Columbia Investment Analysis

Columbia is a smaller market (674 residents) with median values at $160,106. The 2.8% cap rate positions Columbia as a premium appreciation market where equity growth drives returns. A modest 3.3% year-over-year decline suggests the market is cooling — favorable for buyers negotiating from strength. With 59% of the population renting at a median of $573/month, Columbia has exceptionally strong rental demand — a key indicator for DSCR loan qualification.
