When you run the numbers like this guy did, you can see why Zillow has gone down in flames. https://sellhousecashaz.com/zi... "

“In Phoenix, 36.5% of properties currently for sale were listed below their purchase price, while the remainder of the 93% started higher, only to have price reductions.”

Zillow plans to take writedowns of as much as $569 million, according to Bloomberg.

The stock, needless to say, is not happy after hours - dropping as much as 10% in extended trading, only to see buyers reel it in to flat as of this writing.

Who could have guessed that paying market price for homes and betting on price appreciation wouldn’t work out?
