The comment arrives about two months just after Zillow’s most current earnings report, at which time the corporation mentioned it continue to had 71 households to offer.

Both Zillow and Opendoor declined to say Thursday if the latter corporation obtained any of the former’s final residences.

The two corporations did strike up a partnership in August that connects Zillow people to Opendoor features.

The end of Zillow Delivers now leaves Opendoor, and smaller sized rivals these as Offerpad and Redfin, as the only remaining main gamers in the iBuying room. Scrutiny on all 3 companies has improved in the latest months as the housing marketplace worsened and their stock price ranges have tanked. Even so, all three providers have indicated they are in the iBuying sport for the prolonged haul, nevertheless time will inform how hard that may well or may not be.
