IRVINE, CA — RealtyTrac® (www.realtytrac.com), the nation’s leading source for comprehensive housing data, released its Q2 2015 U.S. Home Flipping Report, which shows that 30,013 single family homes were flipped — sold as part of an arms-length sale for the second time within a 12-month period — in the second quarter, 4.5 percent of all single family home sales during the quarter.

Highlights of the report:
