Opendoor Narrows Losses and Expands Agent Partnerships Amid Market Challenges

May 8, 2025

The U.S. iBuyer, Opendoor Technologies reported its first-quarter 2025 financial results, showcasing some small progress toward profitability despite a slight dip in revenue. Highlights from the company's report to the market include:

  • Revenue of $1.2 billion, a 2% decrease year-over-year but a 6% increase from Q4 2024.
  • Net loss of $85 million, improved from $109 million in Q1 2024.
  • An Adjusted EBITDA loss of $30 million, better than the $50 million loss in Q1 2024.
  • The number of homes sold was 2,946, down 4% year-over-year. The number of homes purchased was 3,609, a 4% increase year-over-year.

Opendoor managed to reduce losses despite the revenue dip over the first three months of the year and what the company referred to as an "extremely challenging macroeconomic environment". Commenting on the results, CEO Carrie Wheeler said:

"Our first-quarter results reflect disciplined execution: we improved Adjusted EBITDA and sharply reduced Adjusted Net Losses. We are investing in our future—evolving Opendoor into a broader selling platform, one that gives every homeowner more choice—whether that’s a cash offer or listing with a trusted agent."

The Arizona-based iBuyer also revealed that it is piloting a program in 11 markets to refer sellers to trusted agents, aiming to enhance conversion rates and provide more options to homeowners.

Despite operational improvements, Opendoor's stock remains under pressure, trading below $1 and risking potential delisting. Fellow U.S. iBuyer Opendoor is also currently trading under $1 and could face delisting from the exchange.
