During the Pandemic Housing Boom, rapid home price appreciation supercharged fix-and-flip activity. The 2022 mortgage rate shock ended that run and caused the biggest pullback in home flipping activity since 2007. Profit margins compressed, days on market increased, and many newer investors exited the space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, over the past couple of years, home flipping activity has stabilized around 2019 levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first LendingOne<\/a>\u2013ResiClub<\/em> 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\u2014even in a slower national appreciation environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Today, we\u2019re breaking down the full results from the LendingOne\u2013ResiClub<\/em> Fix and Flip Survey for Q1 2026, fielded between February 9 and March 5, 2026. In total, 201 home flippers took the survey. The data suggest the market remains steady: demand expectations are holding up across many regions, and margins\u2014while no longer pandemic-level\u2014remain workable for disciplined flippers.<\/p>\n
