>Opendoor is betting that there are hundreds of thousands of Americans who value the certainty of a sale over getting the highest price How does that work in hot markets where sales are quick and certain? (a home in Seattle usually gets 6-10 offers). As a seller you're asking me to accept a lower price and pay a higher fee for little benefit. Also, how does your model work if the housing market has a downturn? Suddenly all those arbitrage opportunities are underwater. Seems like what you are doing is basically real estate speculation.
