According to ATTOM’s recently released Q2 2025 U.S. Home Sales Report, homeowners earned an average 50 percent profit on the sale of single-family homes and condos in the second quarter. While that marked a slight uptick from the 48.9 percent median profit margin in Q1 2025, it remained below the 55.6 percent level recorded during the same period last year.
ATTOM’s latest home sales analysis reported that home sale profit margins have generally declined since peaking at 64.3 percent in spring 2022. However, the recent uptick suggests that historically high home prices still have room to grow. In Q2 2025, the national median sales price reached $369,000, a 5.4 percent increase from the previous quarter and a 3.1 percent rise year over year.
The report noted that although home prices continued to rise, the typical home sale in the second quarter of 2025 generated a raw profit of $123,000, down 5.6 percent from the $127,990 median profit recorded in Q2 2024.
Also, according to the report, compared to the first quarter of 2025, profit margins increased in 77 of the 156 (49.4 percent) metropolitan statistical areas analyzed by ATTOM — each with a population of at least 200,000 and a minimum of 1,000 home sales in Q2. The profit margin reflects the percent difference between the median purchase price and median resale price for homes in an area. However, on a year-over-year basis, median profit margins declined in 123 of those 156 (78.8 percent) metro areas.
ATTOM’s Q2 2025 home sales analysis reported that just over half (55.8 percent) of the 156 metro areas analyzed by ATTOM recorded profit margins at or above the national level of 50 percent in Q2 2025. That marked a slight decline from the prior quarter, when 59.6 percent of markets exceeded the 50 percent threshold.
