Investors are suing Zillow Group, the online real estate marketplace, alleging that the company misled shareholders about the performance and prospects of its home-buying business, known as Zillow Offers. Plaintiffs claim that Zillow made overly optimistic statements about its ability to use algorithms to accurately price homes for purchase and resale, while concealing serious problems with its pricing models and inventory management. When Zillow abruptly shut down Zillow Offers in late 2021 and announced it would take massive losses on homes it had purchased, the stock price dropped sharply. The proposed class includes investors who purchased Zillow securities during the period when the company was allegedly making these misleading statements, causing those investors to overpay for shares and suffer financial losses when the truth emerged.
