Opendoor reported second quarter revenue of $883 million, missing analyst estimates of $899.9 million and marking a 43.7% year-on-year decline. The company posted an adjusted loss per share of $0.03 and negative adjusted EBITDA of $4 million. CEO Kasra Nejatian attributed the weak performance to challenging conditions in the US housing market, calling it "the weakest housing market in a generation". Operating margin fell to negative 16.3%, down from negative 0.8% in the prior year period. Despite the losses, Nejatian reaffirmed the company's profitability target, stating Opendoor expects to "become ANI profitable on a 12-month go-forward basis at the end of this year". Management highlighted operational improvements, including growing home acquisitions and cost reductions, though these were offset by muted demand.

Operations expense per acquisition close decreased from $5,000 to $3,000 year over year. Properties sitting on the market for 120 days or more fell to 9%, below the 27% industry average.
