Home flips surged in San Antonio and nationwide last year but profit margins fell
Matthew Molina looks April 6, 2022 at the kitchen in a home he and his wife, Melissa, are rehabilitating to resell.Inside an early-1900s house a short walk from Woodlawn Lake, Matthew and Melissa Molina point out the windows, half-bathroom, full master suite, closets, washer and dryer they’ve added since buying it last summer.
After slowing during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, home flipping nationwide and in San Antonio skyrocketed in 2021. “It can be the worst of the worst, and yet we’ll still buy it,” he said. “There’s not many people willing to take on that risk.”owner Daniel Cabrera also advertises purchasing homes in any shape and making a cash offer within 24 hours. Clients include people who don’t want to fix up their property, are facing foreclosure, need to relocate quickly or don’t want to deal with the hassle of showings.
Potential sellers are worried about trying to find a new home in such a tight market. Demand is outpacing supply as people seek to relocate to cheaper areas, spread out in more space and buy before mortgage interest rates increase further.“In an environment where mortgage rates are rising as rapidly as they are today, investors buying with cash are at a distinct advantage over consumer homebuyers,” said Rick Sharga, Attom’s executive vice president of market intelligence.
“Mortgage rates have increased 1.5 percentage points over the last three months alone, the fastest three-month rise since May of 1994,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “The increase in mortgage rates has softened purchase activity such that the monthly payment for those looking to buy a home has risen by at least 20 percent from a year ago.”
San Antonio was among the metro areas with the lowest profits last year at $34,357 and the smallest profit margins at 17 percent.
