☆ The problem with home-flipping giants
  + stars: | 2023-03-01 | by ( Aj Latrace | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
Meanwhile, the corporate scalpers of the housing market — companies that buy and relist homes by the thousands without doing much, if any, work on them to make a profit — are struggling. Last week, two of the biggest remaining corporate home-flipping companies, Opendoor and Offerpad, reported dismal earnings, another sign that their business model is incredibly risky. Kelman also said one "problem is that iBuying is a staggering amount of money and risk for a now-uncertain benefit. At its core, the main business model of home-flipping firms doesn't create a ton of immediate value. Opendoor, Offerpad, and other companies that rushed to purchase homes are now discounting the asking prices of those homes to get them off their books.
☆ Inside California's tiny-home takeover
  + stars: | 2023-02-24 | by ( Kelsey Neubauer | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
For the state with the most dire housing shortage, the move could be a game changer — eventually. As the US grapples with a massive housing shortage, one possible solution is playing out in California right now — and the state may have struck gold. Oregon, Maine, and Nebraska, as well as cities like Miami, have enacted laws similar to California's. There's been opposition to ADUs from homeowners worried about the density of their neighborhoods and sometimes the aesthetics of the structures. Ultimately, the housing shortage could be alleviated, she said.

☆ A housing market 'trough' is around the corner and should be a welcome relief to real estate firms like Zillow, a Bank of America analyst says
  + stars: | 2023-01-17 | by ( Alex Nicoll | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
High mortgage rates and home prices have put the housing market into a deep chill. A Bank of America analyst upgraded real estate stock Zillow from "underperform" to a "buy." A dark cloud is hovering over America's housing market with each week bringing signs of doom and gloom. The rosier view wasn't because of an imminent improvement in the housing market. That's hit Zillow — which earns most of its revenue from lead generation for real estate agents — squarely in the pocket.
☆ First-time homebuyers are pretty much screwed in 2023
  + stars: | 2023-01-12 | by ( Alcynna Lloyd | Andy Kiersz | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Starter homes are typically more affordable houses that are purchased by new home buyers. Their absence has made it difficult for many first-time buyers to afford homeownership. The stark indicator only illustrates that starter homes are vanishing from the US real-estate market. Starter homes are typically smaller, more affordable houses that are purchased by first-time buyers or those on a tight budget. With higher home prices, mortgage rates and property taxes, as well as a possible recession looming in 2023 — that could trigger mass job losses — the odds are stacked against many would-be first-time buyers.
☆ People buying homes on Florida's flood-prone coasts will likely have trouble selling in the future, Redfin CEO said
  + stars: | 2023-01-10 | by ( Alcynna Lloyd | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Climate change is spurring tropical storms in Florida, putting coastal cities at more risk for flooding. Glenn Kelman, Redfin's CEO, said homeowners in flood zones will have trouble selling to regular buyers. Glenn Kelman, the CEO of real estate brokerage Redfin, said it's a problem that is likely to escalate as climate change ramps up. According to Kelman, investors are stepping in because they are the only ones that have the cash and can "withstand the risk posed by climate change." "I visited the Tampa Bay area right after Hurricane Ian hit just to check on the welfare of our own employees.
☆ Millennials are now the 'roommate generation' after being squeezed out of homeownership by high housing costs, said Redfin CEO
  + stars: | 2023-01-09 | by ( Robert Davis | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman warns that millennials could become the 'roommate generation' due to high housing costs. Millennial homebuyers may find reprieve in the Midwest or quickly-deflating markets like Boise or Salt Lake City. "We have a whole group of Americans who can't afford homes, and that's happening right as Millennials are coming of homebuying age," Kelman said. One reason is that homes in these markets are typically selling for under their list price. Meanwhile, 59% of homes in Chicago are selling for under their asking price as of October 2022 compared to 45.5% of homes selling for under ask across the US.
☆ A luxury-furniture CEO warns that 'the housing market is collapsing at a level I haven't seen since 2008'

RH CEO Gary Friedman told investors on an earnings call this week that the housing market is collapsing. He previously told investors that "anyone who doesn't think we're in a recession is crazy'"Other real estate experts think the market data isn't a perfect indicator of future performance. He points to low homebuyer demand and the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes to tame inflation for the market decline. "The housing market has collapsed, and it's gone down pretty viciously as interest rates went up," Friedman said during the call. Meanwhile, Friedman estimated that the luxury housing market, which is RH's primary market, could see a 35% to 40% decline in activity in Q4 because of high interest rates.

☆ Big corporate home-flippers bad bet on hot pandemic housing markets could spell relief for fatigued home shoppers

Big home-flipping companies like Opendoor and Redfin are struggling as the housing market cools. Opendoor is slashing prices on homes, while Redfin shut down its home-flipping business. In a move to offload some of the homes in its inventory, Opendoor has slashed prices and offered bonuses to buyers' agents. iBuyer home flipping is flopping in PhoenixWith the housing downturn intensifying, more companies could soon follow in their footsteps — that could mean steeper price cuts for fatigued homebuyers. "So, if iBuyers are moving faster in regards to doing price cuts, there's this spiral effect where they will typically lead and other people will anchor to what those price cuts are."
☆ US home sales will keep falling through 2023, Redfin says: 'Housing companies are in the jungle now'

Redfin said it expects home sales to keep falling through 2023, as it laid off 13% of its workforce. US housing companies are "in the jungle" now, its CEO said, as buyer demand falters. That means "housing companies are in the jungle now, but Redfin has been there before and come out stronger," Kelman said in separate press release. That would mean the number of existing home sales would drop from roughly 6.1 million in 2021 to roughly 4.3 million in the coming year. "The June layoff was a response to our expectation that we'd sell fewer houses in 2022; this layoff assumes the downturn will last at least through 2023," Kelman said in the memo.
