The fact that they're also laying off a quarter of their staff looks significant, to me. They can't afford to hold these properties and keep the lights on. It's a lot like Uber -- in addition to the ordinary expenses of a real estate holding firm, they've also got a website to run, and that's stupid expensive because it seems like the industry still hasn't learned from the first .com bubble.

Is it not that they have a lot of people who are involved in buying and selling homes whose services are no longer needed?
