they were trying to be a, quote, market maker in the business. And it turned out that what they were really doing was being more of a speculator, right? ... one could argue this was flawed from the beginning. The execution clearly was way off. ... the maturity of a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who's crushed it so many times doesn't mean that they're perfect. And this was a big miss.
Chamath Chamath support ×3 ▼ on 📈 Zillow's iBuyer collapse is structural, not a stumble E54 · 2021-11-06 ▶ 40:46
it speaks to two big mistakes that Zillow made. The first is that catching a wave of disruption is very difficult when you have an old line business that is fundamentally competitive with the new line of business. ... Zestimate over time basically calcified this idea of price inflation. So the accuracy was never a goal. ... the open door margin on average is about 10%. The Zillow margin on average was 3%. So they had a much more razor thin margin of safety here, which again speaks to pricing.
