Opendoor Technologies Inc. (OPEN Quick QuoteOPEN - Free Report) entered the second half of 2025 with a stronger liquidity position as the housing market remains under pressure. The iBuyer ended the second quarter with $1.1 billion in total capital, including $789 million in unrestricted cash, while carrying $1.5 billion of net housing inventory across 4,538 homes. In May, the company issued $325 million of convertible senior notes due in 2030, extending maturities on $246 million of existing convertible debt by four years and adding $75 million of incremental cash.

This balance sheet strengthening is particularly relevant as transaction volumes decline. Management guided for sequential revenue drops in both the third and fourth quarters of 2025, citing persistently high mortgage rates, weaker buyer demand, and an unfavorable mix of older, lower-margin inventory. The added liquidity provides a critical buffer, ensuring Opendoor can navigate a period when contribution margins are expected to compress toward the low end of its target range.

Importantly, the financing framework also highlights Opendoor’s continued access to credit markets. With $7.8 billion in nonrecourse asset-backed borrowing capacity, including $2 billion of committed lines, the company maintains flexibility to fund acquisitions when market spreads narrow. The combination of unrestricted cash, borrowing headroom and extended maturities signals a proactive approach to liquidity management.

Looking ahead, Opendoor’s ability to balance liquidity preservation with growth investments will be a central investor focus. While near-term financial results remain pressured by macro headwinds, the strengthened cash position provides runway for the company to weather volatility and continue executing its long-term pivot toward a more capital-efficient business model.

Comparisons With Peers

Zillow Group (Z Quick QuoteZ - Free Report) is advancing its own balance sheet strategy with a focus on capital efficiency and shareholder returns. The company ended the second quarter with $1.2 billion in cash and investments. Following the settlement of $419 million of convertible notes in May, Zillow is now convertible debt-free. The company's disciplined capital allocation is further demonstrated by its share repurchase program, which saw the repurchase of $150 million in stock in the second quarter. With a remaining share repurchase authorization of $981 million, management expects to be more selective in its repurchases for the rest of 2025. This focus on a strong, low-leverage balance sheet is a result of Zillow's pivot away from its capital-intensive iBuying business and toward a more profitable, asset-light marketplace model.

This disciplined approach is positioning Offerpad to maintain a comfortable runway as it works toward achieving profitability and reducing its reliance on cash on hand.
