THE COMPANY
We are a leading digital platform for residential real estate. In
2014, we founded Opendoor to reinvent one of life’s most important
transactions and make it possible to buy, sell, and move at the tap
of a button. By leveraging software, data science, product design
and operations, we have rebuilt the entire service model for real
estate and have made buying and selling possible on a mobile
device. We believe that the end state for the real estate
marketplace will inevitably be a simple, certain, and fast
transaction powered by technology. Residential real estate is the
largest undisrupted category in the United States. In 2020 alone,
more than 5.6 million existing homes were sold, representing
nearly $1.9 trillion in transactions. Additionally, with 66% of
Americans living in a home they own, housing is the single largest
consumer expenditure in the United States, ahead of transportation,
food, insurance, and healthcare.
Yet, in a world with purchases increasingly migrating online, the
real estate transaction has largely remained unchanged. The typical
process of buying or selling a home is complex, uncertain, time
consuming and primarily offline. A traditional home sale requires
countless decisions, often brings unexpected costs, and takes
approximately three months from start to finish. Ultimately,
the consumer is left dissatisfied with a broken, disjointed
experience.
We streamline the process of buying and selling a home into a
seamless digital experience that’s simple, certain, and fast.
Sellers can go to Opendoor.com, receive an offer, and sign and
close on the date of their choice. Buyers can download the Opendoor
app, tour and visit homes in a few taps with self-tours, and make
an offer backed by Opendoor’s cash, all with just a mobile device.
Homebuyers and sellers can also integrate Opendoor’s current suite
of adjacent services such as title and escrow and Opendoor Home
Loans to complete the core transaction. We have built a simple,
on-demand way to buy and
sell a home.
Over the past seven years, customers have shown their desire
for our digital, on-demand
real estate solution. Since launch, we have bought and sold over
120,000 homes, making us one of the largest buyers and sellers of
single family homes in the United States, and have expanded our
footprint to 44 markets across the country. Most importantly,
we have scaled rapidly while delighting our customers with an
experience that continues to drive high Net Promoter Score from our
sellers.
More importantly, we have just scratched the surface and believe we
are in the early stages of the digital transformation of real
estate. Over the coming years, we plan on increasing our market
share, launching in additional cities across the country, and
expanding our products and services to become a digital,
one-stop shop for buyers
and sellers of residential real estate.
