. 454 were acquired in the last 12 months.
Garland has 256 active cash buyers holding roughly 1,497 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged under 1.8 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 accelerating. Investors bought 454 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 260 the year before — up about 75%. Competition for contracts is rising, and buyers who were quiet a year ago are active again.
The dominant play is value-add / rehab, at 58.2% of tracked activity. That favors sellers bringing renovation projects: the capital in this market is set up to take on work, not to avoid it.
The median investor-owned home was built around 1976. About 58.2% predates 1980, so lead-paint disclosure, older systems and heavier rehab budgets are normal here.
Activity is not spread evenly. ZIP 75043, 75044 and 75040 are absorbing the most investor purchases in Garland, 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.
