​

Approximately 8.5% of single family homes sold in 2022 were fix & flip investments, up from 5.7% of single family homes in 2017.  This significant increase in fix & flip investments can be linked to a growing demand for residential real estate exposure by both institutional investors and small-scale investors (i.e. "mom-and-pop" investors).  Unlike commercial real estate, only 6.7% of single family homes are bought by large institutional investors (10+ acquisitions) each year.  That means 93.3% of single family homes are still being bought by small-scale investors and buyers planning to occupy the property. 

​

Single family homes acquired by institutional investors are flipped at an estimated 45% rate compared to just 5.9% of homes acquired by small-scale investors and owner-occupants.  Because institutional investors make up such a small percentage of the residential real estate investing population, 65% of fix & flip investments are done by small-scale investors.  This translates to about $219 billion in small-scale fix & flip sales volume and $13 billion in potential commission each year for the agents that facilitate the fix & flip investments of small-scale investors. 

​

The small-scale fix & flip investor population, and associated sales volume, is growing rapidly.  As more and more new investors have entered the market, the average ROI of fix & flip investments has plummeted from ~45% to ~28%.  These new or unsophisticated investors see the opportunity, but don't have the resources to maximize their potential.
