What the Tarrant County numbers mean

Buying has picked up in Tarrant County. The last 12 months brought 8,279 investor purchases versus about 5,903 the year prior — an increase of roughly 40%, which means more bidders on the same contracts.

The dominant play is buy & hold, at 69.8% of tracked activity. Because these buyers underwrite to cash flow, a credible rent figure moves a deal further than a renovation estimate.

Investor-held stock here dates to a median of 1999. Only about 21.0% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.

Deal flow clusters in 76179, 76036 and 76108. Those ZIPs lead Tarrant County on investor purchases, so they repay attention first before working outward through the rest of the county.

There are 842 buyers paying cash in Tarrant County today, against a standing position of about 34,115 properties. Each averaged about 9.8 purchases over the last 12 months, which is the signature of a market worked by repeat, high-volume operators — expect a short list of names to account for most of the deal flow.

These numbers come from recorded purchases in this county, updated as new records land. They report what has already happened and are not a prediction or investment advice.
