Agreed. One thing this article doesn't point out that was a bigger topic a couple of weeks prior is that Zillow had to halt purchases due to lack of workers to help flip the homes [1]. The iBuying revenue model depends on the ability to flip a home quickly so that market fluctuations do not have enough time to pose as a risk, which Zillow was willing to take.
