, Parcl Labs co-founder, said the company only tracks the top iBuying markets nationally, but how those iBuyers react to the changing market will be felt more dramatically in those markets.

DelPrete said iBuyers may look to introduce more asset-light programs, as keeping homes on a balance sheet has proven a huge risk amid the recent market downturn. But the current housing market is proving to be a rigorous stress test for startups and business models that launched or grew amid an unusually hot housing market from the Covid-19 pandemic.
