  • Either way, it will take some significant reworking of the financials for home flipping fortunes to turn back around."

Thursday, March 7, 2024

IRVINE, Calif., March 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ATTOM, a leading curator of land, property, and real estate data, today released a Special Housing Risk Report spotlighting county-level housing markets around the United States that are more or less vulnerable to declines, based on home affordability, underwater mortgages and other measures in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Less-vulnerable markets are spread mainly throughout the South and Midwest.

  • "As always, this is not a warning sign for homeowners to run out and sell, or rush to buy, in any specific market.
  • The housing market remains strong throughout most of the country despite some recent small downturns.
  • Rather, this report again spotlights areas that appear more or less exposed to a market fall, should that start to happen, based on key measures."
  • Counties with the lowest composite rank were considered most vulnerable to housing market problems.
