Is Zillow manipulating the housing market? While Zillow is increasing its corporate profits, it is locking regular Americans out of the Housing Market. Zillow typically comes in and makes a cash offer on a home for over the asking price. Then they turn around, in a matter of weeks, and re-list the home at a price 10-20% higher than what they bought it for.
Zillow raises the money to fund their cash offer, a home-buying program with low-interest rate credit facilities from Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse. This means that a publicly-traded company is leveraging the easy money environment creates by the Federal Reserve to price Americans out of their homes.
