Home Flipping Reaches Six-Year High

Attom Data Solutions (parent company of RealtyTrac) recently released their Q2 2016 U.S. Home Flipping Report, which shows over 51k U.S. single family home and condo sales were completed flips in the second quarter of 2016, up 14% from the previous quarter and up 3% from a year ago – representing the highest number of home flips since Q2 2010 (a six-year high).  Homes flipped in 2016’s 2nd quarter accounted for 5.5% of all single family and condo sale, down from 6.7% in the first quarter.

“We’re starting to see home flipping hit some milestones not seen since prior to the financial crisis, which is somewhat concerning, but there are a couple of important differences in the home flipping of 2016 compared to 2006 when home flipping peaked during the last housing boom…”  Said Daren Blomquist, senior vice president at ATTOM Data Solutions.
