A third owner in the data - name withheld - runs a company that bought a small block in 2024 on high leverage, just before rates and costs bit. Cash is tight, the refinance looks expensive, and one unit sits empty needing work. He is not formally distressed yet, but the margin is gone. Owners in his position are the ones who quietly take an early, certain offer.
A real owner from GalimAI's data. We withhold the name and exact address to protect privacy; the figures reflect the real thresholds behind the situation.

The data behind owners like him
| Signal | In the data | Why it points to a sale |
|---|---|---|
| Recent purchase | Bought in the last few years | 78,473 recent buyers are low on cash |
| High leverage | Thin equity, expensive refinance | Recent buyers are far more cash-stretched than long-term owners |
| Low cash | Little room to absorb a shock | A quick sale can be the practical exit |
How recently someone bought predicts distress better than how much they own. The recent, high-leverage buyer is a distinct off-market signal - and a large one, at 78,473 owners.
