Activity is not spread evenly. ZIPs 98443, 98371 and 98404 are absorbing the most investor purchases in Waller, and they are the fastest place to start a buyer list before working outward through the rest of the city.
There are 11 buyers paying cash in Waller today, against a standing position of about 23 properties. At under 0.4 deals per buyer in 12 months, no small group controls this market; expect to work a longer list for the same volume.
Typical deal size in Waller sits around $247,000. An average of $353,000 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.
Most capital here runs value-add / rehab — 70.6% of tracked activity. Buyers geared for renovation will look at stock that would not trade in a new-construction market.
