Home flipping declines again across U.S. during third quarter of 2022 as investor profits hit 13-year low

ATTOM has released its third-quarter 2022 U.S. Home Flipping Report showing that 92,422 single-family houses and condominiums in the United States were flipped in the third quarter. Those transactions represented 7.5 percent of all home sales in the third quarter of 2022, or one in 13 transactions. The latest portion was down from 8.2 percent, or one in every 12 home sales in the nation during the second quarter of 2022. But it was still up from 5.9 percent, or one in 17 sales, in the third quarter of last year.

Despite the decline, the home-flipping rate during the third quarter of this year still stood at the third-highest level in the past decade, below the high point of 9.7 percent registered in the first quarter of 2022.

not seen in 13 years.

Among all flips nationwide, the gross profit on typical transactions (the difference between the median purchase price paid by investors and the median resale price) decreased to $62,000 in the third quarter of 2022. That was down 18.4 percent from $76,000 in the second quarter of 2022 and down 11.4 percent from $70,000 in the third quarter of 2021. The latest profit figure stood at the lowest point since the fourth quarter of 2019, while the quarterly rate of decline marked the worst since early 2009.

homes.

Specifically, in the third quarter of 2022, the typical resale price on flipped homes declined to $310,000. That was down 5.5 percent from $328,000 in the second quarter of 2022, although still up 6.9 percent from $290,000 a year earlier.

“This is a classic good news/bad news report for fix-and-flip investors,” said Rick Sharga, executive vice president of market intelligence at ATTOM. “While flipping activity in the third quarter was among the highest on record, gross profits and profit margins declined significantly, reflecting the overall pricing weakness in today’s housing market.”

The report shows that as home selling by investors decreased, typical gross profits on those deals also dropped in the third quarter, hitting their lowest point in almost three years. With the national housing-market boom stalling, gross flipping profits declined in the third quarter as well at the fastest quarterly pace since 2009. More importantly, profit margins on flips also fell precipitously during the third quarter of 2022, to a point

Typical profit margins, meanwhile, sank during the third quarter of this year after rising in the prior two quarters. The typical gross-flipping profit of $62,000 in the third quarter of 2022 translated into a 25 percent return on investment compared to the original acquisition price. That was down from 30.2 percent in the second quarter of 2022 and from 31.8 percent a year earlier. The typical third-quarter return on investment slumped to the lowest point since 2009 and was less than half the peak over the past decade of 53.1 percent in late 2016.

So large was the fall in the third-quarter that typical returns were less than 25 percent in nearly half the metropolitan areas around the nation with enough data to analyze, compared to just a third of them earlier in 2022.

Profit margins worsened in the third quarter of 2022 as median resale prices on flipped homes declined faster than they had previously when investors were buying

The quarterly drop-off in median resale values was worse than the 1.6 percent decline in prices that recent home flippers were commonly seeing when they originally bought their properties. The price-change gap between buying and selling resulted in profit margins going down from the second to the third quarter of 2022.

The third-quarter woes for home flippers added to the growing list of signals that the nation’s decade-long housing market boom is over – or has at least stalled – after nearly tripling home values and sending profits and equity soaring.

“It’s apparent that fix-and-flip investors aren’t immune to the shifting conditions in the housing market,” Sharga noted. “With demand from buyers weakening, prices trending down over the past few months, and financing rates significantly higher than they were at the beginning of the year, flippers face a much more difficult environment today, and probably will in 2023 as well.”

Home flipping rates drop in two-thirds of local markets

NOVAK: Bad client inspired a career change

BY THOMAS ELROD, KELLER WILLIAMS BALLANTYNE-AREA AGENT

If you are in the market to sell your home, there’s something very important you should know. Real estate agents are NOT all the same. Your decision to place your property for sale involves more than simply dropping a sign in the yard, putting it on the Multiple Listing Service and praying to God for someone to buy it. Selling a property is all about marketing and negotiation skills. Hiring the wrong agent can mean the difference between making or losing money, selling quickly or taking a long time, a trouble-free transaction or a living nightmare. Unless you have extensive experience interviewing real estate agents, you won’t always know what questions to ask. Further, you won’t always know what answer will best suit your real estate needs. Here’s a list of 10 important and insightful questions you should ask any real estate agent before you sign anything. If the agent you are interviewing tries to dodge any of these questions, doesn’t have a great answer, or tries to spin their answer to avoid the real question, you should be concerned by their approach to listing and marketing your property. Don’t let an agent without a clear strategy list your home. That would be like hiring a surgeon to operate on you who doesn’t have a clear strategy. Even though this isn’t physical surgery on you, it is financial surgery on your largest asset. Let’s hop into the top 10

questions to ask below.

QUESTION 1: Will you let me unconditionally cancel my listing agreement if you aren’t doing your job?

QUESTION 2: Can you show me your actual results compared to other agents? What’s your average Days on Market (DOM)?

QUESTION 3: Do you have an actual documented marketingplan and strategy for each individual property you list?

QUESTION 4: What do you do to get buyers to take action and call for more information on a listing that you have for sale?

QUESTION 5: Do you have a database of your active buyers you can show me? If so, how do you work to match them with your listings?

QUESTION 6: Do you have a team of specialists working on my sale or do you do everything yourself?

QUESTION 7: Do you use professional photography, offer a 3D virtual tour and drone footage?

QUESTION 8: Do you perform a Traditional Comparative Marketing Analysis (CMA) when pricing or use other sources of data as well? Also, how do you come up with the best pricing strategy to maximize the value of my largest asset?

QUESTION 9: How many contract negotiations have you done in the past? What’s your List Price vs. Closed Price ratio?

QUESTION 10: Can you provide testimonials from past clients?

North Carolina Real Estate Commission petitioned to disclose flood history

The Southern Environmental Law Center has petitioned the North Carolina Real Estate Commission to require sellers to disclose to potential buyers information about past flood damages on behalf of NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council), North Carolina Justice Center, MDC, North Carolina Disaster Recovery and Resiliency School, Robeson County Church and Community Center, and NC Field. Providing this information to buyers would allow them to make fully informed decisions about the home they choose to purchase, the risk of flooding at a property, and investments they may want to make in order to address the risk of flooding.

“It’s common sense to give North Carolinians the necessary information to know if they will need flood insurance before buying a property,” said Brooks Rainey-Pearson, senior attorney, Southern Environmental Law Center, which represents the organizations before the commission. “The Real Estate Commission can help level the playing field for homebuyers in North Carolina and make sure that they know about the flood risks that come with a house.”

Currently, the Real Estate Commission only requires that property sellers disclose whether a home is in a floodplain or subject to a flood hazard. However, this vague language falls short of best practices for flood hazard disclosure because it does not share the information necessary for buyers

to know a property’s flood history, including actual damages, costs of flood insurance, or whether previous owners ever received federal disaster assistance, in which case flood insurance is mandatory for all subsequent owners of the property. Other coastal states that face similar exposure to floods and hurricanes, like Louisiana and Texas, already ensure that homebuyers are given information about a home’s flood history before purchase.

“A home that is flooded once is likely to get hit again, and buyers should have the right to know that information given how costly flooding can be for a homeowner,” said Joel Scata, senior attorney, NRDC. “Buying a home is likely the biggest investment in someone’s life – so it’s unfair for them to not have the information they need to make the best possible choice.”

The Residential Property Disclosure Act requires the North Carolina Real Estate Commission to develop a standard disclosure form that must be used in residential real estate transactions. Today’s petition for rulemaking to the North Carolina Real Estate Commission requests that it amend the mandatory disclosure form to require more explicit information about flood history and risk, adding much needed transparency to real estate transactions.

A recent study found that unsuspecting homebuyers in North Carolina could incur tens of thousands of dollars in unanticipated damages over the lifetime of their

mortgage, due to the state’s lax disclosure requirements. An analysis by NRDC found that North Carolina has one of the weaker disclosure policies in the nation when it comes to flooding. A 2022 FEMA analysis also found North Carolina’s disclosure requirements are severely lacking. These proposed disclosures enjoy bipartisan support, with more than 80% of North Carolinians across the political spectrum in favor of strengthening the state’s disclosure requirements to ensure that homebuyers

have sufficient information about a property’s flood risks.

“Flood disclosures are vital in inland communities where potential buyers may not even think to ask about the real and significant risk of flooding that comes from rain generated by a hurricane,” said Brittany Love, director of systemic programming at the Robeson County Church and Community Center in Lumberton, North Carolina.

Piedmont Lithium opens Cherryville office

Piedmont Lithium, a leading global developer of lithium resources critical to the U.S. electric vehicle supply chain, has announced the opening of a new office located at 116 E Main Street, Suite 100 in Cherryville, N.C. The space will serve as a hub for community engagement related to our proposed Carolina Lithium project as well as the headquarters for the Piedmont Lithium Foundation: Power for Life.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was hosted by the Cherryville Chamber of Commerce and attended by chamber officials, elected officials of Cherryville, and other key members of the community. As part of the event, a special gift was presented to the Cher-

ryville High School Education Foundation, providing a $10,000 donation to support the group’s 2023 operating budget.

Piedmont Chief Operating Officer Patrick Brindle said the Company is pleased to open office space near its proposed Carolina Lithium project. “Although we have our headquarters in Belmont, N.C., it’s important for us have to a strong presence in Cherryville as we invest in the region and progress in our plans for Carolina Lithium. We are excited about this new home for our community engagement and philanthropic activities.”

Piedmont plans to invest nearly $1 billion to build the proposed Carolina Lithium project as a fully integrated operation within the renowned Carolina Tin-Spodumene Belt. Expected to be one of the most sustainable lithium hydroxide operations in the world, Carolina Lithium is being designed to produce 30,000 metric tons of lithium hydroxide per year when fully operational while providing more than 420 direct jobs to the region.

Piedmont’s goal is to obtain primary construction and operating permits as well as necessary approvals for Carolina Lithium in 2023, commence construction in 2024, and begin production of spodumene concentrate and lithium hydroxide in 2026.

U.S. foreclosure completions increase annually by 64 percent in November

ATTOM has released its November 2022 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, which shows there were a total of 30,677 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings — default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions – up 57 percent from a year ago, but down 5 percent from the prior month.

“We may be at or near a peak level of foreclosure activity for 2022,” said Rick Sharga, executive vice president of market intelligence at ATTOM. “While foreclosure starts and foreclosure completions both increased compared to last year’s artificially low levels, they declined from last month, and lenders often put a moratorium on foreclosures during the holiday season.”

ENNICO: Year-end tax planning for 2022 (Part 2 of 2)

As we exit the first “post-COVID year,” it’s time to start thinking about 2022 tax filings this coming April. As always this time of year, I’m indebted to my good friend John D’Aquila, a certified public accountant and head of D’Aquila and Company LLP in Jacksonville, Florida, (www. daquilallp.com) for sharing some of his year-end tax tips with me and allowing me to share them with you.

MANIPULATING DEDUCTIONS AND INCOME

When it comes to year-end tax planning, two rules never change: You should try to 1) accelerate as many deductions as possible to December 2022, and 2) postpone as much income as possible to January 2023. If you know you will owe someone money early next year, ask them to submit their invoices now so you can mail payment before year-end. Better yet, if it’s a scheduled monthly payment, ask if it’s possible to pay the entire year in advance -- they may even give you a discount for doing that. Wait until Jan. 1 to mail out your invoices, unless a client (having read this column) asks you to send it now, in which case you probably should do that in the interest of good customer service.

DEDUCTIONS FOR EXCESS BUSINESS LOSSES

Taxpayers other than corporations can deduct excess farm losses and excess business losses through 2028. An excess business loss for the tax year is the excess of aggregate deductions attributable to your trades or businesses over the sum of your aggregate gross income or gain, plus a threshold amount. The threshold amount for 2022 is $270,000, or $540,000 for joint returns.

PASS-THRU ENTITY (LLC AND S CORP) CONSIDERATIONS

If you are operating a business through a pass-thru entity such as a partnership or S corporation, your basis in the entity must be high enough to allow for any loss deduction, if you have one for the year. In

Highest foreclosure rates remain in Illinois, Delaware, and New Jersey

Nationwide one in every 4,580 housing units had a foreclosure filing in November 2022. States with the highest foreclosure rates were again: Illinois (one in every 2,401 housing units with a foreclosure filing); Delaware (one in every 2,736 housing units); New Jersey (one in every 2,916 housing units); South Carolina (one in every 3,195 housing units); and Wyoming (one in every 3,237 housing units).

Among the 223 metropolitan statistical areas with a population of at least 200,000, those with the highest foreclosure rates in November 2022 were Cleveland, OH (one in every 1,913 housing units with a foreclosure filing); Columbia, SC (one in every 1,938 housing units); Davenport, IA (one in every 2,000 housing units); Bakersfield, CA (one in every 2,034 housing units); and Atlantic City, NJ (one in every 2,063 housing units).

Those metropolitan areas with a population greater than 1 million, with the worst foreclosure rates in November 2022, including Cleveland, OH were: Chicago, IL (one in every 2,221 housing units); Riverside, CA (one in every 2,294 housing units); and Philadelphia, PA (one in every 2,539 housing units).

such a situation, talk to your accountant about ways you can legally increase your basis in such an entity.

Many states have enacted a passthrough entity tax for S corporations and LLCs with more than one owner (https:// www.crosslinktax.com/customer-resources/tax-resource-center/tax-updates/ states-with-a-pass-through-entity-tax/). Deducting this tax on your federal income tax return, especially if your business is located in a state with high state and local taxes, can be a very significant tax savings for business owners.

QUALIFIED BUSINESS INCOME DEDUCTION

If you are conducting your business as a sole proprietorship, a partner in a partnership, a member in an LLC taxed as a partnership, or as a shareholder in an S corporation, the qualified business income deduction can significantly help reduce taxable income. The QBI deduction allows eligible taxpayers to deduct up to 20% of their QBI, plus 20% of qualified real estate investment trust dividends and qualified traded partnership income. A W-2 wage limitation amount may apply to limit the amount of the deduction. The W-2 wage limitation amount must be calculated for taxpayers with a taxable income that exceeds a statutorily defined amount (i.e., the threshold amount).

For any tax year beginning in 2022, the threshold amount is $340,100 for married filing joint returns and $170,050 for all other returns.

Since the QBI deduction reduces taxable income, and is not used in computing adjusted gross income, it does not affect limitations based on adjusted gross income such as the medical expense deduction or the calculation of social security income that is includible in income. However, the QBI deduction does not apply to a “specified service trade or business,” which is defined as any trade or business involving the performance of services in

Foreclosure completions up 64 percent from last year

Lenders repossessed 3,770 U.S. properties through completed foreclosures (REOs) in November 2022, down 9 percent from last month but up 64 percent from last year.

States that had the greatest number of REOs in November 2022, included: Illinois (343 REOs); New York (313 REOs); Pennsylvania (220 REOs); Michigan (210 REOs); and Ohio (208 REOs).

Those major metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) with a population greater than 1 million that saw the greatest number of REOs in November 2022 included: Chicago, IL (278 REOs); New York, NY (174 REOs); Philadelphia, PA (103 REOs); Detroit, MI (77 REOs); and Houston, TX (59 REOs).

Greatest number of foreclosure starts still in California, Texas, and Florida

Lenders started the foreclosure process on 20,686 U.S. properties in November 2022, down 5 percent from last month but up 98 percent from a year ago.

“Foreclosure starts in November nearly doubled from last year’s numbers, but are still just above 80 percent of pre-pandemic levels,” Sharga added. “We may continue to see below-normal foreclosure activity, since unemployment rates are still very low, and mortgage delinquency rates are lower than historical averages.”

the fields of health, law, accounting, actuarial science, performing arts, consulting, athletics, financial services, brokerage services, including investing and investment management, trading, or dealing in securities, partnership interests or commodities, and any trade or business where the principal asset of such trade or business is the reputation or skill of one or more of its employees. Engineering and architecture services are specifically excluded from the definition of a specified service trade or business.

MORE FUNDING FOR SMALL BUSINESS AUDITS

Most of the benefits of the new federal Inflation Reduction Act for small business will, however, be outweighed by the Act’s appropriation of $80 billion for IRS tax enforcement activities such as hiring more enforcement agents, providing legal support and investing in “investigative technology.” To be fair, the IRS was long overdue for funding, and roughly 45% of the appropriation is earmarked for improving taxpayer services, updating the IRS’ notoriously antiquated computer systems and other purposes that will be beneficial to taxpayers.

States that had the greatest number of foreclosure starts in November 2022 again included: California (2,244 foreclosure starts); Texas (2,114 foreclosure starts); Florida (1,709 foreclosure starts); New York (1,575 foreclosure starts); and Illinois (1,243 foreclosure starts).

Those major metropolitan areas with a population greater than 1 million that had

But it’s no secret that the principal motivation behind the increased funding is to reduce the almost $500 billion “tax gap” between the amount people are supposed to pay in taxes and the amount the IRS actually collects. This means more (and more aggressive) audits, and small businesses will be in the crosshairs. Within the next year, the IRS will be hiring thousands of new auditors (mostly recent college and business school graduates with zero auditing experience) and handing them a bunch of small business tax returns on which they can cut their teeth.

Here’s hoping yours won’t be one of them.

NOVAK: Bad client inspired a career change

Q: I worked in a high-paying position for many years. I was good at troubleshooting, meeting deadlines and biting my tongue, so I didn’t complain. I carried out every assignment I was asked to until I couldn’t stand it anymore. I had received compliments for decorating and renovating buildings and individual rooms, and I was good at math and formulating calculations. It made sense to me to go back to school to become an interior designer.

I routinely complete every goal I set for myself, so completing school was no different. After graduating, I got a job as an assistant to an owner of a design company. I liked the work, but the owner was difficult to deal with daily. After a year, I left to start my own business designing and renovating properties. I solicited clients and got them right away. The jobs got larger, but as they grew, the clients became fussier. I decided to focus only on decorating, but I offered to include renovation plans for any rooms they wanted. I had clear and precise contracts so there would be no misunderstandings. They had to find their own contractors and manage their own rehab jobs.

What I learned in being a business owner was that clients don’t listen, regardless of what they sign. Though I put money, time and effort into a career change, I discovered things about starting your own business that no one tells you. I felt like I had to have the strength of a bull in dealing with clients, but I had to smile with every communication. I discovered I didn’t have the patience and didn’t like who I had to be to get things done. I was

blessed to be able to return to my previous job.

I hear young graduates talk about running their own businesses. I want them to know there’s a side to running a business no one will warn them of. I never thought I was impatient, but pursuing my own business gave me a greater understanding of every aspect involved in being a business owner. Please warn people. Being a business owner is not for everyone. They need to learn about themselves before making such decisions.

A: You learned an important lesson, not just for running a business but for all life situations. A formal high school education doesn’t offer classes in getting to know oneself outside of psychology classes, where students learn about childhood development and abnormal psychology.

Taking the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or the MBTI, could solve that dilemma. The assessment test measures information on sixteen personality types, eight preferences and other tools to help a person with a basic understanding of their personality type. The MBTI is an extremely helpful guide, but this assessment is not required in high school classes, where it could benefit many.

Private assessment companies and consultants sometimes offer the test to clients, including the interpretation, but the fees are high. Some community or city colleges may offer it, but it is only given to students who seek to take it. MBTI results offer an important understanding of all that makes you who you are -- “the interactions of your preferences and how different preferences emerge as

you mature.”

There is no A to F grading, so perhaps schools feel it’s of no value for the school. It does, though, offer great value to students who go through school and their work life confused or making poor life choices.

Parents also often buy into the approach of telling their children they can be anything they want in life, which can later lead to extreme disappointment. Students could avoid choosing careers they are not good at or suited to just by learning about themselves and

their personality, innate abilities, interests and the best career fit. Some children know it in childhood; most don’t.

But everything worked out for you. You changed to a career you thought you would love and didn’t, so it doesn’t get better than to return to an employer that appreciated your hard work and achievements.

decreased from the second to the third quarter of 2022 in 132 of the 194 metropolitan statistical areas around the U.S. analyzed for this report (68 percent). Where rates declined, they mostly decreased by less than two percentages points. (Metro areas were included if they had a population of 200,000 or more and at least 50 home flips in the third quarter of 2022.)

Among those metros, the largest flipping rates during the third quarter of 2022 were in Phoenix, AZ (flips comprised 13.7 percent of all home sales); Spartanburg, SC (13.3 percent); Atlanta, GA (12.9 percent); Winston-Salem, NC (12.7 percent) and Gainesville, GA (12.6 percent).

Aside from Phoenix and Atlanta, the largest flipping rates among metro areas with a population of more than 1 million were in Memphis, TN (12.1 percent); Jacksonville, FL (11.8 percent) and Tucson, AZ (11.4 percent).

The smallest home-flipping rates among metro areas analyzed in the third quarter were in Honolulu, HI (1.6 percent); Davenport, IA (3.7 percent); Rochester, NY (4 percent); Ann Arbor, MI (4 percent) and Bridgeport, CT (4 percent).

Typical home flipping returns decline quarterly in four of every five metro areas

The median $310,000 resale price of homes flipped nationwide in the third quarter of 2022 generated a gross flipping profit of $62,000 above the median investor purchase price of $248,000. That resulted in a typical 25 percent profit margin.

Typical home flips generated less than a 25 percent profit in 91 of the 194 metros with enough data to analyze in the third quarter

(47 percent). Profit levels were that low in just 32 percent of the metros reviewed in the second quarter of this year.

Moreover, profit margins decreased from the second to the third quarter of 2022 in 158 of the areas analyzed in the third quarter (81 percent) and were down compared to the third quarter of last year in 78 percent of those markets.

The biggest quarterly decreases came in Tallahassee, FL (ROI down from 95.3 percent in the second quarter of 2022 to 41.5 percent in the third quarter of 2022); Canton, OH (down from 71.6 percent to 21.9 percent); Salisbury, MD (down from 129.1 percent to 81.2 percent); Harrisburg, PA (down from 96 percent to 53.8 percent) and Evansville, IN (down from 53.9 percent to 15.3 percent).

Markets with the largest returns on investment for typical home flips completed during the third quarter of 2022 were Buffalo, NY (121.7 percent return); Pittsburgh, PA (116.9 percent); Scranton, PA (88.7 percent); Reading, PA (86.7 percent) and Salisbury, MD (81.2 percent).

Aside from Buffalo and Pittsburgh, the largest investment returns in the third quarter among metro areas with a population of at least 1 million were in Philadelphia, PA (77.5 percent); Baltimore, MD (75 percent) and Detroit, MI (68.3 percent).

Metro areas with the weakest returns on typical home flips in the third quarter of 2022 were Jackson, MS (0.4 percent loss); Honolulu, HI (0.3 percent loss); Boise, ID (0.1 percent profit); Ogden, UT (2 percent profit) and Santa Barbara, CA (3.2 percent profit).

Investors earn highest gross profits in South and Northeast

The highest gross profits on medi-

an-priced home flips in the third quarter of 2022, measured in dollars, were concentrated in the South and Northeast regions of the country. Seventeen of the top 20 were in those areas, led by Salisbury, MD (typical gross profit of $198,983); San Jose, CA ($160,000); New York, NY ($145,000); Washington, DC ($140,000) and Baltimore, MD ($135,000).

The South also dominated the opposite end of the range, along with the West, as 14 of the 15 lowest gross profits, or losses, on typical home flips were spread across those regions. They weakest numbers were in Honolulu, HI ($2,232 loss); Jackson, MS ($913 loss); Boise, ID ($598 profit); Longview, TX ($7,757 profit) and Ogden, UT ($8,010 profit).

All-cash investing holds steady at twothirds of the flipping market

Nationwide, 63.7 percent of homes flipped in the third quarter of 2022 had been purchased by investors with cash. That figure was about the same as the 63.3 percent level in the second quarter of 2022 and the 63.5 percent portion in the third quarter of 2021. Meanwhile, 36.3 percent of homes flipped in the third quarter of 2022 had been bought with financing. That was about the same as in the prior quarter (36.7 percent) and a year earlier (36.5 percent).

Among metropolitan areas with a population of 1 million or more and sufficient data to analyze, those with the highest percentage of flips in the third quarter of 2022 that had been purchased with cash were in Detroit, MI (79.5 percent); Cleveland, OH (78.6 percent); Atlanta, GA (78.1 percent); Buffalo, NY (78 percent) and Cincinnati, OH (76 percent).

Average time to flip nationwide slightly lower

The average time it took from purchase

to resale on home flips dipped to 163 days in the third quarter after rising for three consecutive quarters. The latest figure - less the historical averages - was down from 166 days in the second quarter of 2022 but still up from 149 in the third quarter of 2021.

Investor resales to FHA buyers increase

Of the 92,422 U.S. homes flipped in the third quarter of 2022, 9.1 percent were sold to buyers using loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). That was up from 7.6 percent in both the prior quarter and the third quarter of 2021.

Among the 194 metro areas with a population of at least 200,000 and at least 50 home flips in the third quarter of 2022, those with the highest percentage of flipped properties sold to FHA buyers — typically firsttime home purchasers — were Elkhart, IN (29.8 percent); Brownsville, TX (24.1 percent); Modesto, CA (23.8 percent); Vallejo, CA (23.3 percent) and Springfield, MA (23.1 percent).

One in five counties again have home-flipping rates of at least 10 percent

Home flips accounted for at least 10 percent of all home sales in 224, or 21 percent, of the 1,086 counties around the U.S. with at least 10 flips in the third quarter of 2022. That was about the same as the 22 percent portion of all counties with enough data to measure in the second quarter of 2022. The leaders in the third quarter of this year were Franklin County, GA (north of Athens) (19.7 percent); Clayton County, GA (outside Atlanta) (19.4 percent); Hopkins County, TX (east of Dallas) (19.3 percent); Meriweather County, GA (south of Atlanta) (19 percent) and Lumpkin County, GA (north of Atlanta) (18.4 percent).

U.S. stocks fall as Fed signals it will remain aggressive

BY DAMIAN J. TROISE AP BUSINESS WRITER

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell broadly on Wall Street Thursday following the latest signal from the Federal Reserve that interest rates will need to go higher than previously expected in order to tame inflation.

The S&P 500 fell 2.3% as of 12:33 p.m. Eastern. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 772 points, or 2.3%, to 33,194 and the Nasdaq fell 2.8%. The slide erased all the weekly gains for the major indexes.

The Fed raised its short-term interest rate by half a percentage point on Wednesday, its seventh increase

this year. Central banks in Europe followed along Thursday, with the European Central Bank, Bank of England and Swiss National Bank each raising their main lending rate by a half-point Thursday. European stocks fell sharply, with Germany’s DAX dropping 3.3%.

Although the Fed is slowing the pace of its rate increases, the central bank signaled it expects rates to be higher over the coming few years than it had previously anticipated. That disappointed investors who hoped recent signs that inflation is easing somewhat would persuade the Fed to take some pressure off the brakes it’s applying to the U.S. economy.

The federal funds rate stands at a range of 4.25% to 4.5%, the highest level in 15 years. Fed policymakers fore -

cast that the central bank’s rate will reach a range of 5% to 5.25% by the end of 2023.

The yield on the two-year Treasury, which closely tracks expectations for Fed moves, rose to 4.24% from 4.21% late Wednesday.

The central bank has been fighting to lower inflation at the same time that pockets of the economy, including employment and consumer spending, remain strong. That has made it more difficult to rein in high prices on everything from food to clothing.

On Thursday, the government reported that the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits fell last week, a sign that the labor market remains strong. The U.S. did report that retail sales fell in November

as inflation squeezes wallets. That pullback followed a sharp rise in spending in October.

Like the Fed, central bank officials in Europe said inflation is not yet corralled and that more rate hikes are coming.

“We are in for a long game,” European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said at a news conference.

Markets in Asia slipped. The Asian Development Bank downgraded its forecasts for developing economies in Asia, putting growth for the region at 4.2% this year and 4.6% in 2023. The earlier forecasts had put 2022 growth at 4.3% and 2023’s expansion at 4.9%.
