I just bought a house that had been flipped, and sold my old house to a flipper. As far as I'm concerned, both deals were worthwhile. On the purchase side, we bought a house that has been thoroughly renovated, and move-in ready. I don't have to spend my weekends doing odd jobs and projects (at least for now). Everything in the house looks good, and works.

On the selling side, we sold it for less than top dollar, of course, but we don't have to keep putting money into it to get it up to move-in ready condition, and we don't have to wait for an unknown period of time for someone willing to buy a fixer-upper, when there are already a lot of houses on the market.

The popularity of the TV shows have contributed to the availability of flipped houses, and it also brings more investors.

Somehow, this craze reminds me of this guy:
