Home flipping sure isn’t the same as it used to be, but it’s also more popular than ever. See, there are more home flippers out there than almost ever before, according to research from CoreLogic, but today’s home flippers are holding onto properties for longer. Interestingly, home flippers are holding into homes for longer in part so that it can be considered owner-occupied and eligible for capital gains exceptions. Obviously, you can only occupy one home as your primary residence, but this trend is adding to the flipping scene. In the last quarter of last year, home flipping accounted for more than one-tenth of all home sales.

Another way the home flipping market has changed is that profitability has also risen. The researchers didn’t take into consideration capital expenses at all, but they say that the annualized return on sales are growing. Before the Great Recession, home flippers relied heavily on speculation and rising prices to get a return. Since then, home flippers have gotten better at finding houses at a discount because they were tied up in legal issues, financial problems or physically distressed. So, these days, it seems that instead of speculating, home flippers are more busy adding value to homes. That makes these investments more sustainable.
