How to Compete With iBuyers: Top 10 Takeaways From Our Latest Webinar

According to Zillow’s latest iBuyer report, homeowners sold 27,244 homes worth a total of $10.6 billion via an iBuying service in Q3 2021.

This report analyzed four of the largest iBuyers at the time (RIP Zillow Offers) and showed that iBuyer market share nearly doubled from the previous quarter.

Another interesting tidbit from Zillow’s report is the fact that iBuyers paid more for homes in Q3 than in any previous quarter. The median sale price paid by iBuyers in Q3 was $376,000—13.9% more than the median U.S. sale price of $329,970.
