Bottom Line
Due to the notable rebound by iBuying services during Q2 2021, many housing professionals anticipate a burst of record-breaking iBuying sales in Q3 2021.
Jeremy Wacksman, Zillow’s Chief Operating Officer, said, “The growing number of homeowners using an iBuyerservice clearly demonstrates that sellers desire an easier way to sell their homes, with more certainty and less stress, even in a hot seller’s market. iBuyers remove some of the traditional home selling pain points…(and) brings net-new inventory to the market, mainly at an affordable price point near the middle of the market, adding liquidity to the market that has traditionally been difficult for consumers to navigate.”
