In this episode, we tackle the most pressing issues shaping the real estate landscape today. Michigan agents and brokers are taking the National Association of Realtors (NAR) to court, challenging the organization over antitrust concerns stemming from the recent commission settlement. We dive into what this lawsuit means for the industry and its potential ripple effects. Next, we explore the alarming statistic that 47% of online property inquiries are being ignored. In an era where digital engagement is critical, what does this say about the state of real estate marketing? We also introduce Zillow Group's new CEO, Jeremy Wacksman, and discuss his vision for the company amidst a rapidly changing market. Plus, we share Gary Keller's expert advice on navigating the recession and clearing up commission confusion—essential listening for agents and brokers alike. In market news, home prices continue to climb in 90% of metros, with Silicon Valley breaking the $2M ceiling. We'll discuss what's driving this growth and where the market might be headed next. On the investment front, fix-and-flip loans are going mainstream, attracting more investors into the market. What does this mean for housing availability and prices? Mortgage rates have dropped to their lowest level in over a year, prompting a surge in house tours. Could this be the sign that the housing market is heating up again? Meanwhile, the U.S. housing market is nearing a staggering $50 trillion in value, with the number of trillion-dollar metros doubling. What are the implications for buyers and sellers? For renters, there's some good news: asking rents have fallen across all bedroom counts for the first time in four years. We'll explore the factors contributing to this shift and whether it's here to stay. Additionally, we discuss the decline in the share of wood-framed homes in 2023 and what this means for construction trends moving forward. In political news, we analyze what vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, a non-homeowner, has done for affordable housing. And finally, Amazon's debut of a trio of tiny homes in response to the home affordability crisis is sparking interest—could this be a viable solution to the housing crunch?

"Unlike other technology sectors, the cost of failure is extremely high, but it's not born by the organization. It's born by the user....And so while we learn and it's helpful for us to view [digital health pilots] as a funnel, that's an incomplete view of the world because there is a real cost to equipping users and then dropping support for the application and dropping support from the organization. So I think we do need to have that mindset, but also realize...you can't just fail for free." - Jonathan Jackson Today's episode is part 3 in a series looking back on pivotal time periods in Dimagi's story in honor of our 20th anniversary. Today we look back at the time between 2010 and 2014 when Dimagi received two rounds of funding from United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Development Innovation Ventures (DIV) program to test CommCare through dozens of pilots in India. This was a time of maximum learning velocity, as we got feedback from users across many organizations and applied it to get better and better every week. Jonathan Jackson and Amie Vaccaro are joined by Kriti Mehrotra, Impact Advisor Office of the CEO; Jeremy Wacksman, Global Director of Division Operations; and Sri Ranganathan, Director of Customer Success to unpack the learnings from this time period.

Zillow Slams the Brakes on Home Buying as it Struggles to Manage its Backlog of Inventory Zillow will stop buying homes through Zillow Offers for the rest of the year, as the company's iBuying program goes from full speed to full stop. The company announced on Monday it would not contract to buy any more homes in 2021 in order to work through the backlog of homes it has already bought. The "iBuyer" model used by Zillow and other real estate companies entails purchasing homes directly from sellers, and then re-listing the properties after doing minor work. But thanks to the current shortage on labor and materials, Zillow can't close, renovate and resell the homes fast enough. "We're operating within a labor- and supply-constrained economy inside a competitive real estate market, especially in the construction, renovation and closing spaces," said Jeremy Wacksman, Zillow's chief operating officer, in a statement. "Pausing new contracts will enable us to focus on sellers already under contract with us and our current home inventory," said Wacksman. Zillow will still market and sell the homes it has acquired through Zillow Offers, which has been on a purchasing tear this year. It bought 3,805 homes in the second quarter -- a record high for the company and more than double the number of homes bought in the first quarter, according to a note to company shareholders. Zillow, known for its online real estate listings, introduced an iBuyer program, Zillow Offers, in 2018 and now operates in 25 cities. Like other iBuyers -- such as Opendoor, RedfinNow and Offerpad -- Zillow Offers uses data and algorithms about the property and the market to make a cash offer on an off-market home, and buys directly from the homeowner. IBuyers appeal to home sellers because closings can take place anywhere from 7 to 90 days after the contract is signed and can provide some certainty and control over the sale of their home without the hassle of finding an agent and prepping the house for market. According to Zillow, the fee to the seller for Zillow Offers averages 5%, but can vary based on market conditions. Home purchases by iBuyers now account for about 1% of the market, according to a report from Zillow. The share is still a tiny part of the whole market, but shows tremendous growth over the past few years as the iBuyer share in some cities, like Phoenix, Atlanta or Charlotte, North Carolina, now tops 5%. Zillow wasn't alone among iBuyers in buying a lot of homes this year. IBuyers bought more houses, at higher prices, in the second quarter of this year than in any other quarter, according to research from Mike DelPrete, an independent real estate technology strategist and scholar in residence at the University of Colorado Boulder. That has surprised some skeptics who did not think the iBuyer model would be appealing to home sellers in a hot market. His research suggests that sellers are drawn to the certainty and ease of iBuying and the market conditions fueled its growth. Zillow's move to halt purchases is surprising, he said, particularly because it is so sudden. "iBuyers have access to a tremendous amount of data, they can see months into the future and plan their inventory," said DelPrete. "So the fact that Zillow didn't see this coming and wasn't able to make adjustments before it had to resort to an iBuying lockdown is pretty surprising." This shift, he said, demonstrates how difficult this business model is to scale up. Large iBuyers need to be skilled at both managing billions of dollars in capital, but also the logistical specifics of prepping a home for sale, down to drywall and painting and closing deals. "There is only so much that technology can do," said DelPrete. "At the end of the day you need people to process a lot of transactions." However, the halt appears to be a Zillow-specific problem, not an iBuyer industry problem, DelPrete said. "Zillow just kept barreling down and now they've hit this wall," he said. This is not the situation a growth-focused company wants to be in, he said. "If you're trying to be number one in the market, slamming on the brakes is one of the worst things you can do," said DelPrete. "You want to make some adjustments before you get to that point -- slow down, switch gears. This is not the preferred outcome for Zillow." Opendoor, the leading iBuyer ahead of Zillow at a distant second, said in a statement it is still open for business.

U.S. housing prices are soaring, due to a combination of ultra-low interest rates, sky-high lumber prices and a supply-and-demand imbalance brought on by the pandemic. But with the federal foreclosure moratorium just lifted, things could soon change. Dan speaks with Jeremy Wacksman, COO of real estate tech company Zillow, to better understand what the boom means for consumers and the country, and how long it might last.
