Oakbrook Terrace, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/19/2016 --2016 is a sellers' market but with smart analytics, investors can uncover attractive opportunities in the residential market. TheHomeSites conducted a study of 1,100 properties on its platform that are located across 5 states (California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, and Texas) and found the following interesting observations:

1. The number of investable properties and average returns are dependent upon the "premiumness" of the neighborhood. Higher the "premiumness", lower the number of investable properties and lower the estimated returns. (See Fix and Flip Opportunities and Buy and Hold Opportunities charts)

2. Average estimated IRR (Internal Rate of Return that measures total returns during the investment life cycle) for Fix and Flip properties was 190% while average estimated IRR for Buy and Hold properties was 26%. However, there are more Buy and Hold opportunities compared to Fix and Flip opportunities (See Fix and Flip Opportunities and Buy and Hold Opportunities charts)

3. Indianapolis, IN, Chicago, IL, and Pensacola, FL had the highest number of investable properties with above average returns (greater than 20% cash on cash return).
