As home prices ripped higher in 2013, we saw a rise in home flipping — when a home is purchased and sold within six months.
Home flipping was up 16% on the year in 2013, according to RealtyTrac's latest report.
The average gross profit for a flip — the difference between the flipped price and the purchase price — was $58,081 in 2013.
In the fourth quarter the gross profit on flips was $62,761.
We rounded up the 14 cities where home flippers made the highest gross profit (in percent) in the fourth quarter.
