The housing market may have cooled slightly, but according to a recent report by ATTOM, there's still good news for house flippers. Their data shows that flipping activity and profits have both increased in the first quarter of 2024.

Key Takeaways from the Report:

  • Flipping activity is up: House flipping now represents 8.7% of all home sales nationwide, the second straight quarterly increase.
  • Profits on the Rise: Gross profits on flips reached $72,375 nationally, up from $65,000 in Q4 2023.
  • Profit Margins Improve: The national average gross profit margin increased to 30.2%, up from 27.7% in Q4 2023.
    • Keep in mind, Attom Data calculates the gross flipping profit as the difference between the purchase price and the flipped price (not including rehab costs and other expenses incurred, so these values don't tell the complete story).

Profit Margin Trends

Challenges Remain:

While the overall trends are positive, the ATTOM report also highlights the challenges flippers still face. Profit margins remain below historical peaks, and carrying costs like renovations and property taxes can easily erode profits.

  • Profit Margins Still Below Peak:  Current margins are significantly lower than peaks seen in 2016 (56.3%) and 2020 (48.8%).
  • Carrying Costs Can Eat Away Profits:  Renovation expenses, mortgages, and property taxes can significantly impact profitability.
