Opendoor Company Stats: Revenue & Market Share (2023)

Opendoor is an iBuyer, a real estate platform that buys and sells homes. The company uses algorithms and deep learning technology to generate nearly instant cash offers for home sellers and determine resale prices.

Founded in 2014 and headquartered in San Francisco, Opendoor was the first to introduce the iBuyer model to the U.S. residential real estate market and has remained the largest iBuyer ever since. The company went public in 2020.

Opendoor offers home sale and buying services through the company's digital platform. Starting in August 2022, home sellers also can generate Opendoor cash offers on Zillow apps.

At the end of last year, Opendoor underwent a significant restructuring to reduce the company’s operating expenses. The restructuring measures included slowing down Opendoor's home acquisition program, laying off 18% of its sales force, shutting down its home mortgage and brokerage services, and introducing the Exclusives program to sell its off-market homes at discounted prices.
