Flipping Activity by Investors Drops for Second Straight Year, Down 32 Percent Over That Time;Investment Returns Inch Upward but Still Sit Near Low Point Over Past Decade;Almost Two-Thirds of Flipped Homes Purchased with Cash
IRVINE, Calif., March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ATTOM, a leading curator of land, property data, and real estate analytics, today released its year-end 2024 U.S. Home Flipping Report, which shows that 297,885 single-family homes and condos in the United States were flipped in 2024. That was down 7.7 percent from 322,782 in 2023 and 32.4 percent from a recent peak of nearly 441,000 reached in 2022.
The report further reveals that as the number of homes flipped by investors declined, so did flips as a portion of all home sales, from 8.1 percent in 2023 to 7.6 percent last year.
In one small potential bright spot for the home-flipping industry, profits and profit margins rose slightly in 2024 on typical buy-renovate-and-resell projects. But margins again remained at one of their low points over the past 10 years as investors continued struggling to take advantage of the nation’s housing market boom.
Gross profits on typical home flips in 2024 increased to $72,000 nationwide (the difference between the median sales price and the median amount originally paid by investors). That was up from $67,846 in 2023 and translated into a 29.6 percent return on investment compared to the original acquisition price.
The latest nationwide return on investment (before accounting for mortgage interest, property taxes, renovation expenses and other holding costs) was up from 28.6 percent in 2023 and from 29.4 percent in 2022. But it remained barely more than half of the 54.2 percent peak over the past decade in 2016.
Investors saw their profit margins tick upward as the median price of the homes they flipped increased slightly faster than the median price they had paid to purchase properties – 3 percent versus 2 percent.
“The home-flipping industry saw investors shy away even more in 2024 amid the extended period of languishing profits. But even as activity waned, there was at least a glimmer of hope that returns were starting to turn around,” said Rob Barber, CEO at ATTOM. “While home flippers still seemed to be having difficulty timing the market for big profits, their margins at least stopped going in the wrong direction.”
He added that “this year poses significant uncertainty for investors, what with a short supply of homes for sale, declining numbers of low-priced foreclosure properties, mixed economic forecasts and elevated mortgage rates. So, they will have to do some very smart buying and quick renovating to keep the profit rebound going.”
Despite the small gain in profits in 2024, home-flipping continued to stand out as a niche of the U.S. housing market that has seen its fortunes tumble even as the broader market has mostly boomed.
Home flipping rates drop in two-thirds of U.S., with biggest decreases in the South and West
Home flips as a portion of all home sales decreased from 2023 to 2024 in 145 of the 213 metropolitan statistical areas analyzed in the report (68 percent).
The largest year over year declines in flipping rates in metro areas with a population of 1 million or more were in Charlotte, NC (down 18.5 percent from last year); Jacksonville, FL (down 16.9 percent); New Orleans, LA (down 16.4 percent); Denver, CO (down 15 percent) and Miami, FL (down 13.6 percent).
Metro areas with a population of 200,000 or more and at least 100 home flips in 2024, where home flipping rates increased from 2023 to 2024, were led by Cedar Rapids, IA (up 49.6% from last year); Bellingham, WA (up 28.2%); Warner Robins, GA (up 26.8%); Merced, CA (up 24.5%); and Norwich–New London, CT (up 23.4%).

Home flips purchased with financing dip downward
Nationally, the percentage of flipped homes originally purchased by investors with financing decreased in 2024 to 36.8 percent, down from 37.8 percent in 2023 although still up from 35.6 percent in 2022.
Meanwhile, 63.2 percent of homes flipped in 2024 were originally bought with cash only, up from 62.2 percent in 2023 but down from 64.4 percent two years earlier.
Among metropolitan areas with a population of 1 million or more and sufficient data to analyze, those with the highest percentage of flipped homes in 2024 that had been purchased by investors with financing included San Diego, CA (59 percent); Seattle, WA (58.1 percent); Fresno, CA (50.6 percent); Providence, RI (49.9 percent) and San Francisco, CA (49.9 percent).
In that same group, the metro areas with the highest percentage of flips purchased with all cash included Buffalo, NY (81 percent); Cleveland, OH (77.4 percent); Detroit, MI (76.5 percent); Birmingham, AL (75.7 percent) and Pittsburgh, PA (73.8 percent).
Typical gross profits on home flips grow in nearly two-thirds of nation
Homes flipped in 2024 were sold for a median price nationwide of $315,000, generating a gross flipping profit of $72,000 above the median original purchase price paid by investors of $243,000. That national gross-profit figure was up from $67,846 in 2023 but still down slightly from $72,750 in 2022, which was the second-highest level this century.
Gross profits grew in 141, or 66 percent, of the 213 metro areas across the U.S. with sufficient data to analyze.
Among the 56 metro areas in the U.S. with a population of 1 million or more, those with the largest gross flipping profits on median-priced transactions in 2024 were San Jose, CA ($283,000 profit); San Francisco, CA ($218,000); New York, NY ($175,000); San Diego, CA ($175,000) and Washington, DC ($170,000).
The weakest gross flipping profits among metro areas with a population of at least 1 million in 2024 were in Austin, TX ($8,844 profit); San Antonio, TX ($17,832); Houston, TX ($20,846); Dallas, TX ($24,233) and Kansas City, MO ($39,709).
2024 Year End U.S. Home Flipping Gross Profits & Returns Chart
Home flipping returns up in roughly half of metro-area markets
The profit margin on the typical home flips around the U.S. last year rose to 29.6 percent but still stood at the third-lowest level since 2008. The ROI on median-priced home flips nationwide has dropped 16 percentage points since 2020 and is off by 25 points since the highwater mark over the past decade hit in 2016.
Margins increased last year as the median nationwide resale price on flipped homes went up 3.3 percent, from $305,000 in 2023 to $315,000 in 2024. That represented a slightly larger increase than the 2.5 percent rise in the price investors had originally paid for properties they flipped ($237,154 for homes flipped in 2023 versus $243,000 in 2024).
The typical home-flipping investment return improved from 2023 to 2024 in 116, or 54 percent, of the metro areas analyzed.
Among metro areas with a population of 1 million or more, the biggest percentage-point increases in profit margins on median-priced flips during 2024 were in Cleveland, OH (ROI up from 39.2 percent in 2023 to 72 percent in 2024); Buffalo, NY (up from 83.9 percent to 109.1 percent); Rochester, NY (up from 60.2 percent to 71.5 percent); St. Louis, MO (up from 34 percent to 45.1 percent) and Memphis, TN (up from a 58.2 percent profit to 66.7 percent).
In that same group of markets with populations of at least 1 million, the largest decreases in returns on investment for typical home flips came in Philadelphia, PA (ROI down from 82.4 percent in 2023 to 68.4 percent in 2024); Hartford, CT (down from 59 percent to 45.7 percent); Pittsburgh, PA (down from 123.7 percent to 110.9 percent); Richmond, VA (down from 81.7 percent to 69.7 percent) and Detroit, MI (down from 66.7 percent to 59.2 percent).
Among metro areas with a population of at least 1 million, the biggest gross profit margins in 2024 were in Pittsburgh, PA (110.9 percent profit); Buffalo, NY (109.1 percent); Baltimore, MD (76.3 percent); Cleveland, OH (72 percent) and Rochester, NY (71.5 percent).
Average time to flip nationwide decreases
Home flippers who sold homes in 2024 took an average of 162 days, or about 5 ½ months, to complete the flips. That was down from 169 days for homes flipped in 2023 and 165 days in 2022.
2024 Year End U.S. Average Flip Days Chart
Portion of flipped homes sold to FHA remains about the same
Of the 297,885 U.S. homes flipped in 2024, 10.7 percent, or one of every nine, were sold to buyers using a loan backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). That was virtually the same as the 10.8 percent level in 2023 but up from 8.4 percent in 2022.
Among the 213 metro areas with a population of at least 200,000 and at least 100 home flips in 2024, those with the highest percentage of flipped homes sold in 2024 to FHA buyers — typically first-time home purchasers — were Merced, CA (38.3 percent); Lakeland, FL (27 percent); Bakersfield, CA (25.9 percent); Yuma, AZ (24.6 percent) and Visalia, CA (24.4 percent).
Home flipping rates were at least 10 percent in 160 counties during 2024
Among 870 counties with at least 50 home flips in 2024, there were 160 where flips accounted for at least 10 percent of all home sales last year. The top five were all in Georgia: Houston County (Warner Robins) (23.1 percent); Cobb County (Marietta) (22.5 percent); Clayton County (outside Atlanta) (19 percent); Douglas County (outside Atlanta) (18.6 percent) and Dawson County (outside Marietta) (18.4 percent).
High-level takeaways from fourth-quarter 2024 data:
The 69,929 home flips in the fourth quarter of 2024 were completed by 54,502 investors, a ratio of 1.28 flips per investor.The share of homes flipped in the fourth quarter of 2024 that were purchased by investors with financing represented 36.2 percent of all homes flipped in the quarter – almost the same as the 36.1 percent figure in the previous quarter but down from 37.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2023. The share purchased with cash remained about the same – 63.8 percent, compared to 63.9 percent in the third quarter of 2024 but up from 62.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2023.The gross-flipping profit on median-priced home flips in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $66,100. That was down from $70,000 in both the third quarter of last year and the fourth quarter of 2023. The latest figure represented a typical 26.5 percent return on investment (percentage of original purchase price). That was down from 28.6 percent in the previous quarter and from 30.4 percent in late-2023.The latest ROI marked the third-lowest quarterly result in the past 10 years.Home flips completed in the fourth quarter of 2024 took an average of 157 days, up one day from 156 in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Report methodology
ATTOM analyzed sales deed data for this report. A single-family home or condo flip was any arms-length transaction that occurred in the quarter where a previous arms-length transaction on the same property had occurred within the last 12 months. The average gross flipping profit is the difference between the purchase price and the flipped price (not including rehab costs and other expenses incurred, which flipping veterans estimate typically run between 20 percent and 33 percent of a property’s after-repair value). Gross flipping returns on investment was calculated by dividing the gross flipping profit by the first sale (purchase) price.

Ralph Ye on 10 Years of Entrepreneurship at CASEKOO: Less Identity Shift, More Habits That Endure
Published
9 minutes agoon
July 24, 2026By
NEW YORK, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As CASEKOO approaches its 10th anniversary, founder Ralph Ye says the company’s biggest achievement isn’t measured by units sold, but by how its philosophy has evolved.
Ten years ago, Ye found himself frustrated by a simple problem: his phone wouldn’t stand upright on a fast-food table. Instead of accepting the inconvenience, he saw an opportunity to rethink what a phone case could do.
Today, CASEKOO has sold more than 20 million phone cases across 32 countries. Over the past decade, the company has evolved from creating protective accessories into designing products that fit naturally into everyday life.
“Innovation isn’t about changing identities,” Ye said. “It’s about making meaningful habits easier to keep.”
From Q Line to LinKOO
The evolution of CASEKOO’s product portfolio reflects a broader shift in the company’s design philosophy.
The journey began with the Q Line (Quality Line), a collection of crystal-clear phone cases engineered to deliver premium protection without compromising aesthetics. In 2021, CASEKOO introduced the E Line (Innovation Line), the world’s first phone case with an integrated ring stand. The product earned an iF Design Award and became an Amazon bestseller, demonstrating the market’s appetite for accessories that combined protection with everyday functionality. The X Line (Expression Line) followed, expanding the brand’s focus on personalization and expressive design.
Each product generation introduced new capabilities, but each also reinforced an important insight.
“We moved from Q Line to E Line to X Line, and every generation taught us something about what people actually need,” said Ye. “By the time we introduced The KOO series, we weren’t designing features anymore. We were designing around everyday behaviors.”
Today, the portfolio gives each rhythm a clear name: LinKOO — Link Your Way for hands-free carry, StandKOO — Elevate Your Day for hands-free viewing and grip, and X-LINE — Fit Your Vibe for expressive personalization.
It represents CASEKOO’s transition from designing accessories with added functions to creating products that support everyday habits. For the company, the future of consumer technology lies not in how many features a product offers, but in how seamlessly it integrates into the way people live.
A Philosophy Born from Everyday Life
The inspiration behind LinKOO came from one of Ye’s longest-standing habits.
For nearly two decades, he has left home every day holding his wife’s hand. One evening, while carrying his phone, keys, and wallet in his other hand, he realized how often everyday essentials compete with life’s simplest moments.
That observation inspired ClipSafe™, a foldable clasp integrated into the LinKOO series. Hidden when not in use and deployable with a single press, it allows users to carry everyday essentials without sacrificing comfort or aesthetics.
For CASEKOO, LinKOO is more than a product launch. It represents the company’s belief that technology should adapt to people—not the other way around.
“Ten years ago, we asked how to better protect a phone,” Ye said. “Today, we’re asking how to protect a moment.”
That is what designed to fit you means. That is Less Effort, More Living. And after a decade of iteration, failure, and quiet persistence, CASEKOO has finally arrived—not at an answer, but at a better question.
About CASEKOO
CASEKOO is a design-led lifestyle accessories brand built around a simple idea: freeing your hands in everyday life. Through thoughtful hands-free solutions, we help people move seamlessly between different moments of the day—from active, on-the-go moments to times of focus and connection.
What makes CASEKOO different from a regular phone case? We believe technology should support life, not interrupt it. By designing products that adapt naturally to how people live, work, and move, CASEKOO reduces everyday friction and creates a more effortless experience—making room for freedom, connection, and the moments that truly matter.
