"Home flipping exploded during the Pandemic Housing Boom, as surging home prices and low interest rates lured investors into the fix-and-flip market. But the 2022 interest-rate shock abruptly ended the frenzy and created the biggest home-flipping pullback since the 2007 bust. This home-flipping slump continues to drive out many newcomer flippers and force veteran operators to adjust to slimmer profits."
"In March 2025, we published our first-ever LendingOne-ResiClub Fix and Flip Survey. Here, we're sharing the full results from the Q3 2025 survey, fielded from August 20 to September 15, 2025. In total, 216 home flippers took the survey. Topline Findings 1. Sentiment and Intent 56% of U.S. home flippers describe their primary market as somewhat strong (44%) or very strong (12%). Expectations for demand have softened: 28% of flippers now anticipate weaker demand over the next year, up from 21% in Q1 2025."
Home flipping surged from 72,995 flips in Q1 2020 to a peak of 125,810 in Q1 2022, then fell to 67,394 by Q1 2025 after mortgage rates spiked. A Q3 2025 LendingOne-ResiClub Fix and Flip Survey, fielded August 20–September 15, 2025, collected responses from 216 home flippers. Fifty-six percent describe their primary market as somewhat or very strong, while 28% expect weaker demand over the next year. Eighty-eight percent of seasoned flippers plan at least one project in the next 12 months and 64% plan to convert at least one project into a rental. Budgets vary regionally; Northeast projects are costliest, and 56% say kitchen upgrades deliver the best ROI.
