Our new businesses have built the infrastructure and delivered the results needed for more rapid expansion, with significant margin gains in mortgage and title, and integrated field execution for instant-offers and the brokerage. The years of work we've invested in each of these businesses are now positioning us to be the first to deliver a complete solution at a national scale for people moving from one home to the next."
Highlights
- Reached market share of 0.94% of U.S. existing home sales by value in the second quarter of 2019, an increase of 0.11 percentage points from the first quarter of 2019, and an increase of 0.11 percentage points from the second quarter of 2018.(1)
- Continued to drive strong traffic growth, with visitors to our website and mobile application increasing by 27% over the second quarter of 2018.
- Saved Redfin homebuyers and sellers over $54 million in the second quarter, compared to a 2.5% commission typically charged by traditional agents.
- Expanded brokerage service to Vancouver, BC and Des Moines, IA. Redfin is now reaching customers across 92 markets and serves 78% of the U.S. population.
- Rolled out a new Buyer Deal Room on both iOS and Android to help our homebuyers stay up to date on key milestones and to-dos in their home purchase right from our mobile application.
- Added marketing stats to our sellers' personalized dashboard to show them all of the ways Redfin is marketing their home to likely buyers through email, social media, and push notifications.
- Expanded Redfin Mortgage to Florida, Maryland, and Tennessee. Invested in our proprietary efficiency tools and software for our mortgage team to further streamline the preapproval, underwriting, and closing process.
- Rolled out a new Redfin Mortgage closing disclosure tool that is saving our closing department 50 minutes per loan.
- Expanded RedfinNow to Denver. As of the end of the second quarter, RedfinNow was also available in Dallas, TX, Los Angeles, San Diego, Inland Empire, and Orange County, CA.
- Rolled out integrated home-selling consultations to Denver, where a Redfin listing agent now presents the RedfinNow cash offer alongside her presentation of what the home could list for on the open market. This service is also available in Dallas.
- Developed software that lets people unlock a RedfinNow listing from their smartphone and tour on demand. It is now available in Dallas, San Diego, and the Inland Empire.
- Launched Redfin Direct in Boston, allowing unrepresented homebuyers to make offers on Redfin listings using a step-by-step online tool, which in turn can help Redfin sellers save money in buyer agent commission fees. During the second quarter, our listings received 52 Direct offers, resulting in 4 closings.
- Opened a new office in Frisco, TX for our rapidly growing mortgage, RedfinNow, and brokerage teams. It's also a new engineering hub for Redfin, our first outside of Seattle and San Francisco. These engineers will sit alongside our brokerage, title, and mortgage teams and build technology to deliver a complete home buying and selling solution to our customers.
(1) We calculate the aggregate value of U.S. home sales by multiplying the total number of U.S. existing home sales by the mean sale price of these homes, each as reported by the National Association of REALTORS®. We calculate our market share by aggregating the home value of transactions conducted by our lead agents or our partner agents. Then, in order to account for both the sell- and buy-side components of each transaction, we divide that value by two-times the estimated aggregate value of U.S. home sales.
