Cash-buyer and investment activity over the last 12 months.
Data last updated
In Richardson, investors own about 468 tracked properties across 106 active buyers. 135 were acquired in the last 12 months.
Richardson has 106 active cash buyers holding roughly 468 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged under 1.3 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 cooling. Investors bought 135 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 156 the year before — down about 13%. 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 value-add / rehab, at 91.9% 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 1962. About 91.9% predates 1980, so lead-paint disclosure, older systems and heavier rehab budgets are normal here.
Activity is not spread evenly. ZIP 75080, Unknown and 75081 are absorbing the most investor purchases in Richardson, 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.
