As the flippers margins are constantly reducing now. or the time it takes to sell is getting longer, i think flipping will slow down harshly soon. So this should not happen any way.

Even flippers need clients to sell onto, usually people who have experience in investment and thus knowledge of the market, they have had to be savvy to create the funds to purchase these deals at 5-10% + premium, so they can go on and make money on it. The quick return days, double your money in a queue are very numbered.

I call that a "WOW " words of wisdom.

What you are saying is absolutely right. Flippers are finding it hard to operate as the market matures. I do agree there are pockets where flipping still exists, for eg : Badrah and that was only because the price was reasonable. That too, in time to come will stop.

Once the flippers are out. The artifical pricing will not last and the developer would be forced to bring his price down - OR - offer incentives like free children education for 10 years

I would be preparing myself for ready properties, buy and rent and be happy for the rest of my life.
