Flipping at Insignia

The North Tower of Insignia has now closed 207 of 348 units with 130 left to close and only 11 left to sell. We’ve seen a handful of resales come up in the North Tower were people are flipping their units, having never occupied them. Curious about this we decided to dig in more and found only four flips so far which feels like a low percentage overall.

Considering that it costs about 8% of the sale price to sell a place, these folks made some money, but not crazy money.
