Buying and selling homes directly certainly seemed like a smart play for the company.

These data are what make up the company’s ubiquitous Zestimates, its proprietary automated home valuation model. We can only assume these Zestimates were the primary data point being used when the company made an offer to purchase a home.

Sounds like a slam dunk for Zillow. So what went wrong? A couple of assumptions:
