At a macro level the owner is trading a higher price ($130K over appraisal) for favorable terms to you, the buyer (5% down and not having to quality through a bank). 

As they move up the net worth ladder investors tend to want less headaches and move into higher quality assets where ongoing cash flow is a little less but long term equity growth prospects are high.There is generally not demand for low income areas except for investor buyers searching for yield to deal with a headache versus ultra high quality areas where investors will usually pay  a premium to a seller to own in an area.
