Cash-buyer and investment activity over the last 12 months.
Data last updated
In The Colony, investors own about 539 tracked properties across 136 active buyers. 219 were acquired in the last 12 months.
The Colony has 136 active cash buyers holding roughly 539 properties. Over the last 12 months they averaged under 1.6 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 219 properties in the last 12 months against roughly 82 the year before — up about 167%. Competition for contracts is rising, and buyers who were quiet a year ago are active again.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 69.4% 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 1985. Only about 27.1% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.
Activity is not spread evenly. ZIP 75056, 75036 and 75056-3449 are absorbing the most investor purchases in The Colony, 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.
