Tampa – St. Petersburg, Florida 2016 Flipping Rates Were 4th Highest in The U.S.

Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida 2016 Flipping Rates

Home flipping continues to increase in popularity throughout the United States. This is particularly true in areas where the housing market is booming, millennials are moving to start their career, people love to vacation, and retirees want to live.

Metro Tampa Bay is one of the places that has all these qualities, which has earned it a reputation as one of the best places to flip homes.

Tampa – St. Petersburg, Florida 2016 Home Flipping Rates

According to a March 2017 report by RealtyTrac, U.S. home flipping increased 3% in 2016 to a 10-year high, resulting in 8.2% of all home sales being flips.

In the Tampa – St. Petersburg area, 9.9% of 2016 home sales were flips, which was the 4th highest in the nation.

The homes that are being flipped are older, coming in at a median age of 37 years. And, the size of homes being flipped went down to a median square footage rate of 1,422.

The RealtyTrac report quoted information from Daren Blomquist, senior vice president at ATTOM Data Solutions, who believes home flipping was hot in 2016 because of “low inventory of homes in sellable or rentable condition along with a flood of capital.”

Blomquist also said, “Investors in search of flipping returns are increasingly willing to move to secondary and tertiary housing markets and neighborhoods with older, smaller properties that are available at a deeper discount.”
