2026 Flipping Market Forecast

By now, you’ve heard every version of the 2025 narrative:

• “Flipping is dead.”
• “Rates killed deals.”
• “Wait until the market comes back.”

The data tells a different story.

Deals still closed in 2025 — just not the way they did in 2021.
Margins compressed, buyer behavior shifted, and certain zip codes quietly outperformed while others stalled.

This session is about reading the market correctly and positioning yourself for 2026 with realistic expectations and stronger structure.

During this session, we’ll walk through:

What actually happened in Houston in 2025

Units vs. volume

What the drop in dollar volume really means

Why luxury flips nearly disappeared

The Houston zip codes that moved

Where flips sold consistently

Submarkets that quietly outperformed

Why Houston remains fragmented — and why that matters

Price ranges that survived

• Where buyer demand stayed strong
• What price points stalled or slowed
• How this impacts acquisition strategy

What worked — and what didn’t

Deal structures that held up

Common mistakes that killed margins

Assumptions that no longer work in 2026

How to position flips for 2026

Conservative underwriting

Smarter entry points

Aligning deal structure with current buyer behavior

This is not a theory session.
It’s a translation of data into decisions.

This session is designed for:

• Active or aspiring Houston flippers
• Investor-agents working with renovation buyers
• Investors who want realistic expectations for 2026
• Anyone tired of recycled national narratives that don’t match Houston

If you’re looking for hype, secret formulas, or “guaranteed” returns — this is not that room.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
