Over the past five years, trends surrounding house flippers have evolved along with changing housing costs. During the pandemic housing boom, home flipping surged as rising prices and low interest rates attracted many investors. However, after interest rates spiked in 2022, flipping activity declined, and many new investors withdrew. Despite this slowdown, most flippers still plan to remain active in 2025. According to recent survey data from the ResiClub blog, 89% of investors intend to complete at least one fix-and-flip, and 64% say they plan to convert some homes into single-family rentals. These figures vary across regions. For instance, flippers in Connecticut are more cautious due to the state’s low inventory, while more flippers have flocked to Florida due to the state’s high inventory levels.
