I read a few articles recently about this move by Zillow and I am curious as to how everything will turn out.

They are jumping in the Phoenix market as well. Like LV we have long been an attraction for investors. We already have OpenDoor and OfferPad beating us up, Zillow will only add to the competition. Fortunately, they play mostly in the lower price points (for now). Luxury homes require a little more work/effort.

Home homers do not want to wait long for their equity. Sell it to a company and someone make some cosmetic improvements and put it back on the market.

Many years ago, I was transferring and that option was available already. Kind of low, I sold it as a realtor actually double ended to save commission for my employer.
