Home flipping stabilized after being hit by its biggest pullback since 2007
"The first LendingOne-ResiClub Fix-and-Flip Survey in Q1 2025 showed a market recalibrating to that new reality. The latest results tell a similar story: Flipping activity has stabilized, and seasoned flippers are still planning to execute deals in 2026—even in a slower national appreciation environment."
"Market sentiment has remained steady over the last year: 53% of U.S. home flippers describe their primary market as somewhat strong (44%) or very strong (9%), compared to 56% in Q3 2025 and 54% in Q1 2025."
"Expectations for demand remain resilient: 75% of flippers expect somewhat strong (53%) or very strong (22%) demand over the next 12 months, compared to 72% in Q3 2025."
Home flipping activity saw a significant decline due to the 2022 mortgage rate shock, marking the largest pullback since 2007. However, it has since stabilized around 2019 levels. The LendingOne-ResiClub Fix-and-Flip Survey for Q1 2026 indicates that demand expectations remain strong, with 75% of flippers anticipating robust demand in the coming year. Market sentiment has also remained steady, with a majority of flippers describing their primary market as somewhat or very strong, despite profit margins being lower than during the pandemic boom.
