This one sold for $540,000 on September 29, 2022. So Opendoor lost over $80k on this sale alone (likely over 6 figures taking into account holding costs, commissions and sprucing up the property.

Talk about setting fire to piles of cash. Here's another home owned by OpenDoor. They appear to be as successful as the Zillow i-buyer program. Somebody check the algorithms...

For 3030 N 38th St #106, Phoenix, AZ 85018 there is a monthly HOA assessment or fee of $295.
It was built in 2017 and sold for $407,513. It sold for $400,000 in 2019 :-(
So it went up 32.6% since 2017 based on $540,000 sales price this September.
That is about a 6% annual increase in value since 2017.

I checked the sales history on Zillow for this home. Before selling for $1 million in May 2022, it sold in November 2016 for $552,500. The owner made some serious gains when they sold in May 2022.
A conservative or safe estimate for this home is $785,000 based roughly on a 6% annual price increase since 2016.

Its a SWAG but given its California, I think 6% annual price appreciation is reasonable as far as figuring out where it may bottom. So 135 Neptune in Irvine, CA will lose about 25% of value by dropping around $750,000.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, I believe California could be in for a long term decline based on demographics and policies at least I feel pretty certain of that in SoCal. The Bay Area might still have some appreciation but I'm bearish.

I think the Bay Area’s tech economy is superior to Southern California based on their contribution to GDP. California as a whole lost two Congressional seats in the most recent census due to population decline. I don’t know what you mean by California being an extension of Mexico. I think California’s state government is inept.

It’s with a heavy heart that I share this news today. For those who missed the Open House, we’ve made the difficult decision to reduce our team by ~550 people across all functions – approximately 18% of the company.
Severance pay:
Everyone leaving will receive ten weeks of pay, with an additional two weeks of pay for every full year beyond two years of tenure.
Health care coverage:
All current healthcare benefits will remain active for the rest of the month, then we will pay for three months of health insurance.
Job transition support:
We will also offer job transition support and launch an opt-in talent directory to help departing team members connect with new opportunities.

Open Door is a weak company as far as debt level and profitability. And given the housing crisis now, it is going to $0 unless it can borrow money and turn its business around.

'I didn't want to wait too long': Nearly 75% of pandemic homebuyers are now suffering remorse
Kingsman doesn’t believe she will ever be completely happy with her current home, mainly because she doesn’t have a designated parking spot and has to resort to parking on the street.
The previous homeowners were embroiled in a conflict with the HOA and one of the stipulations of the resulting lawsuit was that the future owner of the lot wouldn’t have access to designated parking either.
What a moron!

it seems Opendoor is actually quite bad at home flipping. For example, in August of 2022 it is estimated that the company lost money on 42% of its transactions.

Opendoor, a real estate tech company headquartered in San Francisco, announced Thursday that it will lay off 300 workers.
CEO Carrie Wheeler announced the cuts, which total 17% of Opendoor’s staff, in a letter to shareholders attached to the company’s quarterly earnings report. They continue a brutal trend for Opendoor’s staff: The company slashed 550 jobs in November 2022, and 560 more in April 2023. But the layoffs haven’t reversed Opendoor’s fortunes. The firm lost $278 million from January through September.
