Number Of St Louis Home Flips Declines in 2018 From Year Before

There were 3,143 home “flips” in the St Louis metro area during 2018, according to data just released by ATTOM Data Research.  With 7.4% of homes sold in St Louis being a flip in 2018, this is a decline of 3.7% from a year ago.  The peak number of flips in St Louis came in 2005 when there were 4,426 homes flipped.

What is meant by “flipped” home?

ATTOM Data considers any home or condo that was sold during the third quarter of this year in an arms-length sale that had previously had an arms-length sale within the prior 12 months as well as a “flip”.  Since homeowners don’t tend to buy a home only to turn around and resell it within a year, when this does occur it is typically the result of an investor buying a property, renovating it, then reselling it.
