Opendoor Lifts Home Acquisitions 45% as AI Strategy Cuts 120-Day Inventory to 10%

Summary
Q1 2026 acquisition volume rose 45% from Q4 2025, and CEO Kaz Nejatian said acquisition contracts doubled quarter over quarter as Opendoor accelerated its turnaround.
That momentum came from a strategy shift: instead of betting on housing-market direction, Opendoor is using AI to buy homes it believes it can resell quickly.
Homes held for more than 120 days fell to 10%, down from 33% at the end of Q3 and 55% in Q3 2025, while recent selling cohorts moved faster than any comparable period since COVID.
The gains stand out against a weak U.S. housing market, where 5.8% of listings were de-listed in April 2026 and some states reached 10% as high mortgage rates, inflation and elevated prices squeezed buyers.
Opendoor is still losing money, leaving the broader question unresolved: whether large-scale home flipping can become sustainably profitable even with faster inventory turns.
