Home Depot Sales Could Soften Due To Tariffs

One of Home Depot’s critical sales metrics is expected to slow when it reports earnings. That’s according to a report Monday (May 19) from Bloomberg News, citing a survey of analysts who say the home improvement retailer’s comparable sales are projected to soften. The report noted that investors will gauge the company’s results as an indicator of how tariff concerns and declining consumer sentiment may affect the housing market. “There’s more risk to the numbers than we would’ve thought at the beginning of the year,” said Michael Baker, an analyst for D.A. Davidson. “I would not be surprised if it takes a little bit of a step back.”

Zillow Responds To Rocket’S Planned $1.75B Acquisition Of Redfin

(Zillow Image)Rocket Companies’ planned $1.75 billion acquisition of Seattle-based brokerage Redfin sparked questions about a potential competitive threat to fellow Seattle real estate company Zillow Group, another key player in the digital real estate arena. Rocket, the nation’s largest mortgage lender, has ambitions to become more of a comprehensive platform for home ownership, including researching and looking at listings, said Tom White, a senior equity research analyst with D.A. Davidson.The acquisition of Redfin could accelerate that strategy, but it’s too early to say whether the deal will materially threaten Zillow’s leadership of online home search, White said.Zillow is far and away the largest online real estate portal as measured by traffic.Bobby Mollins, director of internet research at Gordon Haskett, doesn’t think Rocket’s acquisition of Redfin will impact Zillow. He pointed to web traffic trends in recent years — Redfin reported a 3% drop in site traffic, to 42.6 million average monthly users, in its Q4 recent earnings report. Zillow, meanwhile, reported a 3% increase in traffic to 204 million monthly unique users. There is also risk that the integration of Redfin into Rocket doesn’t go according to plan, which could cause Redfin to lose both web traffic and market share, Mollins noted

Could Zillow Buy Redfin? New Rentals Partnership Brings Real Estate Rivals Closer Together

(Photos via Bigstock, Redfin)Zillow Group and Redfin are long-time competitors. So when the Seattle-based real estate technology giants announced a key partnership earlier this month, it got us thinking: could the companies join forces in a bigger way in the future?Zillow is paying Redfin $100 million upfront as part of a new licensing deal that makes Zillow the exclusive provider of multifamily rental listings on Redfin and its subsidiaries, Rent.com and ApartmentGuide.com.The partnership helps Zillow invest deeper into its rentals business, which it estimates could be a billion-dollar or more revenue opportunity.Redfin, which is laying off 450 employees as part of the deal, will get additional revenue from leads generated via its network of sites. “We’re very excited about the partnership with Redfin,” Zillow CEO Jeremy Wacksman said on the company’s Feb. 11 earnings call. “We’re very similar mission companies. We’re trying to digitize the industry and turn on the lights
