It’s been another interesting quarter for home flippers nationwide, with the numbers showing continued shifts in the investment landscape. Across the US, about 78,000 homes were flipped—roughly 6% of total home sales. That’s a dip from 8% in Q1 and 7% for the year, extending a two-year slowdown for investors. Typical gross profit landed around $61,000 with a low-20% margin, down from $67,000 and mid-20% in Q1, and $71,000 with a high-20% margin last year. While the economics have tightened, most flippers still managed to turn a profit. The sweet spot for margins was in the $100K–$200K purchase range, where typical returns reached about 28%. On the flip side, properties bought for less than $50K averaged a $15,000 loss—a negative 40% return—underscoring the risks of lower-end renovations. Projects took an average of 161 days to complete, and government-backed buyers made up 11% of flips, hinting at a gentle comeback for entry-level demand.
