There haven't been this many house flippers since before the housing bubble burst
CoreLogic | April 10, 2019
House flipping is making a comeback, with the number of homes built on spec approaching its 2006 high. The latest data from CoreLogic reveals that 10.9% of all home sales in the fourth quarter of 2018 were flips, or homes that have been occupied for two years or less. This is the highest rate since the housing bubble days of 2006, when flips comprised 11.4% of home sales.
