Survey: 2 of 3 homeowners think they\u2019d make less money using an iBuyer \u2013 but they\u2019d consider an iBuyer if it makes home selling faster and easier.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

NEW YORK \u2013 Sixty-six percent of homeowners recently surveyed say they don\u2019t believe iBuyers yield higher sales prices than traditional sales. However, a nearly equal number say they would consider using an iBuyer due to the flexible options for selling, according to a new survey from Clever Real Estate finds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The number of iBuyer companies and services has grown over the last few years. They offer buyers the ability to sell their house quickly with an instant cash offer and set a convenient closing date.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While survey respondents mostly said they don\u2019t believe iBuyers offer more at closing, they said they would be willing to accept an average of $45,400 less for their home in order to sell it instantly and choose their closing date, the survey finds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But three out of four (72%) of homeowners still want to work with a real estate agent when requesting offers from iBuyers. As a result, some brokerages have added iBuying arms, such as Keller Offers, RedfinNow, RealSure and others, to their companies to empower agents to guide instant-offer transactions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, 65% of homeowners would consider selling their home to an iBuyer. Millennial respondents were more open to the idea (72%) versus baby boomers (52%).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Still, iBuyers make up a relatively small share of the market. Even though the iBuyer real estate model is nearly a decade old, only 27% of about 1,000 homeowners surveyed by Clever Real Estate could correctly define what an iBuyer is. The sales strategy is still relatively uncommon; iBuyers comprised just 1.3% of home sales in 2021.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe sentiment around iBuyers is complicated because the average American homeowner isn\u2019t completely against them, but also doesn\u2019t know much about them,\u201d the Clever Real Estate survey finds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
