According to ATTOM’s Q1 2025 U.S. Home Flipping Report, 67,394 single family homes and condominiums were flipped in the first quarter of 2025, accounting for 8.3% of all home sales from January through March. The report says the overall buying slowdown appears to be affecting home flippers – seeing their lowest quarterly number since 2018. In addition, they point out that returns have also been falling, with the typical flipped home netting a 25% ROI (before expenses) in Q1 of 2025. That was down from 28% in Q4 2024.
“The competitive home market means high prices, which is good for short-term investors on the selling end…But that dynamic is also making it harder to find under-priced homes to buy up and it’s ultimately squeezing profit margins for the industry….It’s tricky to balance at times when the market looks like it could take a downturn…Investors don’t want to buy a property when prices are high and then see them drop before they’re ready to sell.” Said said Rob Barber, CEO of ATTOM.
