ASPINWALL offers compelling opportunities for real estate investors seeking value in 2026. With a median listing price of $425,000 and Class A-A- (premium) designation, this municipality appeals to appreciation-focused investors seeking stable, high-value properties. Current market data shows an average cap rate of 3.8% at list price and projected flip ROI of 11.1% at list price for investment properties. Both metrics are computed against the seller's asking price - not against a negotiated Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO) - so they measure how aggressively listings are priced versus the 70% ARV - rehab benchmark. Investors currently have access to 10 single-family homes on the market.

Investment Highlights

11.1% Projected Flip ROI (at list price)

ASPINWALL vs Wider Market

How ASPINWALL compares on the metrics that matter to investors. Headline price, DOM, cap (at sale), ARV, and rent use the trailing 12-month sold cohort because most areas have only a handful of homes for sale at any moment. Projected flip ROI uses active listings at list price (most closings are not flips). Current inventory counts and U.S. Census demographics are listed separately. Sheriff sale starting bids are listed separately and are not mixed into market price baselines.
