After the pandemic-fueled housing boom cooled somewhat in 2023-2024, the market has found a new equilibrium that presents interesting dynamics for flippers.Key statistics worth noting:- Median home prices have stabilized around $450,000, representing a 3.5% increase year-over-year- Average days on market: 42 (up from the frenzied 12-15 days seen in 2021-2022)- Inventory levels have increased by approximately 25% compared to early 2023Where to Find Flipping Growing NeighborhoodsSeveral Phoenix neighborhoods are showing particularly strong potential for profitable flips:1.
