Per this US Census and HUD report [0], there have between 600k (2018) to 1M (2020) single family home sales per year over the years since Zillow started Offers. Per this Barron's article [1], Zillow bought 9680 homes in Q3 2021 and less than half of that in Q2 2021. So, yeah, they've probably driven the price up a little bit, but their purchases represent maybe 2% of all sales, so I assume the impact that has on the market in general would be pretty small.
