Home sellers these days aren’t making what they once did but they’re still doing okay. In fact, according to ATTOM Data Solutions’ Year-End 2025 U.S. Home Sales Report, the typical home sale netted $118,710 in gross profits last year – a 49 percent return on investment. That’s a pretty good return but down from year-before levels. In 2024, profit margins were 55 percent. Rob Barber, ATTOM’s CEO, says profits have been trending downward, but it may be a good sign. “While sellers continued to command record prices, profit margins have been declining for three consecutive years since peaking in 2022, suggesting the market may be gradually normalizing after a period of strong returns,” Barber said. ATTOM’s report found there were 3.9 million homes sold last year with a record-high, national median sales price of $360,000 – 2.6 percent higher than the year before and 39 percent higher than 2020.
