The hubris of that. AI can be smart but housing prices are not built on anything logical. It was doomed to fail

House flippers are part of the issue with the country.

Oh, this house was $100k, which a family needed and could afford, but now its worth $1.5 million and only a wealthy person can buy it! Profit for me, though!

The shitty part is that it probably still undercut the sellers, so it was a lose-lose all around.

Cant blame them for trying

It was an interesting idea and potentially a good way to make real estate more liquid for everyone

But im not totally surprised it was a bust

The original owners would have sold it for $1.5mil too if thats what the market could support
This isnt something specific to home flippers

How is it more liquid when they inflated the prices so much they pushed out first time homebuyers?

It's not because they are going to sell to companies like Blackrock who will permanently remove those house from the purchase market by making them rental properties. Thus making the housing market's prices inflate even higher.

Im talking about when they do unnecessary renovations that force the price up. Instead of selling it as is for an affordable price, they renovate it until its property value skyrockets and most of us cant afford it anymore.

IIRC they have something like $2-$3 BILLION tied up in this that they have to get rid of.

If they are buying a high volume of homes, they are increasing liquidity

And the fhb's can just buy from zillow later

yes, typically things that have more valuable components are usually more expensive...

Increasing the supply of nice/remodeled homes will lower the price of nice/remodeled homes, so your first house wont have to be a crapshack

AI is only as good as how it is written. To write really good AI you really need a bunch of people with PHDs in mathematics.

You can get people who can write the algorithms for less but then you end up in this kind of situation.
