The trend is downward: 0 purchases against 1 the prior year, a decline of about 100%. Deals take longer to place here, and sellers who price for last year's market will sit.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 60.0% 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 1989. About 40.0% predates 1980, so lead-paint disclosure, older systems and heavier rehab budgets are normal here.
Across 98422, 3 active buyers account for approximately 9 investor-held properties.
Typical deal size in 98422 sits around $240,000. An average of $326,000 against that median means a handful of large purchases are skewing the mean. Use the median when you price, or you will aim high and lose the middle of the market.
