Union County Investment Analysis

Union County is a mid-size market of 245K residents with median home values at $444,351. With a 3.6% cap rate, Union County is primarily an appreciation play. Investors here are betting on long-term value growth rather than immediate cash flow. A modest 0.3% year-over-year decline suggests the market is cooling — favorable for buyers negotiating from strength.
