\u0410\u0422\u0422\u041e\u041c<\/strong> data shows that home flipping activity declined in early 2026 even as investor profits edged higher, signaling a modest rebound in returns after a prolonged downturn.<\/p>\n

A total of 64,348 single-family homes and condominiums were \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0432\u0435\u0440\u043d\u0443\u043b\u0441\u044f<\/a> in the first quarter of 2026, representing 8% of all home sales from January through March, according to \u0410\u0422\u0422\u041e\u041c<\/a>\u2019s Q1 2026 U.S. Home Flipping Report, released Thursday.<\/p>\n

That share rose from 7.2% in the prior quarter but was down from 8.2% during the same period last year. The number of flips also fell from 69,711 in Q4 2025 and 70,579 in Q1 2025.<\/p>\n

Profitability improved slightly, with typical gross returns rising to 25.4%, up from 24.7% in the fourth quarter, which marked the first quarterly gain in nearly two years. Even so, margins remained below year-ago levels, when flipped homes generated a typical return of 29.6%.<\/p>\n

Gross profits increased to $66,000, up from $64,300 in the prior quarter, but they also trailed the $74,172 figure recorded in the first quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first increase in flipping returns in nearly two years is a welcome sign for investors,\u201d ATTOM CEO \u0420\u043e\u0431 \u0411\u0430\u0440\u0431\u0435\u0440<\/a> said in a statement. \u201cThe market remains far more competitive than it was during the peak profit years, but this quarter\u2019s gains suggest that conditions may be stabilizing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flipping activity rose on a quarterly basis in 77% of the 174 metro areas analyzed, although it declined year over year in 56.3% of markets. The highest flipping rates were in Columbus, Georgia; \u0410\u0442\u043b\u0430\u043d\u0442\u0430<\/a>; Canton, Ohio; York, Pennsylvania; and Spartanburg, South Carolina.<\/p>\n

Among large metros, \u0414\u0430\u043b\u043b\u0430\u0441<\/a>; Kansas City; and Memphis, Tennessee, posted some of the highest flipping rates, while \u0421\u0438\u044d\u0442\u043b<\/a>; Tulsa, Oklahoma; and Honolulu had some of the lowest.<\/p>\n

Cash purchases accounted for 61.1% of flipped homes, down slightly from the prior quarter but higher than a year earlier. Flips took a median of 165 days to complete, up modestly from both prior periods. Buyers who utilized Federal<\/strong> Housing Administration<\/strong> (\u0424\u0410\u0421<\/a>) financing made up 10.2% of flipped-home purchases, down from a year earlier.<\/p>\n

Margins varied widely by price tier, with homes purchased between $100,000 and $200,000 producing the strongest typical returns at 32%, while properties bought for less than $50,000 posted a 14% loss.<\/p>\n

Industry participants cautioned that rising gross margins do not necessarily translate into stronger net returns. Sean Faries, CEO of Land Gorilla<\/strong>, said the headline figures mask meaningful cost pressures.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d be cautious reading this as flippers suddenly making more money,\u201d he said in a statement. \u201cWhat the data really shows is a more selective market, where the deals that don\u2019t pencil are getting screened out and the operators still active are buying better. That\u2019s discipline, not a rebound.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe headline here is a gross margin, not a profit. It\u2019s the spread between what an investor paid and what they sold for, before rehab, financing, carrying costs, and the cost to sell,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Megan Castleton, chief credit officer at Constructive Capital<\/strong>, said the current environment is forcing a more disciplined approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lesson for \u0431\u0440\u043e\u043a\u0435\u0440\u044b<\/a> is simple: stop selling \u2018flip activity\u2019 and start selling \u2018flip viability.\u2019 In this market, the difference between a fundable opportunity and a bad trade can be just a few points of margin,\u201d Castleton said. <\/p>\n

\u00ab\u0410\u0433\u0435\u043d\u0442\u044b<\/a> are in a strong position to add value because today\u2019s flip market is less about buying cheap and more about buying right. \u2026 The market is rewarding discipline again.\u201d<\/p>\n
