ATTOM’s Year-End 2021 US Home Flipping Report indicated that 323,465 single-family homes and condos were flipped during 2021.
These 323,465 home flips represent an increase of +26% y/y to the highest level of flipped homes since 2006. These home flips represented 5.5% of all home sales during 2021, down from 5.8% in 2020 and down from 6.1% in 2019.
As Quick Flipped Home Sales Increased, Gross Margins Declined
Flipped homes during 2021 generated a gross profit of $65,000 (the difference of the median sales price and the median amount paid by investors). This $65,000 gross margin translated into a 31% return on investment (ROI), the lowest gross margin since 2008. $65,000 also represented the steepest drop in ROI since at least 2005.
“While gross profits were lower for fix-and-flip investors in 2021, there may have been offsets that protected net profits,” said Rick Sharga, ATTOM’s now executive vice president of market intelligence. “Fewer flippers financed their purchases, so their cost of capital was lower. It took less time to execute a flip, reducing holding costs, and suggesting that less extensive – and less expensive – repairs were needed to bring the properties to market.”
