Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

Development of an automated valuation model (AVM) that generates instant cash offers for homes, allowing sellers to close in days without listing, showings, or uncertainty.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"Structurally changed the residential transaction. By acting as the 'market maker' for houses, Opendoor removes the liquidity risk for sellers. Success depends entirely on the accuracy of their pricing algorithm to manage inventory risk."

warning The Challenge

Selling a home the traditional way is painful: repairs, staging, open houses, and months of uncertainty. Sellers often need to sell quickly to buy their next home (the 'contingency' problem). The process is opaque, with fees of ~6% and indeterminate timelines.

psychology The Solution

Built a proprietary AVM that ingests hundreds of data points (comps, unique features, market trends) to calculate a home's value instantly. Sellers upload photos and details; the algorithm outputs a firm cash offer within 24 hours. Opendoor buys the home, makes light repairs, and resells it. The fee (service charge) replaces the agent commission.
