Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This annual report contains forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this report other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans, our market growth and trends, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” "hope," “potentially,” “preliminary,” “likely,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described under Item 1A. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the effect of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, performance, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this report or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations. Note Regarding Industry and Market Data This annual report contains information using industry publications that generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but such information may not be accurate or complete. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding the information from these industry publications, we have not independently verified any of the data from third-party sources nor have we ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied on therein. i Table of Contents Item 1. Business Overview PART I We help people buy and sell homes. Representing customers in over 100 markets in the United States, we are a residential real estate brokerage. We pair our own agents with our own technology to create a service that is faster, better, and costs less. We meet customers through our listings-search website and mobile application. We use the same combination of technology and local service to originate mortgage loans and offer title and settlement services. Beginning in April 2021, we also offer digital platforms to connect consumers with available apartments and houses for rent. Our mission is to redefine real estate in the consumer’s favor. Representing Customers Our brokerage efficiency results in savings that we share with our customers. We charge most home sellers a commission of 1% to 1.5%, compared to the 2.5% to 3% typically charged by traditional brokerages. The results of our customer-first approach are clear. We: • • • • • • helped customers buy or sell more than 497,000 homes worth more than $249 billion through 2022; saved customers more than $1.5 billion, when compared to a 2.5% commission, since our launch in 2006; drew more than 49 million monthly average visitors to our website and mobile application in 2022, 5% more compared to 2021; had customers buy and sell the same home with us at a 32% higher rate than competing brokerages; sold Redfin-listed homes for nearly $1,800 more on average than competing brokerages’ similar listings in 2022, according to a study we commissioned; and had listings on the market for an average of less than 23 days in 2021 compared to the industry average of more than 26 days, according to a study we commissioned; and, according to the same study, approximately 97% of Redfin listings sold within 90 days versus the industry average of approximately 95%. To serve customers when our own agents can’t due to high demand or geographic limitations, we’ve developed partnerships with over 8,700 agents at other brokerages. Once we refer a customer to a partner agent, that agent, not us, represents the customer from the initial meeting through closing, at which point the agent pays us a portion of her commission as a referral fee. Complete Customer Solution Our long-term goal is to combine brokerage, rentals, mortgage, and title services into one solution, sharing information, coordinating deadlines, and streamlining processes so that a consumer's move is easier and often less costly. As we integrate these services more closely over time, we believe we can help consumers move much more efficiently than a combination of stand-alone companies ever could. Bay Equity underwrites mortgage loans and, after originating each loan, Bay Equity sells most of the loans to third-party mortgage investors, retains a small amount of mortgage servicing rights, and services a small portfolio of loans. Bay Equity is licensed in 49 states and the District of Columbia. These markets accounted for 84% of our brokerage's buy-side transactions in 2022. Title Forward offers title and settlement services. Title Forward has officially launched in 27 markets across eight states and the District of Columbia. These markets accounted for 45% of our brokerage's transactions in 2022. 1 Table of Contents RedfinNow bought homes directly from homeowners and resells them to homebuyers. In November 2022, we decided to wind-down RedfinNow and expect to complete the liquidation of our RedfinNow inventory in the second quarter of 2023. Rent. offers an end-to-end digital marketing platform that connects consumers with available apartments and houses for rent across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Competition The residential brokerage industry is highly fragmented, with numerous active licensed agents and brokerages, and is evolving rapidly in response to technological advancements, changing customer preferences, and new offerings. We compete primarily against other residential real estate brokerages, which include franchise operations affiliated with national or local brands, and small independent brokerages. We also compete with hybrid residential brokerages, which combine Internet technology and brokerage services, and a growing number of others that operate with non-traditional real estate business models. Competition is particularly intense in some of the densely populated metropolitan markets we serve, as they are dominated by entrenched real estate brokerages and are the primary markets for innovative and well-capitalized new entrants. We believe we compete primarily based on: access to timely, accurate data about homes for sale; traffic to our website and mobile application, which themselves are subject to competition against real estate data websites that aggregate listings and sell advertising to traditional brokers; the speed and quality of our service, including agent responsiveness and local knowledge; our ability to hire and retain agents who deliver the best customer service; the costs of delivering our service and the price of our service to consumers; consumer awareness of our service and the effectiveness of our marketing efforts; technological innovation; and depth and breadth of local referral networks. • • • • • • • • Bay Equity competes with numerous national and local multi-product banks as well as focused mortgage originators. We compete primarily on service, product selection, interest rates, and origination fees. Title Forward competes with numerous national and local companies that typically focus solely on these services. We compete primarily on timeliness of service and fees. Rent. competes with companies that provide an online marketplace for residential rental listings and related digital marketing solutions. We compete primarily on the scope and quality of listings we offer on our digital platforms, our value-added digital marketing solutions, traffic generated through our websites and mobile applications, and the breadth of our broader marketing services. Seasonality For the impact of seasonality on our business, see "Quarterly Results of Operations and Key Business Metrics" under Item 7. 2 Table of Contents Our Lead Agents Our goal is to be the best employer in real estate. At the heart of this goal is an investment in the real estate agents who directly help our customers buy and sell homes. We refer to these agents as our lead agents. Unlike traditional real estate brokerages, where agents work as independent contractors, we employ our lead agents and pay them a salary, offer them an opportunity to earn additional cash and equity compensation, and provide them with health insurance and other benefits. As a result, our lead agents in 2022 earned a median income that was more than two times as much as agents at competing brokerages. Also in 2022, our lead agents were, on average, more than twice as productive as agents at competing brokerages. Our investment in our lead agents has resulted in a significant competitive advantage in agent retention. From 2020 to 2021, our lead agent retention was 77% compared with 66% for the industry, and from 2021 to 2022 (which was impacted by our layoffs) our retention was 66% compared with 61% for the industry. Our ability to attract, develop, and retain lead agents is critical to our success. As of December 31, 2022, we had 5,572 employees. For 2022, our average number of lead agents was 2,426. See "Key Business Metrics - Average Number of Lead Agents" under Item 7. Our Executive Officers Below is information regarding our executive officers. Each executive officer holds office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until the officer’s earlier resignation, disqualification, or removal. • Glenn Kelman, age 52, has served as our chief executive officer since September 2005 and one of our directors since March 2006. • • • • • • Bridget Frey, age 45, has been employed by us since June 2011 and has served as our chief technology officer since February 2015. Anthony Kappus, age 42, has been employed by us since March 2014 and has served as our chief legal officer since May 2021. Mr. Kappus previously served as our senior vice president - legal affairs from August 2018 to May 2021 and vice president - legal from September 2014 to August 2018. Chris Nielsen, age 56, has served as our chief financial officer since June 2013. Anna Stevens, age 49, has served as our chief human resources officer since August 2022. Prior to joining Redfin, Ms. Stevens served as the Chief People Officer of HD Supply, Inc., a North American industrial distributor. Christian Taubman, age 44, has served as our chief growth officer since April 2021. Mr. Taubman previously served as our chief product officer from October 2019 to April 2021. Prior to joining Redfin, Mr. Taubman served in several different roles with Amazon (a technology company) from April 2011 to October 2019. As Director - Smart Home Verticals from December 2017 to October 2019, Mr. Taubman led employees in product management, software engineering, and program management, with the mission of helping customers to connect more smart devices to Amazon's Alexa virtual assistant. Adam Wiener, age 44, has been employed by us since October 2007 and has served as our president of real estate operations since April 2021. Mr. Wiener previously served as our chief growth officer from July 2015 to April 2021. Our Regulatory Environment The residential real estate industry is heavily regulated by federal, state, and local governments in the United States. Because of our complete customer solution approach of combining brokerage, rentals, mortgage, title services, a customer may be able to receive more than one real estate-related service from us. Accordingly, some government regulations affect more than one of our operating segments and may impact our ability to offer multiple services to the same customer. 3 Table of Contents For example, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 restricts, with some exceptions, kickbacks or referral fees that real estate settlement service providers, such as brokerages, mortgage originators, and title and closing service providers, may pay or receive in connection with the referral of settlement services. Furthermore, the Fair Housing Act of 1968 (the “FHA”) prohibits discrimination in the purchase or sale of homes. The FHA applies to real estate agents, mortgage lenders, title companies, and home sellers, such as RedfinNow, as well as many forms of advertising and communications, including MLS listings and insights about home listings. Additionally, our brokerage, mortgage, and title business each requires a license specific to its business from each state in which it operates, and the licensing requirements vary by state. Furthermore, some of our employees who provide services for these businesses must also hold individual licenses. These entity and individual licenses may be costly to obtain and maintain, which may adversely affect our company’s earnings. Our Website and Public Filings Our website is www.redfin.com. Through this website, we make available, free of charge, our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to these reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as soon as reasonably practicable after we file such material with, or furnish it to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). 4 Table of Contents Item 1A. Risk Factors You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all other information in this annual report, before investing in any of our securities. The occurrence of any single risk or any combination of risks could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition, liquidity, or competitive position, and consequently, the value of our securities. The material adverse effects include, but are not limited to, not growing our revenue or market share at the pace that they have grown historically or at all, our revenue and market share fluctuating on a quarterly and annual basis, an extension of our history of losses and a failure to become profitable, not achieving the revenue and net income (loss) guidance that we provide, and harm to our reputation and brand. Risks Related to Our Business and Industry Our business depends significantly on the health of the U.S. residential real estate industry and macroeconomic factors. Our success depends largely on the health of the U.S. residential real estate industry. This industry, in turn, is affected by changes in general economic conditions, which are beyond our control. Any of the following factors could reduce the volume of residential real estate transactions, cause a decline in the prices at which homes are bought and sold, or otherwise adversely affect the industry and harm our business: • • • • • • seasonal or cyclical downturns in the U.S. residential real estate industry, which may be due to any single factor, or a combination of factors, listed below, or factors which are currently not known to us or that have not historically affected the industry; slow economic growth or recessionary conditions; increased unemployment rates or stagnant or declining wages; inflationary conditions; low consumer confidence in the economy or the U.S. residential real estate industry; adverse changes in local or regional economic conditions in the markets that we serve, particularly our top-10 markets and markets into which we are attempting to expand; • • increased mortgage rates; reduced availability of mortgage financing; or increased down payment requirements; low home inventory levels, which may result from zoning regulations, higher construction costs, and housing market uncertainty that discourages some home sellers, among other factors; • • • lack of affordably priced homes, which may result from home prices growing faster than wages, among other factors; volatility and general declines in the stock market or lower yields on individuals' investment portfolios; increased expenses associated with home ownership, including rising insurance costs that may result from more frequent and severe natural disasters and inclement weather; • newly enacted and potential federal, state, and local legislative actions, as well as new judicial decisions, that would affect the residential real estate industry generally or in our top-10 markets, including (i) actions or decisions that would increase the tax liability arising from buying, selling, or owning real estate, (ii) actions or decisions that would change the way real estate brokerage commissions are negotiated, calculated, or paid, and (iii) actions or decisions that would discourage individuals from owning, or obtaining a mortgage on, more than one home, and (iv) potential reform relating to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and other government sponsored entities that provide liquidity to the mortgage market; • changes that cause U.S. real estate to be more expensive for foreign purchases, such as (i) increases in the exchange rate for the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies and (ii) foreign regulatory changes or capital controls that make it more difficult for foreign purchasers to withdraw capital from their home countries or purchase and hold U.S. real estate; • changed generational views on homeownership and generally decreased financial resources available for purchasing homes; and 5 Table of Contents • war, terrorism, political uncertainty, natural disasters, inclement weather, health epidemics or pandemics, and acts of God, including the affect of COVID-19 on the residential real estate market in the United States. Our real estate services segment, which is our largest segment by gross profit, is concentrated in certain geographic markets. Our failure to adapt to any substantial shift in the relative percentage of residential housing transactions from these markets to other markets in the United States could adversely affect our financial performance. For the year ended December 31, 2022, our top-10 markets by real estate services revenue consisted of the metropolitan areas of Boston, Chicago, Denver (including Boulder and Colorado Springs), Los Angeles (including Santa Barbara), Maryland, Northern Virginia, Portland (including Bend), San Diego, San Francisco, and Seattle. Local and regional conditions in these markets may differ significantly from prevailing conditions in the United States or other parts of the country. Accordingly, events may adversely and disproportionately affect demand for and sales prices of homes in these markets. Any overall or disproportionate downturn in demand or home prices in any of our largest markets, particularly if we are unable to increase revenue from our other markets, could adversely affect growth of our revenue and market share or otherwise harm our business. Our top markets are primarily major metropolitan areas, where home prices and transaction volumes are generally higher than other markets. As a result, our real estate services revenue and gross margin are generally higher in these markets than in our smaller markets. To the extent there is a long-term net migration to cities outside of these markets, the relative percentage of residential housing transactions may shift away from the top markets where we have historically generated most of our revenue. Our inability to adapt to any shift, including failing to increase revenue from other markets, could adversely affect our financial performance and market share. Competition in each of our lines of business is intense. Many of our competitors across each of our businesses have substantial competitive advantages, such as longer operating histories, stronger brand recognition, greater financial resources, more management, sales, marketing and other resources, superior local referral networks, perceived local knowledge and expertise, and extensive relationships with participants in the residential real estate industry, including third-party data providers such as multiple listing services ("MLSs"). Consequently, these competitors may have an advantage in recruiting and retaining agents, attracting consumers, and growing their businesses. They may also be able to provide consumers with offerings that are different from or superior to those we provide. The success of our competitors could result in our loss of market share and harm our business. We may be unable to maintain or improve our current technology offerings at a competitive level or develop new technology offerings that meet customer or agent expectations. Our technology offerings may also contain undetected errors or vulnerabilities. Our technology offerings, including tools, features, and products, are key to our competitive plan for attracting potential customers and hiring and retaining lead agents. Maintaining or improving our current technology to meet evolving industry standards and customer and agent expectations, as well as developing commercially successful and innovative new technology, is challenging and expensive. For example, the nature of development cycles may result in delays between the time we incur expenses and the time we introduce new technology and generate revenue, if any, from those investments. Anticipated customer demand for a technology offering could also decrease after the development cycle has commenced, and we would not be able to recoup costs, which may be substantial, we incurred. As standards and expectations evolve and new technology becomes available, we may be unable to identify, design, develop, and implement, in a timely and cost-effective manner, new technology offerings to meet those standards and expectations. As a result, we may be unable to compete effectively, and to the extent our competitors develop new technology offerings faster than us, they may render our offerings noncompetitive or obsolete. Additionally, even if we implemented new technology offerings in a timely manner, our customers and agents may not accept or be satisfied by the offerings. 6 Table of Contents Furthermore, our development and testing processes may not detect errors and vulnerabilities in our technology offerings prior to their implementation. Any inefficiencies, errors, technical problems, or vulnerabilities arising in our technology offerings after their release could reduce the quality of our services or interfere with our customers' and agents' access to and use of our technology and offerings. We may be unable to obtain and provide comprehensive and accurate real estate listings quickly, or at all. We believe that users of our website and mobile application come to us primarily because of the real estate listing data that we provide. Accordingly, if we were unable to obtain and provide comprehensive and accurate real estate listings data, our primary channels for meeting customers will be diminished. We get listings data primarily from MLSs in the markets we serve. We also source listings data from public records, other third-party listing providers, and individual homeowners and brokers. Many of our competitors and other real estate websites also have access to MLSs and other listings data, including proprietary data, and may be able to source listings data or other real estate information faster or more efficiently than we can. Since MLS participation is voluntary, brokers and homeowners may decline to post their listings data to their local MLS or may seek to change or limit the way that data is distributed. A competitor or another industry participant could also create an alternative listings data service, which may reduce the relevancy and comprehensive nature of the MLSs. If MLSs cease to be the predominant source of listings data in the markets that we serve, we may be unable to get access to comprehensive listings data on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, which may result in fewer people using our website and mobile application. We rely on business data to make decisions and drive our machine-learning technology, and errors or inaccuracies in such data may adversely affect our business decisions and the customer experience. We regularly analyze business data to evaluate growth trends, measure our performance, establish budgets, and make strategic decisions. While our business decisions are based on what we believe to be reasonable calculations for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring and interpreting the data, and we cannot be certain that the data are accurate. Errors or inaccuracies in the data could result in poor business decisions, resource allocation, or strategic initiatives. For example, if we overestimate traffic to our website and mobile application, we may not invest an adequate amount of resources in attracting new customers or we may hire more lead agents in a given market than necessary to meet customer demand. We also use our business data and proprietary algorithms to inform our machine learning, such as in the calculation of our Redfin Estimate , which provides an estimate on the market value of individual homes. If customers disagree with us or if our Redfin Estimate fails to accurately reflect market pricing such that we are unable to attract homebuyers or help our customers sell their homes at satisfactory prices, or at all, customers may lose confidence in us. We may be unable to attract homebuyers and home sellers to our website and mobile application in a cost-effective manner. Our website and mobile application are our primary channels for meeting new customers. Accordingly, our success depends on our ability to attract homebuyers and home sellers to our website and mobile application in a cost-effective manner. To meet customers, we rely heavily on traffic generated from search engines and downloads of our mobile application from mobile application stores. We also rely on marketing methods such as targeted email campaigns, paid search advertising, social media marketing, and traditional media, including TV, radio, and billboards. 7 Table of Contents The number of visitors to our website and downloads of our mobile application depend in large part on how and where our website and mobile application rank in Internet search results and mobile application stores, respectively. While we use search engine optimization to help our website rank highly in search results, maintaining or improving our search result rankings is not within our control. Internet search engines frequently update and change their ranking algorithms, referral methodologies, or design layouts, which determine the placement and display of a user’s search results. In some instances, Internet search engines may change these rankings, which may have the effect of promoting their own competing services or the services of one or more of our competitors. Similarly, mobile application stores can change how they display searches and how mobile applications are featured. For instance, editors at the Apple App Store can feature prominently editor-curated mobile applications and cause the mobile application to appear larger than other applications or more visibly on a featured list. Additionally, our marketing efforts may fail to attract the desired number of customers for a variety of reasons, including the possibility that the creative treatment for our advertisements may be ineffective or new third-party email delivery policies may make it more difficult for us to execute targeted email campaigns. If we are unable to deliver a rewarding experience on mobile devices, whether through our mobile website or mobile application, we may be unable to attract and retain customers. Developing and supporting a mobile website and mobile application across multiple operating systems and devices requires substantial time and resources. We may not be able to consistently provide a rewarding customer experience on mobile devices and, as a result, customers we meet through our mobile website or mobile application may not choose to use our services at the same rate as customers we meet through our website. As new mobile devices and mobile operating systems are released, we may encounter problems in developing or supporting our mobile website or mobile application for them. Developing or supporting our mobile website or mobile application for new devices and their operating systems may require substantial time and resources. The success of our mobile website and mobile application could also be harmed by factors outside of our control, such as: • • • increased costs to develop, distribute, or maintain our mobile website or mobile application; changes to the terms of service or requirements of a mobile application store that requires us to change our mobile application development or features in an adverse manner; and changes in mobile operating systems, such as Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android, that disproportionately affect us, degrade the functionality of our mobile website or mobile application, require that we make costly upgrades to our technology offerings, or give preferential treatment to competitors' websites or mobile applications. Our business model of employing lead agents subjects us to challenges not faced by our competitors. Our ability to hire and retain a sufficient number of lead agents is critical to our ability to maintain and grow our market share and to provide an adequate level of service to customers who want to work with our lead agents. As a result of our business model of employing our lead agents, our lead agents generally earn less on a per transaction basis than traditional agents who work as independent contractors at traditional brokerages. Because our model is uncommon in our industry, agents considering working for us may not understand our compensation model or may not perceive it to be more attractive than the independent contractor, commission-driven compensation model used by most traditional brokerages. Additionally, due to the costs of employing our lead agents, lead agent turnover may be more costly to us than to traditional brokerages. If we are unable to attract, retain, effectively train, motivate, and utilize lead agents, we will be unable to offset the costs of employing them and grow our business. We may also be required to change our compensation model, which could significantly increase our lead agent compensation or other costs. Also as a result of employing our lead agents, we incur costs that our brokerage competitors do not, such as base pay, employee benefits, expense reimbursement, training, and employee transactional support staff. Because of this, we have significant costs that, in the event of downturns in demand in the markets we serve, may result in us being unable to adjust as rapidly as some of our competitors. In turn, such downturns may impact us more than our competitors. 8 Table of Contents Conversely, in times of rapidly rising demand we may face a shortfall of lead agents. To the extent our customer demand increases from current levels, our ability to adequately serve the additional customers, and in turn grow our revenue and U.S. market share by value, depends, in part, on our ability to timely hire and retain additional lead agents. To the extent we are unable to hire, either timely or at all, or retain the required number of lead agents to serve our customer demand, we will be unable to maximize our revenue and market share growth. Although we are able to refer excess demand to our partner agents, historically our partner agents have closed transactions with customers they meet at a lower rate than our lead agents and have generated lower revenue per transaction. Referring customers to our partner agents may harm our business. We refer customers to third-party partner agents when we do not have a lead agent available due to high demand or geographic limitations. Our dependence on partner agents can be particularly heavy in certain new markets as we build our operations to scale in those markets or during times of rapidly rising demand for our services. Our partner agents are independent licensed agents affiliated with other brokerages, and we do not have any control over their actions. If our partner agents were to provide poor customer service, engage in malfeasance, or otherwise violate the laws and rules to which we are subject, we may be subject to legal claims and our reputation and business may be harmed. Our arrangements with third parties may limit our growth and brand awareness. For example, referring customers to partner agents potentially redirects repeat and referral opportunities to the partner agents. If we do not comply with the rules, terms of service, and policies of REALTOR® associations and MLSs, our access to and use of listings data may be restricted or terminated. We must comply with the rules, terms of service, and policies of REALTOR® associations and MLSs to access and use MLSs' listings data. We belong to numerous REALTOR® associations and MLSs, and each has adopted its own rules, terms of service, and policies governing, among other things, how MLS data may be used and how listings data must be displayed on our website and mobile application. These rules typically do not contemplate multi-jurisdictional online brokerages like ours and vary widely among markets. They also are in some cases inconsistent with the rules of other REALTOR® associations and MLSs such that we are required to customize our website, mobile application, or service to accommodate differences between rules of REALTOR® associations and MLSs. Complying with the rules of each REALTOR® association and MLS requires significant investment, including personnel, technology and development resources, and the exercise of considerable judgment. If we are deemed to be noncompliant with a REALTOR® association or MLS’s rules, we may face disciplinary sanctions in that association or MLS, which could include monetary fines, restricting or terminating our access to that MLS’s data, or other disciplinary measures. The loss or degradation of this listings data could materially and adversely affect traffic to our website and mobile application, making us less relevant to consumers and restricting our ability to attract customers. It also could reduce agent and customer confidence in our services and harm our business. If we fail to comply with the requirements governing the licensing of our brokerage, mortgage, and title businesses in the jurisdictions in which we operate, then our ability to operate those businesses in those jurisdictions may be revoked. Redfin, as a brokerage, and our agents must comply with the requirements governing the licensing and conduct of real estate brokerage and brokerage-related businesses in the markets where we operate. Furthermore, we are also required to comply with the requirements governing the licensing and conduct of mortgage and title and settlement businesses in the markets where we operate. Due to the geographic scope of our operations, we and our agents may not be in compliance with all of the required licenses at all times. Additionally, if we enter into new markets, we may become subject to additional licensing requirements. If we or our agents fail to obtain or maintain the required licenses for conducting our brokerage, mortgage, and title businesses or fail to strictly adhere to associated regulations, the relevant government authorities may order us to suspend relevant operations or impose fines or other penalties. 9 Table of Contents Our wind-down plan for our RedfinNow operations may adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial performance, and reputation. There are risks and uncertainties inherent to the wind-down of RedfinNow operations that could adversely impact our overall business, results of operations, financial performance, and reputation, including, but not limited to: • Our ability to operate RedfinNow during the wind-down period, including our ability to successfully complete ongoing renovations of homes we’ve purchased, and to market and close on the sale of homes in inventory, may be adversely impacted by market conditions or other factors which could lead to longer hold times for homes in inventory, increased holding, renovation, and transactions costs, lower sales prices, and an overall decrease in profitability. • Our financial projections and financial performance may be adversely impacted by, among other things, the accuracy of the estimates and assumptions related to the wind-down of RedfinNow operations on which our projections are based; other facts we discover that could require us to incur additional expense and record additional charges that may be materially different from our initial expectations about the financial performance of the business and the costs of the wind-down; and unanticipated changes to management’s estimates (including, but not limited to, the accounting for the estimated net realizable value of inventory), reserves, or allowances and future costs we incur, such as those related to warranty or consumer claims. • Our decision to wind-down our RedfinNow operations may have unintended impacts on our other business lines by, among other things, limiting our ability to meet new potential homebuyers and home sellers through marketing cash offers fulfilled by RedfinNow, limiting, and ultimately eliminating, the sale of RedfinNow-owned homes through our real estate services segment, and similarly impacting our title and settlement operations. • RedfinNow may have overestimated the amount it should pay to purchase a home, and homes owned by it may significantly decline in value prior to being sold. As a result, we may be required to significantly write down the inventory value of homes and, to the extent we are able to resell homes at all, resell them at a price that is substantially less than our costs of acquiring and renovating the homes. The extent to which the wind-down will impact our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Any of these risks could delay our wind-down of RedfinNow operations, increase costs and charges associated with the wind-down and disrupt the operations of our other businesses, any of which may adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial performance, and reputation. It’s possible that the net proceeds Bay Equity receives from the sale of mortgage loans it originates may not exceed the loan amount. Additionally, Bay Equity may also be unable to sell its originated loans at all. In that situation, Bay Equity will need to service the loans and potentially foreclose on the home by itself or through a third party, and either option could impose significant costs, time, and resources on Bay Equity. Bay Equity’s inability to sell its originated loans could also expose us to adverse market conditions affecting mortgage loans. Bay Equity intends to sell most of the mortgage loans that it originates to investors in the secondary mortgage market. Bay Equity's ability to sell its originated loans in the secondary market, and receive net proceeds from the sale that exceed the loan amount, depends largely on there being sufficient liquidity in the secondary market and its compliance with contracts with investors who have purchased the loans. 10 Table of Contents Demand in the secondary market for mortgage loans, and Bay Equity’s ability to sell the mortgage loans that it originates on favorable terms and in a timely manner, can be hindered by many factors, including changes in regulatory requirements, the willingness of the agencies, aggregators, or other investors to provide funding for and purchase mortgage loans, and general economic conditions. If Bay Equity were unable to sell its originated loans, either initially or following a repurchase, then it may need to service the loans and we would be exposed to adverse market conditions affecting mortgage loans. For example, we may be required to write down the value of the loan, which reduces the amount of our current assets. Additionally, if Bay Equity borrowed under a warehouse credit facility for the loan, then it will be required to repay the borrowed amount, which reduces our cash on hand that is available for other corporate uses. Finally, if a homeowner were unable to make his or her mortgage payments, then we may be required to foreclose on the home securing the loan. Bay Equity may be unable to retain its subservicer on economically feasible terms to foreclose a home. Furthermore, any proceeds from selling a foreclosed home may be significantly less than the remaining amount of the loan due to Bay Equity. The growth of Rent.'s business depends on its ability to attract property managers' advertising spending. Rent.'s growth depends on advertising revenue generated primarily through property managers. Rent.'s ability to attract and retain advertisers may be adversely affected by any of the following factors: • • • • • a prolonged period of high occupancy within rental properties; declining quantity and quality of renter leads it provides to property managers; its inability to keep pace with changes in technology and features expected by renters when visiting an online rental portal; its failure to offer an attractive return on investment to advertisers; and the inability of property managers to evict tenants for delinquent rent payments. Rent. does not have long-term contracts with many of its advertisers, and these advertisers may choose to end their relationships with Rent. with little or no advance notice. As Rent.'s existing subscriptions for advertising terminate, it may not be successful in securing new subscriptions. We may not realize the anticipated benefits from, and may incur substantial costs related to, our acquisitions of Rent. and Bay Equity. We acquired Rent. on April 2, 2021 and Bay Equity on April 1, 2022. The anticipated benefits of each acquisition may not come to fruition. Integrating Rent. and Bay Equity will be challenging and time consuming, and may subject us to additional costs that we have not anticipated in evaluating the transaction. Furthermore, GAAP requires us to test the goodwill associated with these acquisitions at least annually and we review our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment when events change indicate that an impairment may be appropriate. Depending on the results of these reviews, we may be required to record a non-cash charge to our earnings in the period we determined impairment was appropriate, which may negatively impact our results of operations in that period. 11 Table of Contents Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt our business or result in the loss of critical and confidential information. Cybersecurity incidents directed at us or our third-party service providers can range from uncoordinated individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to information technology systems to sophisticated and targeted measures known as advanced persistent threats. Cybersecurity incidents are also constantly evolving, increasing the difficulty of detecting and successfully defending against them. In the ordinary course of our business, we and our third-party service providers collect and store sensitive data, including our proprietary business information and intellectual property and that of our customers and employees, including personally identifiable information. Additionally, we rely on third-parties and their security procedures for the secure storage, processing, maintenance, and transmission of information that are critical to our operations. Despite measures designed to prevent, detect, address, and mitigate cybersecurity incidents, such incidents may occur to us or our third-party providers and, depending on their nature and scope, could potentially result in the misappropriation, destruction, corruption, or unavailability of critical data and confidential or proprietary information (our own or that of third parties, including personally identifiable information of our customers and employees) and the disruption of business operations. Any real or perceived compromises to our security, or that of our third- party providers, could cause customers to lose trust and confidence in us and stop using our website and mobile applications. In addition, we may incur significant costs for remediation that may include liability for stolen assets or information, repair of system damage, and compensation to customers, employees, and business partners. We may also be subject to government enforcement proceedings and legal claims by private parties. We process, transmit, and store personal information, and unauthorized access to, or the unintended release of, this information could result in a claim for damages, regulatory action, loss of business, or unfavorable publicity. We process, transmit, and store personal information to provide services to our customers and as an employer. As a result, we are subject to certain contractual terms, as well as federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations designed to protect personal information. While we take measures to protect the security and privacy of this information, it is possible that our security controls over personal data and other practices we follow may not prevent the unauthorized access to, or the unintended release of, personal information. If such unauthorized access or unintended release occurred, we could suffer significant damage to our brand and reputation, customers could lose confidence in the security and reliability of our services, and we could incur significant costs to address and fix these security incidents. These incidents could also lead to lawsuits and regulatory investigations and enforcement actions. We rely on third-party licensed technology, and the inability to maintain these licenses or errors in the software we license could result in increased costs or reduced service levels. We employ certain third-party software obtained under licenses from other companies in our technology. Our reliance on this third-party software may become costly if the licensor increases the price for the license or changes the terms of use and we cannot find commercially reasonable alternatives. Even if we were to find an alternative, integration of our technology with new third-party software may require substantial investment of our time and resources. Any undetected errors or defects in the third-party software we license could prevent the deployment or impair the functionality of our technology, delay new service offerings, or result in a failure of our website or mobile application. We use open source software in some aspects of our technology and may fail to comply with the terms of one or more of these open source licenses. Our technology incorporates software covered by open source licenses. The terms of various open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and if they were interpreted, such licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated restrictions on our technology. If portions of our proprietary software are determined to be subject to an open source license, we could be required to publicly release the affected portions of our source code, re-engineer all or a portion of our technologies, or otherwise be limited in our use of such software, each of which could reduce or eliminate the value of our technologies. 12 Table of Contents Moreover, our processes for controlling our use of open source software may not be effective. If we do not comply with the terms of an open source software license, we could be required to seek licenses from third parties to continue offering our services on terms that are not economically feasible, to re- engineer our technology to remove or replace the open source software, to discontinue the use of certain technology if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis, to pay monetary damages, to make generally available the source code for our proprietary technology, or to waive certain intellectual property rights. We may be unable to secure intellectual property protection for all of our technology and methodologies, enforce our intellectual property rights, or protect our other proprietary business information. Our success and ability to compete depends in part on our intellectual property and our other proprietary business information. To protect our proprietary rights, we rely on trademark, copyright, and patent law, trade-secret protection, and contractual provisions and restrictions. However, we may be unable to secure intellectual property protection for all of our technology and methodologies or the steps we take to enforce our intellectual property rights may be inadequate. Furthermore, we may also be unable to protect our proprietary business information from misappropriation. If we are unable to secure intellectual property rights, our competitors could use our intellectual property to market offerings similar to ours and we would have no recourse to enjoin or stop their actions. Additionally, any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged by others and invalidated through administrative processes or litigation. Moreover, even if we secured our intellectual property rights, others may infringe on our intellectual property and we may be unable to successfully enforce our rights against the infringers because we may be unaware of the infringement or our legal actions may not be successful. Finally, others may misappropriate our proprietary business information, and we may be unaware of the misappropriation or unable to enforce our legal rights in a cost-effective manner. If any of these events were to occur, our ability to compete effectively would be impaired. We may be unable to maintain and scale the technology underlying our offerings. As the number of homebuyers and home sellers, renters, agents, and listings shared on our website and mobile application and the extent and types of data grow, our need for additional network capacity and computing power will also grow. Operating our underlying technology systems is expensive and complex, and we could experience operational failures. If we experience interruptions or failures in these systems for any reason, the security and availability of our services and technologies could be affected. We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local laws, and our compliance with these laws, or the enforcement of our rights under these laws, may increase our expenses, require management's resources, or force us to change our business practices. We are currently subject to a variety of, and may in the future become subject to additional, federal, state, and local laws. The laws include, but are not limited to, those relating to real estate, brokerage, title, mortgage, advertising, privacy and consumer protection, labor and employment, and intellectual property. These laws and their related regulations may evolve frequently and may be inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another. Additionally, certain of these laws and regulations were created for traditional real estate brokerages, and it is unclear how they may affect us given our business model that is unlike traditional brokerages or certain of our services that historically have not been offered by traditional brokerages. These laws can be costly for us to comply with or enforce. Additionally, if we are unable to comply with and become liable for violations of these laws, or if courts or regulatory bodies provide unfavorable interpretations of existing regulations, our operations in affected markets may become prohibitively expensive, consume significant amounts of management's time, or need to be discontinued. 13 Table of Contents We are subject to costs associated with defending and resolving proceedings brought by government entities and claims brought by private parties. We are from time to time involved in, and may in the future be subject to, government investigations or enforcement actions and private third-party claims arising from the laws to which we are subject or the contracts to which we are a party. Such investigations, actions, and claims include, but are not limited to, matters relating to employment law (including misclassification), intellectual property, privacy and consumer protection, website accessibility, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974, the Fair Housing Act of 1968 or other fair housing statutes, cybersecurity incidents, data breaches, commercial or contractual disputes, and exposure to COVID-19. They may also relate to ordinary-course brokerage disputes, including, but not limited to, failure to disclose property defects, failure to meet client legal obligations, commission disputes, personal injury or property damage claims, and vicarious liability based upon conduct of individuals or entities outside of our control, including partner agents and third-party contractor agents. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of pending third-party claims that we believe may be material to us. Any such investigations, actions, or claims can be costly to defend or resolve, require significant time from management, or result in negative publicity. Furthermore, to the extent we are unsuccessful in defending an action or claim, we may be subject to civil or criminal penalties, including significant fines or damages, the loss of ability to operate in a jurisdiction, or the need to change certain business practices (including redesigning, or obtaining a license for, our technology or modifying or ceasing to offer certain services). In August 2019, Devin Cook, a former associate agent, filed a complaint against us in a California state court alleging misclassification as an independent contractor. On May 23, 2022, we settled Ms. Cook’s and a related case through global mediation for an aggregate of $3.0 million. This amount is subject to adjustment if the actual number of our agents or their workweeks differ from the number we provided to the plaintiffs. The settlement is subject to court approval. If it does not get approved or a court finds against us on classification of our associate agents, we may have to pay significant additional damages and change our business practices, which may be costly and time-consuming. Changes could require us to reclassify associate agents as employees, thereby subjecting them to wage and hour laws, and resulting in related tax and employment liabilities. Agents may also opt out of our platform given the loss of flexibility under an employment model. The real estate market may be negatively impacted by industry changes as the result of certain class action lawsuits. The real estate industry faces significant antitrust pressure, both from several private lawsuits and from the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”)’s related investigation. The National Association of Realtors (“NAR”) and certain companies (Realogy, HomeServices of America, RE/MAX, and Keller Williams) are defendants in class action complaints referred to as the “Moehrl-related suits” which allege violations of federal antitrust law. The DOJ also agreed to settle a suit with NAR in which NAR agreed to adopt certain rule changes, such as increased disclosure of commission offers from sellers’ agents to buyers’ agents, but the direct and indirect effects, if any, of the settlement upon the real estate industry are not yet entirely clear and the DOJ recently walked away from this settlement and reopened its investigation. Moreover, the Moehrl-related suits seek additional changes in real estate industry practices beyond the changes NAR agreed to in the DOJ settlement. Further, these lawsuits have prompted discussion of regulatory changes to rules established by local or state real estate boards or multiple listing services. Although the settlement between NAR and the DOJ does not require changes to agent and broker compensation, the resolution of the Moehrl-related suits and/or other regulatory changes may require changes to our or our brokers’ business models, including changes in agent and broker compensation. Even if commission sharing remains the norm, it may no longer be mandated in places where it is currently mandated, leading to hourly or a la carte services. If buyers end up having to compensate buyer brokers, they may be more likely to contact listing agents directly, driving dual agent broker commissions down. These potential changes in agent and broker compensation in particular could reduce the fees we receive from our agents, which, in turn, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. 14 Table of Contents Risks Related to Our Indebtedness We may not have sufficient cash flow to make the payments required by our convertible senior notes, and a failure to make payments when due may result in the entire principal amount of the convertible senior notes becoming due prior to the notes' maturity, which may result in our bankruptcy. We are required to pay interest on our 2023 notes and 2027 notes on a semi-annual basis. In addition, holders of our convertible senior notes have the right to require us to repurchase their notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. Furthermore, holders of our notes have the right to convert their notes upon any of the conditions described below: • • • • during any calendar quarter, if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price of the notes on each applicable trading day; during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate of the notes on each such trading day; if we call any or all of the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day prior to the redemption date; or upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. If any of these conversion features under a tranche of our notes are triggered, then holders of such notes will be entitled to convert the notes at any time during specified periods at their option. Upon conversion, we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the notes being converted, unless we elect to deliver solely shares of our common stock to settle such conversion (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share). Our ability to make these payments depends on having sufficient cash on hand when the payments are due. Our cash availability, in turn, depends on our future performance, which is subject to the other risks described in this Item 1A. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to make the payments when due, then we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, refinancing the notes, or raising additional capital. However, we may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms. Our failure to make payments when due may result in an event of default under the indentures governing our convertible senior notes and cause (i) with respect to our 2023 notes, the remaining $23.5 million aggregate principal amount, which will mature on July 15, 2023; (ii) with respect to our 2025 notes, the remaining $518.7 million aggregate principal amount, and (iii) with respect to our 2027 notes, the entire $575.0 million aggregate principal amount, plus, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest, to become due immediately and prior to the maturity date. Any such acceleration of the principal amount could result in our bankruptcy. In a bankruptcy, the holders of our convertible senior notes would have a claim to our assets that is senior to the claims of holders of our common stock. A substantial portion of our mortgage business’s assets are measured at fair value. If our estimates of fair value are inaccurate, we may be required to record a significant write down of our assets. Bay Equity’s mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”), and mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at fair value on our balance sheet. Fair value determinations require many assumptions and complex analyses, and we cannot control many of the underlying factors. If our estimates are incorrect, we could be required to write down the value of these assets, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. 15 Table of Contents In particular, our estimates of the fair value of Bay Equity’s MSRs are based on the cash flows projected to result from the servicing of the related mortgage loans and continually fluctuate due to a number of factors, including estimated discount rate, the cost of servicing, objective portfolio characteristics, contractual service fees, default rates, prepayment rates and other market conditions that affect the number of loans that ultimately become delinquent or are repaid or refinanced. These estimates are calculated by a third party using financial models that account for a high number of variables that drive cash flows associated with MSRs and anticipate changes in those variables over the life of the MSR. The accuracy of our estimates of the fair value of our MSRs are dependent on the reasonableness of the results of such models and the variables and assumptions that are built into them. If prepayment speeds or loan delinquencies are higher than anticipated, or other factors perform worse than modeled, the recorded value of certain of our MSRs may decrease, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Bay Equity relies on its warehouse credit facilities to fund the mortgage loans that it originates. If one or more of those facilities were to become unavailable, Bay Equity may be unable to find replacement financing on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and this could adversely affect its ability to originate additional mortgage loans. Bay Equity relies on borrowings from warehouse credit facilities to fund substantially all of the mortgage loans that it originates. To grow its business, Bay Equity depends, in part, on having sufficient borrowing capacity under its current facilities or obtaining additional borrowing capacity under new facilities. A current facility may become unavailable if Bay Equity fails to comply with its ongoing obligations under the facility, including failing to satisfy applicable financial covenants, or if it cannot agree with the lender on terms to renew the facility. New facilities may not be available on terms acceptable to us. If Bay Equity were unable to secure sufficient borrowing capacity through its warehouse credit facilities, then it may need to rely on our cash on hand to originate mortgage loans. If this cash were unavailable, then Bay Equity may be unable to maintain or increase the amount of mortgage loans that it originates, which will adversely affect its growth. The cross-acceleration and cross-default provisions in the agreements governing our current indebtedness may result in an immediate obligation to repay all of either our 2025 and 2027 convertible senior notes or our warehouse credit facilities. The indentures governing our 2025 and 2027 convertible senior notes contain cross-acceleration and cross-default provisions. These provisions could have the effect of creating an event of default under the indenture for either our 2025 or 2027 convertible senior notes, despite our compliance with that agreement, due solely to an event of default or failure to pay amounts owed under the indenture for the other tranche of convertible senior notes. Accordingly, all or a significant portion of our outstanding convertible senior notes could become immediately payable due solely to our failure to comply with the terms of a single agreement governing either our 2025 or 2027 convertible senior notes. Our warehouse credit facilities contain cross-acceleration and cross-default provisions. These provisions could have the effect of creating an event of default under the agreement for any such warehouse credit facility, despite our compliance with that agreement, due solely to an event of default or failure to pay amounts owed under the agreement for another warehouse credit facility. Accordingly, all or a significant portion of our outstanding warehouse indebtedness could become immediately payable due solely to our failure to comply with the terms of a single agreement governing one of our warehouse credit facilities. The cross-default provisions in our existing warehouse credit facilities do not pick up defaults under our convertible senior notes. Our existing warehouse credit facilities are also carved out of the cross-payment default provisions in our 2025 and 2027 senior notes given that they constitute non-recourse debt. 16 Table of Contents Risks Related to Our Convertible Preferred Stock We may be required to make cash payments to our preferred stockholders before our preferred stock's final redemption date of November 30, 2024, and any cash payments may materially reduce our net working capital. On November 30, 2024, we will be required to redeem all shares of our convertible preferred stock then outstanding and pay accrued dividends on those shares. A preferred stockholder has the option of receiving cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares for this redemption. However, before this redemption, we may be required to make cash payments to our preferred stockholders in the two situations described below, and any such cash payments will reduce our cash available for other corporate uses and may materially reduce our net working capital. Dividends accrue on each $1,000 of our outstanding convertible preferred stock at a rate of 5.5% per year and are payable quarterly. Assuming we satisfy the "equity conditions" (as defined in the certificate of designation governing our preferred stock), we will pay dividends in shares of our common stock. These conditions principally include (i) we have ensured the liquidity and transferability of our common stock held by the preferred stockholders, (ii) we have issued common stock and paid cash to the preferred stockholders, as required by the certificate of designation, (iii) we are not in bankruptcy or have had a bankruptcy proceeding instituted against us, and (iv) we have not breached an agreement that governs the preferred stockholders' rights with respect to the preferred stock and such breach materially and adversely impacts our business or a preferred stockholder's economic benefits under the agreement. However, if we fail to satisfy these "equity conditions," then we must pay cash dividends in amount equal to (i) the number of shares of our common stock that we would have issued as dividends, assuming we satisfied the conditions, multiplied by (ii) the volume-weighted-average closing price of our common stock for the ten trading days preceding the date the dividends are payable. A preferred stockholder has the right to require us to redeem its preferred stock for cash following the occurrence of a "triggering event" (as defined in the certificate of designation governing our preferred stock). These events are similar in nature to the "equity conditions" described above. The cash payment, for each share of preferred stock, would equal the sum of (i) $1,000, (ii) any accrued dividends on the preferred stock, and (iii) an amount equal to all scheduled dividend payments (excluding any accrued dividends) on the preferred stock for all remaining dividend periods from the date the preferred stockholder requests redemption through November 29, 2024. Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Common Stock Our restated certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the U.S. federal district courts as the exclusive forums for certain types of actions that may be initiated by our stockholders. These provisions may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, or employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our restated certificate of incorporation, or our restated bylaws, (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our restated certificate of incorporation or our restated bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. This exclusive forum provision does not apply to actions arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or, as described below, the Securities Act of 1933. Our restated certificate of incorporation further provides that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, the U.S. federal district courts will be the exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Notwithstanding this provision, stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. 17 Table of Contents Item 1B.

Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Market Information, Holders of Record, and Dividends Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “RDFN.” PART II As of February 10, 2023, we had 60 holders of record of our common stock. Because many of our shares of common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of beneficial owners of our common stock represented by these record holders. The holders of our convertible preferred stock are entitled to dividends, which accrue daily based on a 360-day fiscal year at a rate of 5.5% per annum based on the issue price and are payable quarterly in arrears on the first business day following the end of each calendar quarter. Assuming we satisfy certain conditions, we will pay dividends in shares of common stock at a rate of the dividend payable divided by $17.95. If we do not satisfy such conditions, we will pay dividends in a cash amount equal to (1) the dividend shares otherwise issuable on the dividends multiplied by (2) the volume-weighted average closing price of our common stock for the ten trading days preceding the date the dividends are payable. Except for the foregoing, we have no intention of paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Stock Performance Graph The graph below compares the cumulative total return of a $100 investment in our common stock with the cumulative total return of the same investment in the S&P 500 Index and the RDG Composite Index.

Item 6. [Reserved] Not applicable. 20 Table of Contents Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes, and other information included in this annual report. In particular, the risk factors contained in Item 1A may reflect trends, demands, commitments, events, or uncertainties that could materially impact our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements, such as statements regarding our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans, our market growth and trends, and our objectives for future operations. See "Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for more information about relying on these forward-looking statements. The following discussion also contains information using industry publications. See "Note Regarding Industry and Market Data" for more information about relying on these industry publications. When we use the term "basis points" in the following discussion, we refer to units of one‑hundredth of one percent. Overview We help people buy and sell homes. Representing customers in over 100 markets in the United States, we are a residential real estate brokerage. We pair our own agents with our own technology to create a service that is faster, better, and costs less. We meet customers through our listings-search website and mobile application. We use the same combination of technology and local service to originate mortgage loans and offer title and settlement services. Beginning in April 2021, we also offer digital platforms to connect consumers with available apartments and houses for rent. Our mission is to redefine real estate in the consumer’s favor. Adverse Macroeconomic Conditions and Our Associated Actions Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, a number of economic factors began to adversely impact the residential real estate market, including higher mortgage interest rates, lower consumer sentiment, increased inflation, and declining financial market conditions. This shift in the macroeconomic backdrop had an adverse impact on consumer demand for our services, as consumers weighed the financial implications of selling or purchasing a home and taking out a mortgage. Our real estate services transaction volume decreased by 27% in the third and fourth quarters of 2022, compared to the prior year. This stands in contrast to the 2% that our real estate services transaction volume decreased in the first and second quarters of 2022, compared to the prior year. Our newly acquired mortgage business, Bay Equity, also experienced significant declines in loan volumes beginning in the second quarter of 2022, particularly from refinancing prior mortgages. In response to these macroeconomic and consumer demand developments, we took action to adjust our operations and manage our business towards longer-term profitability despite these adverse macroeconomic factors. In June, we laid off 442 employees, which represented approximately eight percent of total employees. In November, we laid off an additional 862 employees, which represented 13% of total employees. From April 2022, after completing the acquisition of Bay Equity, through the end of the year, through involuntary reductions and attrition, we reduced our total of number of employees by 28%, including a reduction in lead agents of 30%. These workforce reductions were intended to align the size of our operations with the level of consumer demand for our services at that time. Also in November, we decided to wind-down RedfinNow. This was a strategic decision we made in order to focus our resources on our core business in the face of the rising cost of capital. 21 Table of Contents Key Business Metrics In addition to the measures presented in our consolidated financial statements, we use the following key metrics to evaluate our business, develop financial forecasts, and make strategic decisions. Monthly average visitors (in thousands) Real estate services transactions Brokerage Partner Total Real estate services revenue per transaction Brokerage Partner Aggregate (1) U.S. market share by units Revenue from top-10 markets as a percentage of real estate services revenue Average number of lead agents RedfinNow homes sold Revenue per RedfinNow home sold Mortgage originations by dollars (in millions) Mortgage originations by units (in ones) 2022 Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 49,654 66,554 13,649 80,203 11,269 2,718 9,814 0.80 % 58 % 2,426 2,044 576,599 4,317 10,625 $ $ $ 47,113 76,680 17,899 94,579 11,076 3,020 9,551 0.77 % 62 % 2,396 1,451 594,268 988 2,643 $ $ $ 42,862 60,510 15,290 75,800 10,040 2,858 8,591 0.67 % 63 % 1,757 453 462,883 685 1,973 $ $ $ (1) Prior to the second quarter of 2022, we reported our U.S. market share based on the aggregate home value of our real estate services transactions, relative to the aggregate value of all U.S. home sales, which we computed based on the mean sale price of U.S. homes provided by the National Association of REALTORS® (“NAR”). Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, NAR (1) revised its methodology of computing the mean sale price, (2) restated its previously reported mean sale price beginning from January 2020 (and indicated that previously reported mean sale price prior to January 2020 is not comparable), and (3) discontinued publication of the mean sale price as part of its primary data set. Due to these changes, as of the second quarter of 2022, we report our U.S. market share based on the number of homes sold, rather than the dollar value of homes sold. Our market share by number of homes sold has historically been lower than our market share by dollar value of homes sold. We also stopped reporting the aggregate home value of our real estate services transactions. Monthly Average Visitors The number of, and growth in, visitors to our website and mobile application are important leading indicators of our business activity because these channels are the primary ways we meet customers. The number of visitors is influenced by, among other things, market conditions that affect interest in buying or selling homes, the level and success of our marketing programs, seasonality, and how our website appears in search results. We believe we can continue to increase visitors, which helps our growth. Given the lengthy process to buy or sell a home, a visitor during one month may not convert to a revenue-generating customer until many months later, if at all. When we refer to "monthly average visitors" for a particular period, we are referring to the average number of unique visitors to our website and our mobile applications for each of the months in that period, as measured by Google Analytics, a product that provides digital marketing intelligence. Google Analytics tracks visitors using cookies, with a unique cookie being assigned to each browser or mobile application on a device. For any given month, Google Analytics counts all of the unique cookies that visited our website and mobile applications during that month. Google Analytics considers each unique cookie as a unique visitor. Due to third-party technological limitations, user software settings, or user behavior, it is possible that Google Analytics may assign a unique cookie to different visits by the same person to our website or mobile application. In such instances, Google Analytics would count different visits by the same person as separate visits by unique visitors. Accordingly, reliance on the number of unique cookies counted by Google Analytics may overstate the actual number of unique persons who visit our website or our mobile applications for a given month. Our monthly average visitors exclude visitors to Rent.'s websites and mobile applications. 22 Table of Contents Real Estate Services Transactions We record a brokerage real estate services transaction when one of our lead agents represented the homebuyer or home seller in the purchase or sale, respectively, of a home. We record a partner real estate services transaction (i) when one of our partner agents represented the homebuyer or home seller in the purchase or sale, respectively, of a home or (ii) when a Redfin customer sold his or her home to a third-party institutional buyer following our introduction of that customer to the buyer. We include a single transaction twice when our lead agents or our partner agents serve both the homebuyer and the home seller of the transaction. Additionally, when one of our lead agents represents RedfinNow in its sale of a home, we include that transaction as a brokerage real estate services transaction. Increasing the number of real estate services transactions is critical to increasing our revenue and, in turn, to achieving profitability. Real estate services transaction volume is influenced by, among other things, the pricing and quality of our services as well as market conditions that affect home sales, such as local inventory levels and mortgage interest rates. Real estate services transaction volume is also affected by seasonality and macroeconomic factors. Real Estate Services Revenue per Transaction Real estate services revenue per transaction, together with the number of real estate services transactions, is a factor in evaluating revenue growth. We also use this metric to evaluate pricing changes. Changes in real estate services revenue per transaction can be affected by, among other things, our pricing, the mix of transactions from homebuyers and home sellers, changes in the value of homes in the markets we serve, the geographic mix of our transactions, and the transactions we refer to partner agents and any third-party institutional buyer. We calculate real estate services revenue per transaction by dividing brokerage, partner, or aggregate revenue, as applicable, by the corresponding number of real estate services transactions in any period. We generally generate more real estate services revenue per transaction from representing homebuyers than home sellers. However, we believe that representing home sellers has unique strategic value, including the marketing power of yard signs and other campaigns, and the market effect of controlling listing inventory. Prior to July 2022, homebuyers who purchased their home using our brokerage services would receive a commission refund in a substantial majority of our markets. In July 2022, we began a pilot program in certain of those markets to eliminate our commission refund. Since this pilot was successful, we eliminated our commission refund in all markets in December 2022. The average refund per transaction for a homebuyer was $1,336 in 2022, and $852 in the fourth quarter of 2022. We expect that elimination of our commission refund in all markets will increase our real estate services revenue per transaction, although this metric is also impacted by the factors discussed above. From 2021 to 2022, the percentage of brokerage transactions from home sellers was essentially unchanged at approximately 44%. U.S. Market Share by Units Increasing our U.S. market share by units is critical to our ability to grow our business and achieve profitability over the long term. We believe there is a significant opportunity to increase our share in the markets we currently serve. We calculate our market share by aggregating the number of brokerage and partner real estate services transactions. We then divide that number by two times the aggregate number of U.S. home sales, in order to account for both the sell- and buy-side components of each home sale. We obtain the aggregate number of U.S. home sales from the National Association of REALTORS ("NAR"). NAR data for the most recent period is preliminary and may subsequently be updated by NAR. ® 23 Table of Contents Revenue from Top-10 Markets as a Percentage of Real Estate Services Revenue Our top-10 markets by real estate services revenue are the metropolitan areas of Boston, Chicago, Denver (including Boulder and Colorado Springs), Los Angeles (including Santa Barbara), Maryland, Northern Virginia, Portland (including Bend), San Diego, San Francisco, and Seattle. This metric is an indicator of the geographic concentration of our real estate services segment. We expect our revenue from top-10 markets to decline as a percentage of our total real estate services revenue over time. Average Number of Lead Agents The average number of lead agents, in combination with our other key metrics such as the number of brokerage transactions, is a basis for calculating agent productivity and is one indicator of the potential future growth of our business. We systematically evaluate traffic to our website and mobile application and customer activity to anticipate changes in customer demand, helping determine when and where to hire lead agents. We calculate the average number of lead agents by taking the average of the number of lead agents at the end of each month included in the period. RedfinNow Homes Sold The number of homes sold by RedfinNow is an indicator for investors to understand the underlying transaction volume growth of our RedfinNow business. This number is influenced by, among other things, the level and quality of our homes available for sale inventory and market conditions that affect home sales, such as local inventory levels and mortgage interest rates. Revenue per RedfinNow Home Sold Revenue per RedfinNow home sold, together with the number of RedfinNow homes sold, is a factor in evaluating revenue growth. Changes in revenue per RedfinNow home sold can be affected by, among other things, the geographic mix of home sales, the types and sizes of homes that it had previously purchased, pricing of homes listed for sale, and changes in the value of homes in the markets it serves. For any period, we calculate revenue per RedfinNow home sold by dividing revenue from sales of homes by RedfinNow by the number of homes sold by RedfinNow during that period. Mortgage Originations Mortgage originations is the volume of mortgage loans originated by our mortgage business, measured by both dollar value of loans and number of loans. This volume is an indicator for the growth of our mortgage business. Mortgage originations is affected by mortgage interest rates, the ability of our mortgage loan officers to close loans, and the number of our homebuyer customers who use our mortgage business for a mortgage loan, among other factors. Prior to April 1, 2022, our mortgage business consisted solely of Redfin Mortgage, LLC. From April 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022, our mortgage business consisted of both Bay Equity LLC and Redfin Mortgage, LLC. We dissolved Redfin Mortgage, LLC on June 30, 2022, and since that time, our mortgage business has consisted solely of Bay Equity LLC. Components of Our Results of Operations Revenue We generate revenue primarily from commissions and fees charged on each real estate services transaction closed by our lead agents or partner agents, from the sale of homes, from subscription-based product offerings for our rentals business, and from the origination, sales, and servicing of mortgages. 24 Table of Contents Real Estate Services Revenue Brokerage Revenue—Brokerage revenue includes our offer and listing services, where our lead agents represent homebuyers and home sellers. We recognize commission-based brokerage revenue upon closing of a brokerage transaction, less the amount of any commission refunds, closing-cost reductions, or promotional offers that may result in a material right. Brokerage revenue is affected by the number of brokerage transactions we close, the mix of brokerage transactions, home-sale prices, commission rates, and the amount we give to customers. Partner Revenue—Partner revenue consists of fees paid to us from partner agents or under other referral agreements, less the amount of any payments we make to homebuyers and home sellers. We recognize these fees as revenue on the closing of a transaction. Partner revenue is affected by the number of partner transactions closed, home-sale prices, commission rates, and the amount we refund to customers. If the portion of customers we introduce to our own lead agents increases, we expect the portion of revenue closed by partner agents to decrease. Properties Revenue Properties Revenue—Properties revenue consists of revenue earned when we sell homes that we previously bought directly from homeowners. Properties revenue is recorded at closing on a gross basis, representing the sales price of the home. Rentals Revenue Rentals Revenue—Rentals revenue is primarily composed of subscription-based product offerings for internet listing services, as well as lead management and digital marketing solutions. Mortgage Revenue Mortgage Revenue—Mortgage revenue includes fees from the origination and subsequent sale of loans, loan servicing income, interest income on loans held for sale, origination of IRLCs, and the changes in fair value of our IRLCs, forward sales commitments, loans held for sale, and MSRs. Other Revenue Other Revenue—Other services revenue includes fees earned from title settlement services, Walk Score data services, and advertising. Substantially all fees and revenue from other services are recognized when the service is provided. Intercompany Eliminations Intercompany Eliminations—Revenue earned from transactions between operating segments are eliminated in consolidating our financial statements. Intercompany transactions primarily consist of services performed from our real estate services segment for our properties segment. Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs (including base pay, benefits, and stock-based compensation), transaction bonuses, home-touring and field expenses, listing expenses, home costs related to our properties segment, customer fulfillment costs related to our rentals segment, office and occupancy expenses, interest expense on our mortgage related warehouse facilities, and depreciation and amortization related to fixed assets and acquired intangible assets. Home costs related to our properties segment include home purchase costs, capitalized improvements, selling expenses directly attributable to the transaction, and home maintenance expenses. Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue. Gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue. Our gross margin has and will continue to be affected by a number of factors, but the most important are the mix of revenue from our relatively higher-gross-margin real estate services segment and our relatively lower-gross-margin properties segment, real estate services revenue per transaction, agent and support-staff productivity, personnel costs and transaction bonuses, and, for properties, the home purchase costs. 25 Table of Contents Operating Expenses Technology and Development Our primary technology and development expenses are building software for our customers, lead agents, and support staff to work together on a transaction, and building a website and mobile application to meet customers looking to move. These expenses primarily include personnel costs (including base pay, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation), data licenses, software and equipment, and infrastructure such as for data centers and hosted services. The expenses also include amortization of capitalized internal-use software and website and mobile application development costs as well as amortization of acquired intangible assets. We expense research and development costs as incurred and record them in technology and development expenses. Marketing Marketing expenses consist primarily of media costs for online and offline advertising, as well as personnel costs (including base pay, benefits, and stock-based compensation). General and Administrative General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs (including base pay, benefits, and stock-based compensation), facilities costs and related expenses for our executive, finance, human resources, and legal organizations, depreciation related to our fixed assets, and fees for outside services. Outside services are principally composed of external legal, audit, and tax services. For our rentals business, personnel costs include employees in the sales department. These employees are responsible for attracting potential rental properties and agreeing to contract terms, but they are not responsible for delivering a service to the rental property. Interest Income, Interest Expense, Income Tax (Expense) Benefit, Gain on Extinguishment of Convertible Senior Notes, and Other (Expense) Income, Net Interest Income Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and investments. Interest Expense Interest expense consists primarily of interest payable on our convertible senior notes and the amortization of debt discounts and issuance cost related to our convertible senior notes. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for information regarding interest on our convertible senior notes. Interest expense also includes interest on borrowings and the amortization of debt issuance costs related to our secured revolving credit facility. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for information regarding interest for the facility, which we terminated on December 29, 2022. Income Tax (Expense) Benefit Income tax expense primarily relates to current state income taxes recorded for the year, partially offset by a deferred income tax benefit generated by the reduction to a deferred tax liability created through our April 2, 2021 acquisition of Rent.. Gain on Extinguishment of Convertible Senior Notes Gain on extinguishment of convertible senior notes relates to gains recognized on the repurchase of our convertible senior notes. 26 Table of Contents Other (Expense) Income, Net Other (expense) income, net consists primarily of realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and other assets. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for information regarding unrealized losses on our investments.

Included in the increase was $155.9 million from our acquisition of Rent., and there was $121.9 million of such revenue in 2021. Also included in the increase was $130.2 million resulting from our acquisition of Bay Equity, and there was no such revenue in 2021. Excluding these revenues from Rent. and Bay Equity, this increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $322.0 million increase in properties revenue, which was partially offset by a $116.3 million decrease in real estate services revenue. Properties revenue increased 37%, primarily driven by a 41% increase in RedfinNow homes sold and a 3% decrease in revenue per RedfinNow home sold. These increases are largely due to our properties business's expansion. Brokerage revenue decreased by $99.3 million and partner revenue decreased by $17.0 million. Brokerage revenue decreased 12% during the period, driven by a 13% decrease in brokerage transactions and partially offset by a 2% increase in brokerage revenue per transaction.

Included in the increase was $33.4 million from our acquisition of Rent., and there were $21.7 million of such expenses in 2021. Also included in the increase was $118.1 million resulting from our acquisition of Bay Equity, and there were no such expenses in 2021. Excluding these expenses from Rent. and Bay Equity, this increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to a $331.6 million increase in home purchase costs and related capitalized improvements by our properties business, due to more RedfinNow homes having been sold. Total gross margin decreased 850 basis points as compared with 2021, driven primarily by the relative growth of our properties business compared to our real estate services and other businesses, and decreases in real estate services and properties gross margin. This was partially offset by the increases in mortgage and other gross margin. In 2022, real estate services gross margin decreased 1,050 basis points as compared with 2021. This was primarily attributable to a 930 basis point increase in personnel costs and transaction bonuses as a percentage of revenue. 29 Table of Contents In 2022, properties gross margin decreased 310 basis points as compared with 2021. This was primarily attributable to a 370 basis point increase in home purchase costs and related capitalized improvements, including our lower of cost or net realizable value write-downs, as a percentage of revenue. This was partially offset by a 50 basis point decrease in personnel costs and transaction bonuses as a percentage of revenue. In 2022, rentals gross margin decreased by 360 basis points. This was primarily attributable to a 210 basis point increase in marketing expenses and a 210 basis point increase in personnel costs, each as a percentage of revenue and due to expanded services. This was partially offset by a 90 basis point reduction in outside services costs as a percentage of revenue. In 2022, mortgage gross margin increased by 3,650 basis points. This was primarily attributable to a 3,160 basis point decrease in personnel costs and transaction bonuses as a percentage of revenue. In 2022, other gross margin increased by 1,000 basis points. This was primarily attributable to a 470 basis point decrease in personnel costs and transaction bonuses as a percentage of revenue.

Excluding these expenses from Rent. and Bay Equity, marketing expenses decreased by $0.4 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $4.9 million decrease in marketing media costs. This was partially offset by a $2.8 million increase in personnel costs. In 2022, general and administrative expenses increased by $36.3 million, or 17%, as compared with 2021. Included in the increase was $90.8 million resulting from our acquisition of Rent., and there were $71.5 million such expenses in 2021. Also included in the increase was $22.8 million resulting from our acquisition of Bay Equity, and there were no such expenses in 2021. Excluding these expenses from Rent. and Bay Equity, general and administrative expenses decreased by $5.9 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $7.3 million decrease in advertising campaign and contractor expenses for recruiting employees, and a $6.5 million decrease in acquisition transaction expenses. This was partially offset by a $4.4 million increase in internet-based software services, and a $4.0 million increase in personnel costs due to increased headcount. In 2022, restructuring and reorganization expenses increased by $40.5 million, and there were no such expenses in 2021. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on our restructuring and reorganization costs. 30 Table of Contents Interest Income, Interest Expense, Income Tax (Expense) Benefit, Gain on Extinguishment of Convertible Senior Notes, and Other (Expense) Income, Net Interest income Interest expense Income tax (expense) benefit Gain on extinguishment of convertible senior notes Other (expense) income, net Interest income, interest expense, income tax (expense) benefit, gain on extinguishment of convertible senior notes, and other (expense) income, net Percentage of revenue Interest income Interest expense Income tax (expense) benefit Gain on extinguishment of convertible senior notes Other (expense) income, net Interest income, interest expense, income tax (expense) benefit, gain on extinguishment of convertible senior notes, and other (expense) income, net Year Ended December 31, Change 2022 2021 Dollars Percentage (in thousands, except percentages) $ $ $ 6,639 (17,745) (126) 57,193 (3,774) $ 635 (11,762) 6,107 — 5,360 42,187 $ 340 $ 6,004 (5,983) (6,233) 57,193 (9,134) 41,847 946 % 51 (102) n/a (170) 12,308 0.3 % (0.8) 0.0 2.5 (0.2) 1.8 % 0.0 % (0.6) 0.3 0.0 0.3 0.0 % In 2022, interest income, interest expense, income tax (expense) benefit, gain on extinguishment of convertible senior notes, and other (expense) income, net increased by $41.8 million, as compared with 2021. Interest income increased by $6.0 million primarily due to higher interest rates on our cash, cash equivalents, and investments compared with 2021. Interest expense increased by $6.0 million primarily due to $3.9 million in additional expense from increased interest rates related to our borrowings under the RedfinNow line of credit as well as $0.7 million of accelerated amortization due to our early termination of that facility in association with our wind- down of RedfinNow. In addition, we had a full year of amortization for our 2027 notes as compared to a partial year in 2021, resulting in $0.5 million in additional expense in 2022. Income tax (expense) benefit decreased by $6.2 million primarily due to a one-time income tax benefit from the Rent. acquisition in 2021, where no such benefit was recognized in 2022. Gain on extinguishment of convertible senior notes increased by $57.2 million, due to our paying down a portion of our 2025 notes at a discount, where there was no such activity in 2021. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for further information on these transactions. Other (expense) income, net increased by $9.1 million primarily due to (1) the fair value of one of our investments being recorded in 2021, where we did not have this recording during 2022, and the subsequent sale of that investment at a loss, (2) impairment of leases, and (3) losses on various property and equipment disposals. 31 Table of Contents Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 Revenue Real estate services Brokerage Partner Total real estate services Properties Rentals Mortgage Other Intercompany elimination Total revenue Percentage of revenue Real estate services Brokerage Partner Total real estate services Properties Rentals Mortgage Other Intercompany elimination Total revenue Year Ended December 31, Change 2021 2020 Dollars Percentage (in thousands, except percentages) 241,775 10,351 252,126 670,967 121,877 3,983 1,232 (13,513) 1,036,672 40 % 24 39 320 n/a 25 10 448 117 $ $ 849,288 54,046 903,334 880,653 121,877 19,818 13,609 (16,526) 1,922,765 $ $ 44.2 % 2.8 47.0 45.8 6.3 1.0 0.8 (0.9) 100.0 % 607,513 43,695 651,208 209,686 — 15,835 12,377 (3,013) 886,093 $ $ 68.6 % 4.9 73.5 23.7 n/a 1.8 1.4 (0.4) 100.0 % In 2021, revenue increased by $1,036.7 million, or 117%, as compared with 2020. Included in the increase was $121.9 million resulting from our acquisition of Rent., where there were no such revenues in 2020. Excluding these revenues from Rent., this increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $671.0 million increase in properties revenue and a $252.1 million increase in real estate services revenue. Properties revenue increased 320%, primarily driven by a 220% increase in RedfinNow homes sold and a 28% increase in revenue per RedfinNow home sold. These increases are largely due to our properties business's expansion, greater customer awareness of that business, and COVID-19's impacts on that business during the prior period. Brokerage revenue increased by $241.8 million and partner revenue increased by $10.4 million. Brokerage revenue increased 40% during the period, driven by a 27% increase in brokerage transactions and a 10% increase in brokerage revenue per transaction. We believe the increase in brokerage transactions was attributable to higher levels of customer awareness of Redfin and increasing customer demand, while the increase in brokerage revenue per transaction was driven primarily by increasing home values. 32 Table of Contents Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin Cost of revenue Real estate services Properties Rentals Mortgage Other Intercompany elimination Total cost of revenue Gross profit Real estate services Properties Rentals Mortgage Other Total gross profit Gross margin (percentage of revenue) Real estate services Properties Rentals Mortgage Other Total gross margin Year Ended December 31, Change 2021 2020 Dollars Percentage (in thousands, except percentages) 186,180 655,670 21,739 10,469 4,417 (13,513) 864,962 65,946 15,297 100,138 (6,486) (3,185) 171,710 45 % 306 n/a 67 45 448 132 28 % (326) n/a (3,118) (126) 74 $ $ $ $ 603,320 870,052 21,739 26,096 14,264 (16,526) 1,518,945 300,014 10,601 100,138 (6,278) (655) 403,820 $ $ $ $ 33.2 % 1.2 82.2 (31.7) (4.8) 21.0 417,140 214,382 — 15,627 9,847 (3,013) 653,983 234,068 (4,696) — 208 2,530 232,110 $ $ $ $ 35.9 % (2.2) n/a 1.3 20.4 26.2 In 2021, total cost of revenue increased by $865.0 million, or 132%, as compared with 2020. Included in the increase was $21.7 million resulting from our acquisition of Rent., and there were no such expenses in 2020. Excluding these expenses from Rent., this increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to (1) a $590.6 million increase in home purchase costs and related capitalized improvements by our properties business, due to more RedfinNow homes having been sold, and (2) a $168.7 million increase in personnel costs and transaction bonuses, due to increased headcount and increased brokerage transactions, respectively. Total gross margin decreased 520 basis points as compared with 2020, driven primarily by the relative growth of our properties business compared to our real estate services and other businesses, and decreases in real estate services, mortgage, and other gross margin. This was partially offset by the increase in properties gross margin, and our acquisition of Rent., which comprises our rentals business. In 2021, real estate services gross margin decreased 270 basis points as compared with 2020. This was primarily attributable to a 230 basis point increase in personnel costs and transaction bonuses and a 140 basis point increase in home-touring and field expenses, each as a percentage of revenue. This was partially offset by a 50 basis point decrease in listing expenses, and a 40 basis point reduction in occupancy and office expenses, each as a percentage of revenue. In 2021, properties gross margin increased 340 basis points as compared with 2020. This was primarily attributable to a 210 basis point decrease in home purchase costs and related capitalized improvements, and a 120 basis point decrease in personnel costs and transaction bonuses, each as a percentage of revenue. In 2021, mortgage gross margin decreased by 3,300 basis points. This was primarily attributable to a 2,690 basis point increase in personnel costs and transaction bonuses as a percentage of revenue. In 2021, other gross margin decreased by 2,520 basis points. This was primarily attributable to a 2,620 basis point increase in personnel costs and transaction bonuses as a percentage of revenue. 33 Table of Contents Operating Expenses Technology and development Marketing General and administrative Restructuring and reorganization Total operating expenses Percentage of revenue Technology and development Marketing General and administrative Restructuring and reorganization Total operating expenses Year Ended December 31, Change 2021 2020 Dollars Percentage (in thousands, except percentages) $ $ $ 156,718 138,740 218,315 — 513,773 $ $ $ 8.2 % 7.2 11.4 0.0 26.8 % 84,297 54,881 85,624 6,516 231,318 $ $ $ 9.5 % 6.2 9.7 0.7 26.1 % 72,421 83,859 132,691 (6,516) 282,455 86 % 153 155 (100) 122 In 2021, technology and development expenses increased by $72.4 million, or 86%, as compared with 2020. Included in the increase was $39.0 million resulting from our acquisition of Rent., and there were no such expenses in 2020. Excluding these expenses from Rent., the increase was primarily attributable to a $26.4 million increase in personnel costs due to increased headcount. In 2021, marketing expenses increased by $83.9 million, or 153%, as compared with 2020. Included in the increase was $36.1 million resulting from our acquisition of Rent., and there were no such expenses in 2020. Excluding these expenses from Rent., the increase was primarily attributable to a $43.0 million increase in marketing media costs as we expanded advertising. In 2021, general and administrative expenses increased by $132.7 million, or 155%, as compared with 2020. Included in the increase was $71.5 million resulting from our acquisition of Rent., and there were no such expenses in 2020. Excluding these expenses from Rent., the increase was primarily attributable to a $30.0 million increase in personnel costs due to increased headcount, an $8.9 million increase in transaction costs from our acquisition of Rent. and our proposed acquisition of Bay Equity, and a $7.0 million increase in advertising campaign and contractor expenses for recruiting employees and independent contractors. In 2021, restructuring and reorganization expenses decreased by $6.5 million, or 100%, as compared with 2020. We had no such restructuring expenses in 2021.

Interest expense decreased by $7.7 million due primarily to the implementation of ASU 2020-06, which eliminates the liability and equity separation models for convertible instruments. As a result, we did not incur an expense for the accretion of the equity portion of our convertible senior notes during 2021. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on our adoption of this accounting standard. Income tax benefit increased by $6.1 million primarily due to a deferred tax liability created through the Rent. acquisition, and such deferred tax liability was used to realize certain deferred tax assets against which we had previously recorded a full valuation allowance. We did not have any income tax benefit during 2020. See Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements. Other income (expense), net increased by $7.3 million primarily due to (1) recording the fair value of one of our investments during 2021, where we did not have this recording during 2020, and (2) writing down the fair value of another of our investments during 2020, where we did not have this write down during 2021.

As such, revenue and cost of revenue increase sequentially from the first quarter to the second quarter and sequentially again during the third quarter. Fourth quarter revenue typically declines sequentially from the third quarter. Our 2022 revenue and cost of revenue were impacted by macroeconomic conditions; see “Adverse Macroeconomic Conditions and Our Associated Actions” under Item 7. In 2021, revenue increased from the third quarter to the fourth quarter, largely due to our properties business's expansion and greater customer awareness of that business. Two acquisitions also increased our quarterly revenue, cost of revenue and operating expenses in 2021 and 2022. • We completed our acquisition of Rent. on April 2, 2021. The acquisition increased revenue, cost of revenue, and operating expenses in the second quarter, third quarter, and fourth quarter of 2022 over their seasonal pattern, because there were no such results in prior quarters. • We completed our acquisition of Bay Equity on April 1, 2022. The acquisition increased revenue, cost of revenue, and operating expenses in the second quarter, third quarter, and fourth quarter of 2022 over their seasonal pattern, because there were no such results in prior quarters. 36 Table of Contents Quarterly Key Business Metrics Monthly average visitors (in thousands) Real estate services transactions Brokerage Partner Total Real estate services revenue per transaction Brokerage Partner Aggregate (1) U.S. market share by units Revenue from top-10 Redfin markets as a percentage of real estate services revenue Average number of lead agents RedfinNow homes sold Revenue per RedfinNow home sold Mortgage originations by dollars (in millions) Mortgage originations by units (in ones) Dec. 31, 2022 Sep. 30, 2022 Jun. 30, 2022 Mar. 31, 2022 Dec. 31, 2021 Sep. 30, 2021 43,847 50,785 52,698 51,287 44,665 49,147 Jun. 30, 2021 48,437 Mar. 31, 2021 46,202 12,743 2,742 15,485 10,914 2,611 9,444 $ 18,245 3,507 21,752 11,103 2,556 9,725 $ 20,565 3,983 24,548 11,692 2,851 10,258 $ 15,001 3,417 18,418 11,191 2,814 9,637 $ 19,428 4,603 24,031 10,900 2,819 9,352 $ 21,929 4,755 26,684 11,107 2,990 9,661 $ 21,006 4,597 25,603 11,307 3,195 9,850 $ 14,317 3,944 18,261 10,927 3,084 9,233 0.76 % 0.80 % 0.82 % 0.79 % 0.78 % 0.78 % 0.77 % 0.75 % 57 % 58 % 59 % 57 % 61 % 62 % 64 % 62 % 2,022 474 538,788 1,036 2,631 $ $ 2,293 530 550,903 1,557 3,720 $ $ 2,640 423 604,120 1,565 3,860 $ $ 2,750 617 608,851 159 414 $ $ 2,485 600 622,519 242 591 $ $ 2,370 388 599,963 258 671 $ $ 2,456 292 571,670 261 749 $ $ 2,277 171 525,765 227 632 $ $ $ (1) Prior to the second quarter of 2022, we reported our U.S. market share based on the aggregate home value of our real estate services transactions, relative to the aggregate value of all U.S. home sales, which we computed based on the mean sale price of U.S. homes provided by the National Association of REALTORS® (“NAR”). Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, NAR (1) revised its methodology of computing the mean sale price, (2) restated its previously reported mean sale price beginning from January 2020 (and indicated that previously reported mean sale price prior to January 2020 is not comparable), and (3) discontinued publication of the mean sale price as part of its primary data set. Due to these changes, as of the second quarter of 2022, we report our U.S. market share based on the number of homes sold, rather than the dollar value of homes sold. Our market share by number of homes sold has historically been lower than our market share by dollar value of homes sold. We also stopped reporting the aggregate home value of our real estate services transactions. Similar to our revenue, monthly average visitors to our website and mobile application has typically followed the seasonal pattern of the residential real estate industry. Monthly average visitors in 2022 were impacted by adverse macroeconomic conditions. See section “Adverse Macroeconomic Conditions and Our Associated Actions” under Item 7. Segment Financial Information The tables below present, for each of our reportable and other segments, financial information on a GAAP basis and adjusted EBITDA, which is a non- GAAP financial measure, for the year ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our GAAP segment reporting. To supplement our consolidated financial statements that are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we also compute and present adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors because it enhances period-to-period comparability of our financial statements on a consistent basis and provides investors with useful insight into the underlying trends of the business. The presentation of this financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute of, or superior to, our financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our calculation of adjusted EBITDA may be different from adjusted EBITDA or similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting its usefulness for comparison purposes. Our adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 is presented below, along with a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss. 37 Table of Contents Revenue Cost of revenue Gross profit Operating expenses Technology and development Marketing General and administrative Restructuring and reorganization Total operating expenses Loss from operations Interest income, interest expense, income tax expense, gain on extinguishment of convertible senior notes, and other expense, net Net loss Year ended December 31, 2022 Real estate services Properties Rentals Mortgage Other Corporate Overhead and Intercompany Eliminations $ 787,076 $ 608,027 179,049 1,202,651 $ 1,225,717 (23,066) 155,910 $ 33,416 122,494 132,904 $ 126,552 6,352 23,684 $ 22,460 1,224 (17,783) $ (17,783) — 105,196 98,673 88,171 — 292,040 (112,991) 17,326 2,762 11,203 — 31,291 (54,357) 59,899 51,064 92,728 — 203,691 (81,197) 6,034 4,889 25,680 — 36,603 (30,251) 3,591 199 3,307 — 7,097 (5,873) 4,204 484 33,504 40,469 78,661 (78,661) Total 2,284,442 1,998,389 286,053 196,250 158,071 254,593 40,469 649,383 (363,330) (123) (113,114) $ $ (7,607) (61,964) $ 1,389 (79,808) $ (114) (30,365) $ 140 (5,733) $ 48,502 (30,159) $ 42,187 (321,143) (1) (2) Net loss Interest income Interest expense Income tax expense Depreciation and amortization Stock-based compensation (3) Acquisition-related costs (4) Restructuring and reorganization Impairment Gain on extinguishment of convertible senior notes (5) (6) Adjusted EBITDA Year ended December 31, 2022 Real estate services Properties Rentals Mortgage Other $ (113,114) $ (61,964) $ — — — 17,526 36,652 — — — (1,266) 8,859 10 2,335 5,238 — — — — (58,936) $ — (46,788) $ $ (79,808) $ (24) — (1,077) 38,683 11,319 — — — — (30,907) $ (30,365) $ (10,499) 8,580 — 3,438 4,132 — — — — (24,714) $ (5,733) $ (143) — — 1,089 1,496 — — — — (3,291) $ Corporate Overhead and Intercompany Eliminations (30,159) $ (5,181) 8,778 1,193 1,836 9,420 2,437 40,469 1,136 (57,193) (27,264) $ Total (321,143) (17,113) 26,217 126 64,907 68,257 2,437 40,469 1,136 (57,193) (191,900) (1) Interest income includes $10.5 million of interest income related to originated mortgage loans for the year ended December 31, 2022.

(5) Impairment primarily consists of an impairment cost related to our cost method investments. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $239.8 million and investments of $151.7 million, which consist primarily of operating cash on deposit with financial institutions, money market instruments, U.S. treasury securities, and agency bonds. Also, as of December 31, 2022, we had $1,117.2 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes outstanding across three issuances maturing between July 15, 2023 and April 1, 2027. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for our obligations to pay semi-annual interest and to repay any outstanding amounts at the notes' maturity. Between November 13, 2022 and December 27, 2022, we repurchased and retired an aggregate amount of $142.5 million of our 2025 convertible senior notes pursuant to the repurchase program authorized by our board of directors on October 17, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, $166.4 million remained available for future repurchases pursuant to the foregoing repurchase program. Also, as of December 31, 2022, we had 40,000 shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for our obligations to pay quarterly interest and to redeem any outstanding shares on November 30, 2024. 40 Table of Contents On November 2022, we announced that we were winding down RedfinNow. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on changes to inventory related to home purchases and home sales for our properties business during 2022. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the secured revolving credit facility previously used to purchase RedfinNow homes, which we terminated on December 29, 2022. Our mortgage business has significant cash requirements due to the period of time between its origination of a mortgage loan and the sale of that loan. We have relied on warehouse credit facilities with different lenders to fund substantially the entire portion of the mortgage loans that our mortgage business originates. Once our mortgage business sells a loan in the secondary mortgage market, we use the proceeds to reduce the outstanding balance under the related facility. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our warehouse credit facilities. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and investments, together with cash we expect to generate from future operations, the cash we will generate from the wind-down of RedfinNow, and borrowings from our mortgage warehouse credit facilities, will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our operational needs and our growth, and fulfill our payment obligations with respect to our convertible senior notes and convertible preferred stock. However, our liquidity assumptions may change or prove to be incorrect, and we could exhaust our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect. As a result, we may seek new sources of credit financing or elect to raise additional funds through equity, equity-linked, or debt financing arrangements. We cannot assure you that any additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our title and settlement business holds cash in escrow that we do not record in our consolidated balance sheets. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for more information regarding these amounts. Cash Flows The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated: Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities Net cash used in investing activities Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities 2022 $ Year Ended December 31, 2021 (in thousands) 2020 40,491 $ (184,338) (332,094) (301,568) $ (576,306) 650,341 61,267 (57,119) 694,227 Our operating cash flows result primarily from cash generated by commissions paid to us from our real estate services business and sales of homes from our properties business. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities include payments for personnel-related costs, including employee benefits and bonus programs, marketing and advertising activities, purchases of homes for our properties business, office and occupancy costs, and outside services costs. Additionally, our mortgage business generates a significant amount operating cash flow activity from the origination and sale of loans held for sale. Net cash provided by operating activities was $40.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily attributable to changes in assets and liabilities of $244.7 million and $116.9 million of non-cash items related to stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, gain on extinguishment of convertible senior notes, amortization of debt discounts and issuances costs, lease expense related to right-of-use assets, and other non-cash items. This was offset by a net loss of $321.1 million. The primary source of cash related to changes in our assets and liabilities was a $243.9 million decrease in inventory related to the wind-down of RedfinNow. The primary use of cash related to changes in our assets and liabilities was a $48.9 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities related to the timing of vendor payments and payroll-related expenses. 41 Table of Contents Net cash used in operating activities was $301.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily attributable to a net loss of $109.6 million, offset by $114.8 million of non-cash items related to stock- based compensation, depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt discounts and issuances costs, lease expense related to right-of-use assets, impairment charges related to one of our cost-method investments, and other non-cash items. Changes in assets and liabilities decreased cash provided by operating activities by $306.8 million. The primary source of cash related to changes in our assets and liabilities was a $28.9 million increase in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities related to the timing of vendor payments and payroll related expenses. The primary use of cash related to changes in our assets and liabilities was a $309.1 million increase in inventory related to our properties business. Net cash provided by operating activities was $61.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily attributable to a net loss of $18.5 million, offset by $77.2 million of non-cash items related to stock- based compensation, depreciation and amortization expenses, amortization of debt discounts and issuances costs, and lease expense related to right-of-use assets. Changes in assets and liabilities increased cash used in operating activities by $2.6 million. The primary sources of cash related to changes in our assets and liabilities were a $41.2 million increase in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities related to the timing of vendor payments and payroll related expenses, and a $25.4 million decrease in inventory related to our properties business. The primary uses of cash related to changes in our assets and liabilities were a $35.5 million increase in accounts receivable related to the timing of escrow payments in- transit, a $19.5 million increase in net loans held for sale related to our mortgage business, and an $11.3 million decrease in lease liabilities. Net Cash Used In Investing Activities Our primary investing activities include acquisitions of other companies and the purchase of investments and property and equipment, primarily related to capitalized software development expenses and leasehold improvements. Net cash used in investing activities was $184.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily attributable to cash paid for our acquisition of Bay Equity of $97.3 million, $65.5 million in net investments in U.S. government securities, and $21.5 million in purchases of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities was $576.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily attributable to cash paid for our acquisition of Rent. of $608.0 million, $59.2 million in net investments in U.S. government securities, and $17.6 million of capitalized software development expenses. Net cash used in investing activities was $57.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily attributable to $42.4 million in net investments in U.S. government securities, $5.8 million related to equipment, furnishings and leasehold improvements for new or expansion of existing office space, and $8.9 million of capitalized software development expenses. Net Cash (Used In) Provided By Financing Activities Our primary financing activities have come from (i) our initial public offering in August 2017, (ii) sales of our common stock and 2023 notes in July 2018, our common stock and convertible preferred stock in April 2020, our 2025 notes in October 2020, and our 2027 notes in March 2021, and (iii) the sale of our common stock pursuant to stock option exercises and our ESPP. Additionally, we generate a significant amount of financing cash flow activity due to borrowings from and repayments to our warehouse credit facilities and, historically, our secured revolving credit facility, which we terminated on December 29, 2022. Net cash used in financing activities was $332.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily attributable to a $199.8 million decrease in net borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility, $83.6 million used in connection with repurchases of our 2025 notes, and a $51.1 million decrease in net borrowings under our warehouse credit facilities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $650.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily attributable to $498.9 million in net proceeds from the issuance of our 2027 notes offering, a $175.8 million increase in net borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility, and $22.8 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to our equity compensation plans. 42 Table of Contents Net cash provided by financing activities was $694.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily attributable to $647.5 million in net proceeds from the issuance of our 2025 notes offering, $109.5 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock and our convertible preferred stock offering, $21.1 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to our equity compensation plans, a $19.5 million increase in net borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility, and a $17.7 million increase in our net borrowings under our warehouse credit facilities. This was partially offset by $108.1 million used in connection with repurchases and conversions of our 2023 notes. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, revenue, and expenses at the date of the financial statements. Generally, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions in accordance with GAAP that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that we consider the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations because they require our most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies and estimates addressed below. In addition, we have other key accounting policies and estimates that are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition Our key revenue components are brokerage revenue, partner revenue, properties revenue, rentals revenue, mortgage revenue, and other revenue. Of these, we consider the most critical of our revenue recognition policies to be those related to commissions and fees charged on brokerage transactions closed by our lead agents, and from the sale of homes. We recognize commission-based brokerage revenue upon closing of a brokerage transaction, less the amount of any commission refunds, closing-cost reductions, or promotional offers that may result in a material right. We determined that brokerage revenue primarily contains a single performance obligation that is satisfied upon the closing of a transaction, at which point the entire transaction price is earned. We evaluate our brokerage contracts and promotional pricing to determine if there are any additional material rights and allocate the transaction price based on standalone selling prices. Properties revenue is earned when we sell homes that were previously bought directly from homeowners. Our contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation that is satisfied upon a transaction closing. Properties revenue is recorded at closing on a gross basis, representing the sales price of the home. Rentals revenue is primarily recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, which is generally less than one year. Revenue is presented net of sales allowances, which are not material. Mortgage revenue is recognized (1) when an interest rate lock commitment is made to a customer, adjusted for a pull-through percentage, (2) for origination fees, when the purchase or refinance of a loan is complete, and (3) when the fair value of our interest rate lock commitments, forward sale commitments, and loans held for sale are recorded at current market quotes. We have utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , and elected not to capitalize contract costs for contracts with customers with durations less than one year. We do not have significant remaining performance obligations or contract balances. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our revenue recognition policy. 43 Table of Contents Acquired Intangible Assets and Goodwill We recognize separately identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Determining the fair value of the intangible assets acquired requires management’s judgment, often utilizes third-party valuation specialists, and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amounts of future cash flows, discount rates, replacement costs, and asset lives, among other estimates. The judgments made in the determination of the estimated fair value assigned to the intangible assets acquired and the estimated useful life of each asset could significantly impact our consolidated financial statements in periods after the acquisition, such as through depreciation and amortization expense. We evaluate intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable. We measure recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of an asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to impairment testing. We assess the impairment of goodwill on an annual basis, during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. We assess goodwill for possible impairment by performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. When utilizing a quantitative assessment, we determine fair value at the reporting unit level based on a combination of an income approach and market approach. The income approach is based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a rate that approximates the cost of capital of a market participant, while the market approach is based on guideline public company multiples and adjusted for the specific size and risk profile of the reporting units. For fiscal year 2022, we performed a quantitative assessment and concluded that there was no impairment to any of our reporting units. No goodwill impairment charges were recorded in fiscal 2022 or 2021. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for a summary of our valuation of the Bay Equity intangible assets, along with their estimated useful lives. Inventory Our inventory represents homes purchased with the intent of resale and are accounted for under the specific identification method. Direct home acquisition and improvement costs are capitalized and tracked directly with each specific home. Homes are stated in inventory at cost and are reviewed on a home by home basis. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of a home is lower than its cost, we recognize the difference as a loss in the period in which it occurs. In determining net realizable value, management must use judgment and estimates, including assessment of readily available market value indicators such as the Redfin Estimate and other third-party home value indicators, assessment of a current listing or pending offer price if either are available, and the value of any improvements made to the home. If a home's estimated market value is less than the inventory cost then the home is written down to net realizable value. In determining net realizable value, we use judgment and estimates, including assessment of readily available market value indicators. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference is recognized in cost of revenue and the value of the corresponding asset is reduced. As of December 31, 2022, we had $8.4 million in inventory write-downs. We will continue to monitor our reserve and may make further material adjustments in the future due to changing market conditions, natural disasters, or other forces outside of our control. On November 7, 2022, we decided to wind-down RedfinNow. We expect to complete the liquidation of our RedfinNow inventory in the second quarter of 2023. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for a summary of our inventory categories and any net realizable write-downs. 44 Table of Contents Business Combinations The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. We record assets and liabilities of an acquired business at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. The purchase price allocation process requires our management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Although we believe the assumptions and estimates made are reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and based in part on experience, market conditions, projections of future performance, and information obtained from legacy management of acquired companies. Critical estimates include but are not limited to: • • • future revenue, cost of revenue and operating margin projections, discount rates, terminal growth rate; and • market data of comparable guideline companies. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for a summary of our business combinations activities. Recent Accounting Standards For information on recent accounting standards, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Our primary operations are within the United States and in the first quarter of 2019 we launched limited operations in Canada. We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily consist of fluctuations in interest rates. Interest Rate Risk Our investment policy allows us to maintain a portfolio of cash equivalents and investments in a variety of securities, including U.S. treasury and agency issues, bank certificates of deposit that are 100% insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and SEC-registered money market funds that consist of a minimum of $1 billion in assets and meet the above requirements. The goals of our investment policy are liquidity and capital preservation. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. As of December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $239.8 million and investments of $151.7 million. Our investments are composed of available-for-sale securities that consist primarily of U.S. treasury securities with maturities of two years or less. We believe we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of these assets as a result of changes in interest rates due to the relatively short-term nature and risk profile of our portfolio. Declines in interest rates, however, would reduce future investment income. Assuming no change in our outstanding cash, cash equivalents, and investments during the first quarter of 2022, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates, occurring during and sustained throughout that quarter, would not have a material impact on our financial results for that quarter. We are exposed to interest rate risk on our mortgage loans held for sale and IRLCs associated with our mortgage loan origination services. We manage this interest rate risk through the use of forward sales commitments on both a best efforts whole loans basis and on a mandatory basis. Forward sales commitments entered into on a mandatory basis are done through the use of commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities. We do not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The fair value of our IRLCs and forward sales commitments are reflected in other current assets and accrued and other liabilities, as applicable, with changes in the fair value of these commitments recognized as revenue. The net fair value change for the periods presented were not material. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for a summary of the fair value of our forward sales commitments and our IRLCs. 45 Table of Contents Foreign Currency Exchange Risk As our operations in Canada have been limited, and we do not maintain a significant balance of foreign currency, we do not currently face significant foreign currency exchange rate risk. 46 Table of Contents Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Index to Consolidated Financial Statements Reports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (PCAOB ID No.34) Consolidated Balance Sheets Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows Consolidated Statements of Changes in Mezzanine Equity and Stockholders' Equity Index to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 47 Page 48 50 51 52 53 54 Index to Consolidated Financial Statements REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Redfin Corporation Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Redfin Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, cash flows, and changes in mezzanine equity and stockholders' equity, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 16, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Valuation of Inventory –– Refer to Footnote 1 and Footnote 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements As discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, net inventory was $114.3 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $358.2 million as of December 31, 2021. Inventory includes residential homes acquired through the Company’s RedfinNow business and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, lower of cost or net realizable value write-downs were $8.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively. On a periodic basis, management reviews the value of homes held in inventory for indicators that net realizable value is lower than cost. In determining net realizable value, management uses judgment and estimates, including assessment of readily available market value indicators. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference is recognized in cost of revenue and the value of the corresponding asset is reduced. Given the significant judgment required by management in estimating the net realizable value of inventory, specifically the estimated selling price of each home, our associated audit procedures required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort. Accordingly, we considered the audit of the estimated net realizable value of inventory to be a critical audit matter. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to management’s estimate of the net realizable value of inventory included the following, among others: • We tested the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over the determination of net realizable value. • We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s process for developing estimates where a net realizable value was not readily available or observable. • We discussed with management the Company’s plans to sell the December 31, 2022 inventory and evaluated whether management’s assessment of net realizable value of inventory was consistent with information obtained through such inquiries. • We tested a sample of homes in inventory to determine whether the net realizable value of these homes was reasonable. To make this determination we obtained and inspected, where available, sales contracts to sell the inventory after December 31, 2022. For homes for which a sales contract was not available, we considered alternate evidence including external data on sales prices for comparable homes in the same geographic location as our audit selections. • We evaluated management’s ability to develop reasonable estimates of net realizable value by comparing prior period estimates of net realizable value to the actual selling prices for homes sold in 2022. • We tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s analysis. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Seattle, Washington February 16, 2023 We have served as the Company's auditor since 2013. 48 Index to Consolidated Financial Statements REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Redfin Corporation Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Redfin Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, of the Company and our report dated February 17, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Bay Equity LLC (“Bay Equity”), which was acquired on April 1, 2022, and whose financial statements constitute 29.6% of total assets (after excluding goodwill and intangible assets which were integrated with the Company’s systems and control environment), 5.7% of revenues, and 5.4% of net loss of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at Bay Equity. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Seattle, Washington February 16, 2023 49 Index to Consolidated Financial Statements Redfin Corporation and Subsidiaries

Certain amounts presented in the prior period consolidated statements of comprehensive loss have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. The change in classification does not affect previously reported total revenue or expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Redfin and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including those entities in which we have a variable interest and of which we are the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain Significant Risks and Business Uncertainties —We operate in the residential real estate industry and are a technology-focused company. Accordingly, we are affected by a variety of factors that could have a significant negative effect on our future financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. These factors include: negative macroeconomic factors affecting the health of the U.S. residential real estate industry, the continued impact of COVID-19 on the residential real estate industry, negative factors disproportionately affecting markets where we derive most of our revenue, intense competition in the U.S. residential real estate industry, our inability to maintain or improve our technology offerings, our failure to obtain and provide comprehensive and accurate real estate listings, errors or inaccuracies in the business data that we rely on to make decisions, and our inability to attract homebuyers and home sellers to our website and mobile application. Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and results of operations during the respective periods. Our estimates include, but are not limited to, valuation of deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation, net realizable value of inventory, capitalization of website and software development costs, the incremental borrowing rate for the determination of the present value of lease payments, recoverability of intangible assets with finite lives, fair value of our mortgage loans held for sale (“LHFS”) and mortgage servicing rights, estimated useful life of intangible assets, fair value of reporting units for purposes of allocating and evaluating goodwill for impairment, and current expected credit losses on certain financial assets. The amounts ultimately realized from the affected assets or ultimately recognized as liabilities will depend on, among other factors, general business conditions and could differ materially in the near term from the carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Cash and Cash Equivalents —We consider all highly liquid investments originally purchased by us with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash—Restricted cash primarily consists of cash that is specifically designated to repay borrowings under warehouse credit facilities and the secured revolving credit facility. We terminated the secured revolving credit facility on December 29, 2022. 55 Index to Notes Accounts Receivable, Net and Allowance for Credit Losses —We have three material classes of receivables: (i) real estate services receivables, (ii) receivables from the sale of homes through our properties business, and (iii) receivables from customers in relation to our rentals business. Accounts receivable related to these classes represent closed transactions for which cash has not yet been received. The majority of our transactions are processed through escrow and collectibility is not a significant risk. For transactions not directly processed through escrow, we establish an allowance for expected credit losses based on historical experience of collectibility, current external economic conditions that may affect collectibility, and current or expected changes to the regulatory environment in which we operate our businesses. We evaluate for changes in credit quality indicators on an annual basis or in the event of a material economic event or material change in the regulatory environment in which we operate. Investments—We have investments in marketable securities that are available to support our operational needs, which are included in our consolidated balance sheets as short-term and long-term investments. Our short-term and long-term investments consist primarily of U.S. treasury securities, including inflation protected securities, and other federal or local government issued securities. Available-for-sale debt securities are recorded at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Securities with maturities of one year or less and those identified by management at the time of purchase to be used to fund operations within one year are classified as short-term. All other securities are classified as long-term. We evaluate our available-for-sale debt securities, both ones classified as cash equivalents and as investments, for expected credit losses on a quarterly basis. An expected credit loss reserve is charged against the fair value of an available-for-sale debt security when it is identified, with a credit loss charged against net earnings. We review factors to determine whether an expected credit loss exists based on credit quality indicators, such as the extent to which the fair value as of the reporting date is less than the amortized cost basis, present value of cash flows expected to be collected, the financial condition and prospects of the issuer, adverse conditions specifically related to the security, and any changes to the credit rating of the security by a rating agency. Realized gains and losses are accounted for using the specific identification method. Purchases and sales are recorded on a trade date basis. Fair Value—We account for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The current accounting guidance for fair value measurements defines a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures as follows: Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and require us to develop our own assumptions. The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our financial instruments consist of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 assets and liabilities. Concentration of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents and investments. We generally place our cash and cash equivalents and investments with major financial institutions we deem to be of high-credit-quality in order to limit our credit exposure. We maintain our cash accounts with financial institutions where deposits exceed federal insurance limits. 56 Index to Notes Inventory—Our inventory represents homes purchased with the intent of resale and are accounted for under the specific identification method. Direct home acquisition and improvement costs are capitalized and tracked directly with each specific home. Homes are stated in inventory at cost and are reviewed on a home by home basis. If a home's estimated market value is less than the inventory cost then the home is written down to net realizable value. In determining net realizable value, we use judgment and estimates, including assessment of readily available market value indicators. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference is recognized in cost of revenue and the value of the corresponding asset is reduced. We classify inventory into three categories: homes for sale, homes not available for sale, and homes under improvement. Homes for sale represent homes that are currently listed on the market for sale and homes which we are under a contractual commitment to sell after the escrow period. Homes not available for sale are generally recently purchased homes that have been temporarily rented back to the prior owner and are not listed on the market for sale. The rental period is typically less than 30 days. Homes under improvement are homes that are in the process of being prepared to be listed for sale. Variable Interest Entities —In connection with establishing a secured revolving credit facility to support the financing of homes that it purchases, RedfinNow formed a special purpose entity called RedfinNow Borrower, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Redfin Corporation. We have determined that RedfinNow Borrower is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and that we are the primary beneficiary of the variable interest in RedfinNow Borrower based on our power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic outcomes of the entity through our role in designing the entity and managing the homes purchased and sold by the entity. We have a potentially significant variable interest in the entity based upon our equity interest held in the VIE. As we have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary, we have included the accounts of the VIE in our consolidated financial statements. The lender of the secured revolving credit facility does not have recourse against the general credit of the primary beneficiary beyond the circumstances disclosed in Note 15. See Note 15 for a summary of the secured revolving credit facility, including outstanding borrowings associated with the VIE and related collateral. On November 7, 2022, we decided to wind-down RedfinNow and on December 29, 2022, we terminated our secured revolving credit facility. Loans Held for Sale—Our mortgage segment originates residential mortgage loans. We have elected the fair value option for all loans held for sale and record these loans at fair value. Gains and losses from changes in fair value and direct loan origination fees and costs are recognized in net gain on loans held for sale. The fair value of loans held for sale is in excess of the contractual principal amounts by $2,650 and $660, respectively, as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The mortgage loans we originate are intended to be sold in the secondary mortgage market within a short period of time following origination. Mortgage loans held for sale primarily consist of single-family residential loans collateralized by the underlying home. Mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at fair value based on either sale commitments or current market quotes for mortgage loans with similar characteristics. Interest income earned or expense incurred on loans held for sale is captured as a component of income from operations. Other Current Assets —Other current assets consist primarily of miscellaneous non-trade receivables, interest receivable, and interest rate lock commitments from mortgage origination operations (see Derivative Instruments below). Derivative Instruments—Our mortgage segment is party to interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs“) with customers resulting from mortgage origination operations. IRLCs for single-family mortgage loans that we intend to sell are considered free-standing derivatives. All free-standing derivatives are required to be recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Since we can terminate a loan commitment if the borrower does not comply with the terms of the contract, and some loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, these commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. 57 Index to Notes Interest rate risk related to the residential mortgage loans held for sale and IRLCs is offset using forward sales commitments. We manage this interest rate risk through the use of forward sales commitments on both a best efforts whole loans basis and on a mandatory basis. Forward sales commitments entered into on a mandatory basis are done through the use of commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities. We do not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Changes in the fair value of IRLCs and forward sales commitments are recognized as revenue, and the fair values are reflected in other current assets and accrued and other liabilities, as applicable. We estimate the fair value of an IRLC based on current market quotes for mortgage loans with similar characteristics, net of origination costs and fees adjusting for the probability that the mortgage loan will not fund according to the terms of commitment (referred to as a pull-through factor). The fair value measurements of our forward sales commitments use prices quoted directly to us from our counterparties. Property and Equipment—Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Depreciation and amortization is included in cost of revenue, marketing, technology and development, and general and administrative and is allocated based on estimated usage for each class of asset. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related asset. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of website and software development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, direct internal and external costs relating to upgrades or enhancements that meet the capitalization criteria are capitalized in property and equipment and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Maintenance and enhancement costs (including those costs in the post- implementation stages) are typically expensed as incurred, unless such costs relate to substantial upgrades and enhancements to the websites (or software) that result in added functionality, in which case the costs are capitalized. Capitalized software development activities placed in service are amortized over the expected useful lives of those releases. We view capitalized software costs as either internal use, or market and product expansion. Currently, internal use and expansion useful lives are estimated at two to three years. Estimated useful lives of website and software development activities are reviewed annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that intangible assets may be impaired, and adjusted as appropriate to reflect upcoming development activities that may include significant upgrades or enhancements to the existing functionality. Intangible Assets—Intangible assets are finite lived and mainly consist of trade names, developed technology, and customer relationships and are amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years. The useful lives were determined by estimating future cash flows generated by the acquired intangible assets. Fair values are derived by applying various valuation methodologies including the income approach and cost approach, using critical estimates and assumptions that include the revenue growth rate, royalty rate, discount rate, and cost to replace. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets —Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured first by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset were considered to be impaired, an impairment loss would be recognized in the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. To date, no such impairment has occurred. Goodwill—Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to impairment testing. We assess the impairment of goodwill on an annual basis, during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. 58 Index to Notes We perform an impairment assessment of goodwill at our reporting unit level. To test for goodwill impairment, we have the option to perform a qualitative assessment of goodwill rather than completing the quantitative assessment. We consider macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, other relevant entity-specific events, potential events affecting the reporting units, and changes in the fair value of our common stock. We must assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude this is not the case, we do not need to perform any further assessment. Otherwise, we must perform a quantitative assessment and compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, goodwill is written down for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. However, the loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. We use a combination of discounted cash flow models and market data of comparable guideline companies to determine the fair value of a reporting unit. The assumptions used in these models are consistent with those we believe a market participant would use and adjusted for the specific size and risk profile of the reporting units. The aggregate carrying value of goodwill was $ 461,349 and $409,382 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we performed a quantitative assessment and concluded that there was no impairment. See Note 9 for more information. Other Assets, Noncurrent—Other assets consists primarily of leased building security deposits and the noncurrent portion of prepaid assets. Leases—The extent of our lease commitments consists of operating leases for physical office locations with original terms ranging from one to 11 years. We have accounted for the portfolio of leases by disaggregation based on the nature and term of the lease. Generally, the leases require a fixed minimum rent with contractual minimum rent increases over the term of the lease. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheets, but rather lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. When available, the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value would be used; however, none of our significant leases as of December 31, 2022 provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate for each portfolio of leases to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. We have evaluated the performance of existing leases in relation to our leasing strategy and have determined that most renewal options would not be reasonably certain to be exercised. The right-of-use asset and related lease liability are determined based on the lease component of the consideration in each lease contract. We have evaluated our lease portfolio for appropriate allocation of the consideration in the lease contracts between lease and non-lease components based on standalone prices and determined the allocation per the contracts to be appropriate. A portion of the right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2022, $413 and $352, respectively. Mezzanine Equity—We have issued convertible preferred stock that we have determined is a financial instrument with both equity and debt characteristics and is classified as mezzanine equity in our consolidated financial statements. The instrument was initially recognized at fair value net of issuance costs. We reassess whether the instrument is currently redeemable or probable to become redeemable in the future as of each reporting date, in which, if the instrument meets either criteria, we will accrete the carrying value to the redemption value based on the effective interest method over the remaining term. To assess classification, we review all features of the instrument, including mandatory redemption features and conversion features that may be substantive. All financial instruments that are classified as mezzanine equity are evaluated for embedded derivative features by evaluating each feature against the nature of the host instrument (e.g. more equity-like or debt-like). Features identified as embedded derivatives that are material are recognized separately as a derivative asset or liability in the consolidated financial statements. We have evaluated our convertible preferred stock and determined that its nature is that of an equity host and no material embedded derivatives exist that would require bifurcation on our consolidated balance sheets. See Note 11 for more information. 59 Index to Notes Foreign Currency Translation—Our international operations generally use their local currency as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average monthly exchange rates during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are reported as a component of other comprehensive income and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on our consolidated balance sheets. Income Taxes—Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the consolidated balance sheets and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the applicable enacted tax rates. We establish a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will expire before we are able to realize their benefits or if future deductibility is uncertain. We account for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes . Tax positions are evaluated utilizing a two-step process, whereby we first determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authority, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on technical merit. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Subsequent adjustments to amounts previously recorded impact the financial statements in the period during which the changes are identified. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. Convertible Senior Notes—In accounting for the issuance of our convertible senior notes, we treat the instrument wholly as a liability, in accordance with the adoption of ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity ("ASU 2020-06"). Issuance costs are amortized to expense over the respective term of the convertible senior notes. For conversions prior to the maturity of the notes, we will settle using cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. The carrying amount of the instrument (including unamortized debt issuance costs) is reduced by cash and other assets transferred, with the difference reflected as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. The indentures governing our convertible senior notes allow us, under certain circumstances, to irrevocably fix our method for settling conversions of the applicable notes by giving notice to the noteholders. Our election to irrevocably fix the settlement method could affect the calculation of diluted earnings per share when applicable. We have no plans to exercise our rights to fix the settlement method. When we repurchase a portion of our convertible senior notes, we will derecognize the liability, accelerate the amortization of debt issuance costs, and record on our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss a gain or loss on extinguishment dependent on the repurchase price. See Note 15 for information regarding repurchases for the year ended December 31, 2022. Revenue Recognition—We generate revenue primarily from commissions and fees charged on each real estate services transaction closed by our lead agents or partner agents, from the sale of homes, from subscription-based product offerings for our rentals business, and from the origination, sales, and servicing of mortgages. Our key revenue components are brokerage revenue, partner revenue, properties revenue, rentals revenue, mortgage revenue, and other revenue. We have utilized the allowable practical expedient in the accounting guidance and elected not to capitalize costs related to obtaining contracts with customers with durations of less than one year. We do not have significant remaining performance obligations. Revenue earned but not received is recorded as accrued revenue in accounts receivable on our consolidated balance sheets, net of an allowance for credit losses. Accrued revenue consisting of commission revenue is known and is clearing escrow, and therefore it is not estimated. 60 Index to Notes Nature and Disaggregation of Revenue Real Estate Services Revenue Brokerage Revenue—Brokerage revenue includes our offer and listing services, where our lead agents represent homebuyers and home sellers. We recognize commission-based brokerage revenue upon closing of a brokerage transaction, less the amount of any commission refunds, closing-cost reductions, or promotional offers that may result in a material right. The transaction price is generally calculated by taking the agreed upon commission rate and applying that to the home's selling price. Brokerage revenue primarily contains a single performance obligation that is satisfied upon the closing of a transaction, at which point the entire transaction price is earned. We are not entitled to any commission until the performance obligation is satisfied and are not owed any commission for unsuccessful transactions, even if services have been provided. In conjunction with providing offering and listing services to our customers, we may offer promotional pricing or additional discounts on future services. This results in a material right to our customers and represents an additional performance obligation, for which the transaction price is allocated based on standalone selling prices. Amounts allocated to a promise to provide future listing or offering services at a significant discount are initially recorded as contract liabilities. Our promotional pricing and additional discounts have not resulted in a material impact to timing of revenue recognition. The balance of the corresponding contract liabilities are included in accrued and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. See Note 10 for more information. Partner Revenue—Partner revenue consists of fees paid to us from partner agents or under other referral agreements, less the amount of any payments we make to homebuyers and home sellers. We recognize these fees as revenue on the closing of a transaction. The transaction price is a fixed percentage of the partner agent's commission. The partner agent or other entity related to our referral agreements directly remits the referral fee revenue to us. We are neither entitled to referral fee revenue, nor is our performance obligation satisfied, until the related referred home's sale closes. Properties Revenue Properties Revenue—Properties revenue consists of revenue earned when we sell homes that we previously bought directly from homeowners. Properties revenue is recorded at closing on a gross basis, representing the sales price of the home. Our contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation that is satisfied upon a transaction closing. We do not offer warranties for sold homes, and there are no continuing performance obligations following the transaction close date. Rentals Revenue Rentals Revenue—Rentals revenue is primarily composed of subscription-based product offerings for internet listing services, as well as lead management and digital marketing solutions. Rentals revenue is recorded as a component of service revenue in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised service to customers over time in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services. Revenues from subscription-based services are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, which generally have a term of less than one year. Revenue is presented net of sales allowances, which are not material. The transaction price for a contract is generally determined by the stated price in the contract, excluding any related sales taxes. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of subscription services, which are capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. Generally, the combinations of subscription services are fulfilled concurrently and are co-terminus. Our rentals contracts do not contain any refund provisions other than in the event of our non-performance or breach. 61 Index to Notes Mortgage Revenue Mortgage Revenue—Mortgage revenue includes fees from the origination and subsequent sale of loans, loan servicing income, interest income on loans held for sale, origination of IRLCs, and the changes in fair value of our IRLCs, forward sales commitments, loans held for sale, and MSRs. Other Revenue Other Revenue—Other services revenue includes fees earned from title settlement services, Walk Score data services, and advertising. Substantially all fees and revenue from other services are recognized when the service is provided. Intercompany Eliminations Intercompany Eliminations—Revenue earned from transactions between operating segments are eliminated in consolidating our financial statements. Intercompany transactions primarily consist of services performed from our real estate services segment for our properties segment. Cost of Revenue—Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs (including base pay, benefits, and stock-based compensation), transaction bonuses, home-touring and field expenses, listing expenses, home costs related to our properties segment, customer fulfillment costs related to our rentals segment, office and occupancy expenses, interest expense on our mortgage related warehouse facilities, and depreciation and amortization related to fixed assets and acquired intangible assets. Home costs related to our properties segment include home purchase costs, capitalized improvements, selling expenses directly attributable to the transaction, and home maintenance expenses. Technology and Development—Technology and development expenses primarily include personnel costs (including base pay, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation), data licenses, software and equipment, and infrastructure such as for data centers and hosted services. The expenses also include amortization of capitalized internal-use software and website and mobile application development costs as well as amortization of acquired intangible assets. We expense research and development costs as incurred and record them in technology and development expenses. Advertising and Advertising Production Costs—We expense advertising costs as they are incurred and production costs as of the first date the advertisement takes place. Advertising costs and advertising production costs are included in marketing expenses. The following table summarizes total advertising and advertising production costs for the periods listed: Advertising costs Advertising production costs 2022 $ Year Ended December 31, 2021 133,593 $ 3,425 119,278 $ 2,303 2020 42,919 256 Stock-based Compensation—We account for stock-based compensation by measuring and recognizing as compensation expense the fair value of all share-based payment awards made to employees, including stock options and restricted stock unit awards, and shares forecasted to be issued pursuant to our ESPP, in each case based on estimated grant date fair values. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model is used to determine the fair value of stock options and shares forecasted to be issued pursuant to our ESPP. For restricted stock unit awards and restricted stock unit awards with performance conditions, we use the market value of our common stock on the date of grant to determine the fair value of the award. For restricted stock unit awards with market conditions, the market condition is reflected in the grant date fair value of the award using a Monte Carlo simulation. In valuing stock options and shares forecasted to be issued pursuant to our ESPP, we make assumptions about expected life, stock price volatility, risk- free interest rates, and expected dividends. Expected Life—The expected term was estimated using the simplified method allowed under guidance from the SEC as our historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. 62 Index to Notes Volatility—The expected stock price volatility for our common stock was estimated by taking the average historical price volatility for industry peers based on daily price observations. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the real estate and technology industries. Risk-Free Rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the yields of U.S. treasury securities with maturities similar to the expected term of the options for each option group. Dividend Yield—We have never declared or paid any cash dividends and do not presently plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero was used. Business Combinations—The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. We record assets and liabilities of an acquired business at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Restructuring and Reorganization—Restructuring and reorganization expenses primarily consist of employee termination costs (including severance, retention, benefits, and payroll taxes) associated with the restructuring and reorganization activities from our acquisitions of Bay Equity LLC (“Bay Equity”), our mortgage business, and Rent Group Inc. (“Rent.”), our rentals business, and from our June 2022 workforce reduction. Restructuring and reorganization expenses will also include additional expenses throughout 2022 and into 2023 related to our November 9, 2022 workforce reduction and wind-down of our RedfinNow operations. These expenses are included in restructuring and reorganization in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and in accrued and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. We expect to complete our restructuring and reorganization activities by the end of 2023. Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”)—We determine the fair value of MSRs using a valuation model that calculates the net present value of estimated future cash flows. Key estimates of future cash flows include prepayment speeds, default rates, discount rates, cost of servicing, objective portfolio characteristics, and others factors. Changes in these estimates could materially change the estimated fair value. Lease Impairment—During the year ended December 31, 2022 we recognized impairment losses of $ 1,136 due to subleasing two of our operating leases. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements—None applicable. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—None applicable. Note 2: Business Combinations On April 1, 2022, we acquired, for $ 139,671 in cash, all of the equity interests of Bay Equity, and Bay Equity became one of our wholly owned subsidiaries. We acquired Bay Equity to expand our mortgage business. The results of operations and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The revenue from Bay Equity is reported in our mortgage segment in Note 3. The goodwill recognized in connection with our acquisition of Bay Equity is primarily attributable to the anticipated synergies from future growth of the combined business and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. We assigned the recognized goodwill of $51,967 to the mortgage segment. 63 Index to Notes The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the Bay Equity acquisition and is subject to revision as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information about the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed becomes available: Cash and cash equivalents Restricted cash Accounts receivable Prepaid expenses Other current assets Property and equipment, net Operating lease right-of-use assets Loans held for sale Mortgage servicing rights, at fair value Other assets, noncurrent Intangible assets Goodwill Total assets acquired Accounts payable Accrued and other liabilities Lease liabilities Lease liabilities and deposits, noncurrent Warehouse credit facilities Total liabilities assumed Total purchase consideration $ $ 39,963 2,367 9,697 1,222 19,262 897 4,995 213,891 33,982 294 14,510 51,967 393,047 1,747 38,026 2,848 2,147 208,608 253,376 139,671 Acquisition-related costs consisted of external fees for advisory, legal, and other professional services and totaled approximately $ 2,437 for the year ended December 31, 2022. These costs were expensed as incurred and recorded in general and administrative costs in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Identifiable Intangible Assets —The following table provides the fair values of the Bay Equity intangible assets, along with their estimated useful lives: Trade names Developed technology Total Estimated Fair Value Estimated Useful Life (in years) $ $ 11,650 2,860 14,510 5 3 The identifiable intangible assets include trade names and developed technology. Trade names primarily relate to the Bay Equity brand. Developed technology primarily relates to website functionality around data consolidation and optimization which helps drive efficiencies in loan origination and processing. The fair values of trade names and developed technology are derived by applying the relief from royalty method and replacement cost method, respectively. Critical estimates in valuing the intangible assets include revenue growth rate, royalty rate, discount rate, and number of months to recreate the underlying application. Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information —The following table presents unaudited pro forma financial information for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The pro forma financial information combines our results of operations with that of Bay Equity as though the companies had been combined as of January 1, 2021.

Note 3: Segment Reporting and Revenue In its operation of our business, our management, including our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is also our chief executive officer, evaluates the performance of our operating segments based on our statement of operations results, inclusive of net loss. We do not analyze discrete segment balance sheet information related to long-term assets, substantially all of which are located in the United States. We have six operating segments and four reportable segments, real estate services, properties, rentals, and mortgage. As a result of our decision to wind-down RedfinNow operations, we plan to report our properties segment as a discontinued operation beginning with the period during which we complete wind-down of the business. We generate revenue primarily from commissions and fees charged on each real estate services transaction closed by our lead agents or partner agents, from the sale of homes, from subscription-based product offerings for our rentals business, and from the origination, sales, and servicing of mortgages. Our key revenue components are brokerage revenue, partner revenue, properties revenue, rentals revenue, mortgage revenue, and other revenue. Information on each of our reportable and other segments and reconciliation to consolidated net loss is presented in the tables below. We have assigned certain previously reported expenses to each segment to conform to the way we internally manage and monitor our business. We allocated indirect costs to each segment based on a reasonable allocation methodology, when such costs are significant to the performance measures of the segments.

We use forward sales commitments on whole loans and mortgage-backed securities to manage and reduce this risk. We do not have any derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments. Forward Sales Commitments—We are exposed to interest rate and price risk on loans held for sale from the funding date until the date the loan is sold. Forward sales commitments on whole loans and mortgage-backed securities are used to fix the forward sales price that will be realized at the sale of each loan. 66 Index to Notes Interest Rate Lock Commitments—IRLCs represent an agreement to extend credit to a mortgage loan applicant. We commit (subject to loan approval) to fund the loan at the specified rate, regardless of changes in market interest rates between the commitment date and the funding date. Outstanding IRLCs are subject to interest rate risk and related price risk during the period from the date of commitment through the loan funding date or expiration date. Loan commitments generally range between 30 and 90 days and the borrower is not obligated to obtain the loan. Therefore, IRLCs are subject to fallout risk, which occurs when approved borrowers choose not to close on the underlying loans. We review our commitment-to-closing ratio ("pull-through rate") as part of an estimate of the number of mortgage loans that will fund according to the IRLCs.

The estimated fair value of each tranche of convertible senior notes is based on the closing trading price of the notes on the last day of trading for the period, and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, due to the limited trading activity of the notes. Based on the closing price of our common stock of $4.24 on December 31, 2022, the if-converted value of all three convertible notes were less than the principal amounts. See Note 15 for additional details on our convertible senior notes. See Note 11 for the carrying amount of our convertible preferred stock. Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include items such as property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, equity investments, and other assets.

We have evaluated our portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities based on credit quality indicators for expected credit losses and do not believe there are any expected credit losses. In addition, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had not made a decision to sell any of our debt securities held, nor did we consider it more likely than not that we would be required to sell such securities before recovery of our amortized cost basis. Our portfolio consists of U.S. government securities, all with a high quality credit rating issued by various credit agencies. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had accrued interest of $ 576 and $86, respectively, on our available-for-sale investments, for which we have recorded no expected credit losses. Accrued interest receivable is presented within other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

In addition to the matters discussed below, from time to time, we are involved in litigation, claims, and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Except for the matters discussed below, we do not believe that any of our pending litigation, claims, and other proceedings are material to our business. Lawsuit by David Eraker—On May 11, 2020, David Eraker, our co-founder and former chief executive officer who departed Redfin in 2006, filed a complaint through Appliance Computing III, Inc. (d/b/a Surefield) ("Surefield"), which is a company that Mr. Eraker founded and that we believe he controls, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Waco Division. The complaint alleged that we were infringing four patents claimed to be owned by Surefield without its authorization or license. Surefield sought an unspecified amount of damages and an injunction against us offering products and services that allegedly infringe the patents at issue. On May 17, 2022, the jury returned a verdict in our favor, finding that we did not infringe any of the asserted claims of the patents claimed to be owned by Surefield, and accordingly, we do not owe any damages to Surefield. The jury also found that all asserted claims of Surefield’s claimed patents were invalid. The court entered final judgment on August 15, 2022. On September 12, 2022, Surefield filed a motion for judgment as a matter of law and a motion for a new trial. In the motions, Surefield asserts that no jury could have found non-infringement based on the trial record, among other things. We filed oppositions to the motions on October 3, 2022 and Surefield filed replies on October 21, 2022. Lawsuit Alleging Violations of the Fair Housing Act —On October 28, 2020, a group of ten organizations filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The organizations are the National Fair Housing Alliance, the Fair Housing Center of Metropolitan Detroit, the Fair Housing Justice Center, the Fair Housing Rights Center in Southeastern Pennsylvania, the HOPE Fair Housing Center, the Lexington Fair Housing Council, the Long Island Housing Services, the Metropolitan Milwaukee Fair Housing Council, Open Communities, and the South Suburban Housing Center. The complaint alleged that certain of our business policies and practices violate certain provisions of the Fair Housing Act (the “FHA”). The plaintiffs alleged that these policies and practices (i) have the effect of our services being unavailable in predominantly non-white communities on a more frequent basis than predominantly white communities and (ii) are unnecessary to achieve a valid interest or legitimate objective. The complaint focused on the following policies and practices, as alleged by the plaintiffs: (i) a home's price must exceed a certain dollar amount before we offer service through one of our lead agents or partner agents and (ii) our services and pricing structures are available only for homes serviced by one of our lead agents and those same services and pricing structures may not be offered by one of our partner agents. The plaintiffs sought (i) a declaration that our alleged policies and practices violate the FHA, (ii) an order enjoining us from further alleged violations, (iii) an unspecified amount of monetary damages, and (iv) payment of plaintiffs’ attorneys' fees and costs. 72 Index to Notes On April 29, 2022, we settled this lawsuit. As part of the settlement, we paid an aggregate of $ 3,000 to the ten organizations on May 25, 2022 and will pay an additional aggregate of $1,000 to the ten organizations by April 29, 2023. The latter payment will be dedicated to fund programs devoted to expanding home ownership opportunities. In addition to the financial payments, we also agreed to certain changes to our business practices, including expanding our brokerage services to lower-priced homes in certain markets, designating a fair housing compliance officer, revamping our fair housing training, and expanding our diversity recruiting efforts. Lawsuits Alleging Misclassification—On August 28, 2019, Devin Cook, who was one of our former independent contractor licensed sales associates, whom we call associate agents, filed a complaint against us in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco. The plaintiff initially pled the complaint as a class action and alleged that we misclassified her as an independent contractor instead of an employee. The plaintiff also sought unspecified penalties pursuant to representative claims under California’s Private Attorney General Act ("PAGA"). On January 30, 2020, the plaintiff filed a first amended complaint dismissing her class action claim and asserting only claims under PAGA. On November 20, 2020, Jason Bell, who was one of our former lead agents as well as a former associate agent, filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. The complaint was pled as a class action and alleges that, (1) during the time he served as an associate agent, we misclassified him as an independent contractor instead of an employee and (2) during the time he served as a lead agent, we misclassified him as an employee who was exempt from minimum wage and overtime laws. The plaintiff also asserted representative claims under PAGA. The plaintiff sought unspecified amounts of unpaid overtime wages, regular wages, meal and rest period compensation, waiting time and other penalties, injunctive and other equitable relief, and plaintiff's attorneys' fees and costs. On May 23, 2022, pursuant to a combined mediation, we settled the lawsuits brought by Ms. Cook and Mr. Bell for an aggregate of $ 3,000. This amount is subject to adjustment if our actual number of associate agents, lead agents, or their respective workweeks differs from the number that we represented to the plaintiffs. This settlement is subject to each court’s approval. Commitments Purchase Commitments—Purchase commitments primarily relate to network infrastructure for our data operations.

Amortization expense amounted to $38,167 and $26,901 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The following table presents our estimate of remaining amortization expense for intangible assets that existed as of December 31, 2022: 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 Thereafter Estimated remaining amortization expense $ $ Goodwill—The carrying amounts of goodwill by reportable segment were as follows: Balance as of December 31, 2021 Goodwill resulting from acquisition Balance as of December 31, 2022 $ $ 250,231 $ — 250,231 $ 159,151 $ — 159,151 $ — $ 51,967 51,967 $ Real Estate Services Rentals Mortgage Total 38,988 23,741 17,618 17,380 15,633 48,912 162,272 409,382 51,967 461,349 For the year ended December 31, 2022, we performed a quantitative assessment and concluded there was no impairment since it was not more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting units was less than its carrying value. We did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021. Note 10: Accrued and Other Liabilities The components of accrued and other liabilities were as follows: Accrued compensation and benefits Miscellaneous accrued and other liabilities Payroll tax liability deferred by the CARES Act Customer contract liabilities Total accrued and other liabilities 74 December 31, 2022 2021 76,539 $ 27,543 — 5,661 109,743 $ 78,437 25,217 7,760 6,708 118,122 $ $ Index to Notes Note 11: Mezzanine Equity On April 1, 2020, we issued 4,484,305 shares of our common stock, at a price of $ 15.61 per share, and 40,000 shares of our preferred stock, at a price of $1,000 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $ 110,000. We designated this preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (our "convertible preferred stock"). Our convertible preferred stock is classified as mezzanine equity in our consolidated financial statements as the substantive conversion features at the option of the holder precludes liability classification. We have determined there are no material embedded features that require recognition as a derivative asset or liability. We allocated the gross proceeds of $ 110,000 to the common stock issuance and the convertible preferred stock issuance based on the standalone fair value of the issuances, resulting in a fair valuation of $40,000 for the preferred stock, which is also the value of the mandatory redemption amount. As of December 31, 2022, the carrying value of our convertible preferred stock, net of issuance costs, is $ 39,914, and holders have earned unpaid stock dividends in the amount of 30,640 shares of common stock. This stock dividend was issued on January 3, 2023. These shares are included in basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stock, as described in Note 13. As of December 31, 2022, no shares of the preferred stock have been converted, and the preferred stock was not redeemable, nor probable to become redeemable in the future as there is a more than remote chance the shares will be automatically converted prior to the mandatory redemption date. The number of shares of common stock reserved for future issuance resulting from dividends, conversion, or redemption with respect to the preferred stock was 2,622,177 as of the issuance date. Dividends—The holders of our convertible preferred stock are entitled to dividends. Dividends accrue daily based on a 360 day fiscal year at a rate of 5.5% per annum based on the issue price and are payable quarterly in arrears on the first business day following the end of each calendar quarter. Assuming we satisfy certain conditions, we will pay dividends in shares of common stock at a rate of the dividend payable divided by $17.95. If we do not satisfy such conditions, we will pay dividends in a cash amount equal to (i) the dividend shares otherwise issuable on the dividends multiplied by (ii) the volume-weighted average closing price of our common stock for the ten trading days preceding the date the dividends are payable. Participation Rights—Holders of our convertible preferred stock are entitled to dividends paid and distributions made to holders of our common stock to the same extent as if such preferred stockholders had converted their shares of preferred stock into common stock and held such shares on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Conversion—Holders may convert their convertible preferred stock into common stock at any time at a rate per share of preferred stock equal to the issue price divided by $19.51 (the "conversion price"). A holder that converts will also receive any dividend shares resulting from accrued dividends. Our convertible preferred stock may also be automatically converted to shares of our common stock. If the closing price of our common stock exceeds $27.32 per share (i) for each day of the 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding April 1, 2023 or (ii) following April 1, 2023 until 30 trading days prior to November 30, 2024, for each day of any 30 consecutive trading days, then each outstanding share of preferred stock will automatically convert into a number of shares of our common stock at a rate per share of preferred stock equal to the issue price divided by the conversion price. Upon an automatic conversion, a holder will also receive any dividend shares resulting from accrued dividends. Redemption—On November 30, 2024, we will be required to redeem any outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock, and each holder may elect to receive cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares. If a holder elects to receive cash, we will pay, for each share of preferred stock, an amount equal to the issue price plus any accrued dividends. If a holder elects to receive shares, we will issue, for each share of preferred stock, a number of shares of common stock at a rate of the issue price divided by the conversion price plus any dividend shares resulting from accrued dividends. 75 Index to Notes A holder of our convertible preferred stock has the right to require us to redeem up to all shares of preferred stock it holds following certain events outlined in the document governing the preferred stock. If a holder redeems as the result of such events, such holder may elect to receive cash or shares of common stock, as calculated in the same manner as the mandatory redemption described above. Additionally, such holder will also receive, in cash or shares of common stock as elected by the holder, an amount equal to all scheduled dividend payments on the preferred stock for all remaining dividend periods from the date the holder gives its notice of redemption. Liquidation Rights—Upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, holders of our convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive cash out of our assets prior to holders of the common stock. Note 12: Equity and Equity Compensation Plans Common Stock—As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorized us to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. Preferred Stock—As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorized us to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Incentive Plan —We granted stock options under our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended ("2004 Plan"), until July 26, 2017, when we terminated it in connection with our IPO. Accordingly, no shares are available for future issuance under our 2004 Plan. Our 2004 Plan continues to govern outstanding equity awards granted thereunder, all of which are fully vested. The term of each stock option under the plan is no more than 10 years, and each stock option generally vests over a four-year period. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan—Our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan ("2017 EIP") became effective on July 26, 2017 and provides for issuance of incentive and nonqualified common stock options and restricted stock units to employees, directors, officers, and consultants. The number of shares of common stock initially reserved for issuance under our 2017 EIP was 7,898,159. The number of shares reserved for issuance under our 2017 EIP will increase automatically on January 1 of each calendar year beginning on January 1, 2018, and continuing through January 1, 2028, by the number of shares equal to the lesser of 5% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock as of the immediately preceding December 31 or an amount determined by our board of directors. The term of each stock option and restricted stock unit under the plan will not exceed 10 years, and each award generally vests between two and four years. We have reserved shares of common stock for future issuance under our 2017 EIP as follows: Stock options issued and outstanding Restricted stock units outstanding Shares available for future equity grants Total shares reserved for future issuance December 31, 2022 2021 3,282,789 15,731,632 7,951,616 26,966,037 4,019,011 4,617,425 15,205,854 23,842,290 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan—Our 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") was approved by the board of directors on July 27, 2017, and enables eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount. Purchases will be accomplished through participation in discrete offering periods. We initially reserved 1,600,000 shares of common stock for issuance under our ESPP. The number of shares reserved for issuance under our ESPP will increase automatically on January 1 of each calendar year beginning after the first offering date and continuing through January 1, 2028, by the number of shares equal to the lesser of 1% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock as of the immediately preceding December 31 or an amount determined by our board of directors. On each purchase date, eligible employees will purchase our common stock at a price per share equal to 85% of the lesser of (i) the fair market value of our common stock on the first trading day of the offering period, and (ii) the fair market value of our common stock on the purchase date. 76 Index to Notes We have reserved shares of common stock for future issuance under our ESPP as follows: Shares available for issuance at beginning of period Shares issued during the period Total shares available for issuance at end of period December 31, 2022 2021 5,865,467 (1,170,106) 4,695,361 4,039,667 (334,248) 3,705,419 The weighted-average grant date fair value and the assumptions used in calculating fair values of shares forecasted to be issued pursuant to our ESPP are as follows: Expected life Volatility Risk-free interest rate Dividend yield Weighted-average grant date fair value For the Offering Period beginning July 1, 2022 0.5 years 95.48% 2.52% —% $3.35 For the Offering Period beginning January 1, 2022 0.5 years 53.94% 0.22% —% $11.52 Stock Options—Option activity for the year ended December 31, 2022 was as follows: Outstanding at January 1, 2022 (1) PSOs earned Options exercised Options expired Outstanding at December 31, 2022 Options exercisable at December 31, 2022 Number Of Options Weighted-Average Exercise Price 4,019,011 $ 150,000 (700,333) (185,889) 3,282,789 $ 3,282,789 $ 8.02 27.50 6.94 8.89 9.10 9.10 Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life (years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value 3.73 $ 122,038 2.90 $ 2.90 $ 1,145 1,145 (1) We granted stock options subject to performance conditions (“PSOs”) to our chief executive officer in 2019. We previously reported the target achievement level of these PSOs - options. During the first quarter of 2022, our board of directors determined that our chief executive officer earned his PSOs at the maximum achievement level. Accordingly, we are reporting an additional 150,000 PSOs as being earned during the first quarter of 2022. 150,000 PSOs - within our outstanding stock The grant date fair value of our stock options was recorded as stock-based compensation over the stock options' vesting period. All outstanding options were fully vested as of December 31, 2022. We did not recognize any option-related expense during the year ended December 31, 2022. With respect to our PSOs, we had previously expensed the PSOs based on their maximum achievement level. During the first quarter of 2022, our board of directors certified our maximum achievement of the PSOs. The fair value of stock options vested and the intrinsic value of stock options exercised are as follows: Fair value of options vested Intrinsic value of options exercised 2022 $ Year Ended December 31, 2021 484 $ 5,588 793 $ 90,920 2020 2,228 55,822 77 Index to Notes Restricted Stock Units—Restricted stock unit activity for the year ended December 31, 2022 was as follows: Outstanding at January 1, 2022 Granted Vested Forfeited or canceled Outstanding or deferred at December 31, 2022 (1) Restricted Stock Units Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value 4,617,425 $ 16,408,296 (1,972,441) (3,321,648) 15,731,632 $ 37.13 8.54 30.43 21.13 11.53 (1) Starting with the restricted stock units granted to them in June 2019, our non-employee directors have the option to defer the issuance of common stock receivable upon vesting of such restricted stock units until 60 days following the day they are no longer providing services to us or, if earlier, upon a change in control transaction. The amount reported as vested excludes restricted stock units that have vested but whose settlement into shares have been deferred. The amount reported as outstanding or deferred as of December 31, 2022 includes these restricted stock units. As no further conditions exist to prevent the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying these restricted stock units, the shares are included in the basic and diluted weighted shares outstanding used to calculate net loss per share attributable to common stock. The amount of shares whose issuance have been deferred is not considered material and is not reported separately from stock-based compensation in our consolidated statements of changes in mezzanine equity and stockholders’ equity. The grant date fair value of restricted stock units is recorded as stock-based compensation over the vesting period. As of December 31, 2022, there was $147,928 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation related to restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.65 years. As of December 31, 2022, there were 1,593,465 restricted stock units subject to performance and market conditions ("PSUs") outstanding at 100% of the target level. Depending on our achievement of the performance and market conditions, the actual number of shares of common stock issuable upon vesting of PSUs will range from 0% to 200% of the target amount. For each PSU recipient, the awards will vest only if the recipient is continuing to provide service to us upon our board of directors, or its compensation committee, certifying that we have achieved the PSUs' related performance or market conditions. Stock-based compensation expense for PSUs with performance conditions will be recognized when it is probable that the performance conditions will be achieved. For PSUs with market conditions, the market condition is reflected in the grant date fair value of the award and the expense is recognized over the life of the award. Stock-compensation expense associated with the PSUs is as follows: Expense associated with the current period Expense due to reassessment of achievement related to prior periods Total expense 2022 Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 $ $ 5,341 $ (267) 5,074 $ 6,314 $ — 6,314 $ 2,664 190 2,854 Compensation Cost—The following table details, for each period indicated, (i) our stock-based compensation net of forfeitures, and the amount capitalized in internally developed software and (ii) includes changes to the probability of achieving outstanding performance-based equity awards, each as included in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss: Cost of revenue Technology and development Marketing General and administrative (1) Total stock-based compensation 2022 Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 $ $ 15,950 $ 29,608 4,093 18,606 68,257 $ 13,614 $ 23,275 2,350 15,483 54,722 $ 8,844 16,564 1,569 9,996 36,973 (1) Net of $ 3,660, $ 4,059 and $ 2,348 of stock-based compensation expense capitalized for internally developed software for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Note 13: Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stock Net loss per share attributable to common stock is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. We have outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, options to purchase shares under our ESPP, convertible preferred stock, and convertible senior notes, which are considered in the calculation of diluted net income per share whenever doing so would be dilutive. 78 Index to Notes We calculate basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stock in conformity with the two-class method required for companies with participating securities. We consider our convertible preferred stock to be a participating security. Under the two-class method, net loss attributable to common stock is not allocated to the preferred stock as its holders do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses, as discussed in Note 11. The calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stock was as follows: Numerator: Net loss Dividends on convertible preferred stock Net loss attributable to common stock—basic and diluted Denominator: Weighted-average shares—basic and diluted (1) Net loss per share attributable to common stock—basic and diluted 2022 Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 (321,143) $ (1,560) (322,703) $ (109,613) $ (7,269) (116,882) $ (18,527) (4,454) (22,981) 107,927,464 104,683,460 (2.99) $ (1.12) $ 98,574,529 (0.23) $ $ $ (1) Basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding include (i) common stock earned but not yet issued related to share-based dividends on our convertible preferred stock, and (ii) restricted stock units whose settlement into common stock were deferred at the option of certain non-employee directors. The following outstanding shares of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share attributable to common stock for the periods presented because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. 2023 notes as if converted 2025 notes as if converted 2027 notes as if converted Convertible preferred stock as if converted Stock options outstanding Restricted stock units outstanding (1)(2) (1) Total 2022 Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 769,623 7,154,297 6,147,900 2,040,000 3,282,789 15,710,223 35,104,832 769,623 9,119,960 6,147,900 2,040,000 4,019,011 4,589,696 26,686,190 838,821 9,119,960 — 2,040,000 5,733,738 4,443,315 22,175,834 (1) Excludes 1,593,465 incremental PSUs that could vest, assuming applicable performance criteria and market conditions are achieved at 200% of target, which is the maximum achievement level.

The following table represents the significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities for the periods presented: Deferred income tax assets Net operating loss carryforwards Business interest limitation carryforwards Tax credit carryforwards Lease liabilities Capitalized research and development costs Other Gross deferred income tax assets Valuation allowance Total deferred income tax assets, net of valuation allowance Deferred income tax liabilities Intangible assets Right-of-use assets Other Total deferred income tax liabilities Net deferred income tax assets and liabilities December 31, 2022 2021 $ 164,242 $ 34,445 23,240 15,019 32,216 30,719 299,881 (245,212) 54,669 (40,069) (11,225) (3,618) (54,912) $ (243) $ 143,917 35,234 18,828 17,396 — 23,152 238,527 (176,872) 61,655 (48,250) (13,465) (1,141) (62,856) (1,201) In determining the realizability of the net U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, we consider numerous factors including historical profitability, estimated future taxable income, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, and the industry in which we operate. Management reassesses the realization of the deferred tax assets each reporting period, which resulted in a valuation allowance against the full amount of our U.S. deferred tax assets for all periods presented. To the extent that the financial results of our U.S. operations improve in the future and the deferred tax assets become realizable, we will reduce the valuation allowance through earnings. The following table represents our net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards as of December 31, 2022 and 2021: Federal Various states Foreign December 31, 2022 2021 $ 651,498 $ 34,718 5,255 611,296 18,777 3,213 Federal NOL carryforwards are available to offset federal taxable income with NOL carryforwards of $ 413,145 generated after 2017 available to offset future U.S. federal taxable income over an indefinite period, and the remainder expiring between 2023 and 2037. State NOL carryforwards are available to offset future taxable income and begin to expire in 2023. NOL carryforward periods for the various states jurisdictions generally range from 5 to 20 years. Foreign NOL carryforward periods for foreign federal and provincial jurisdictions are generally 20 years and will begin to expire in 2039. Net research and development credit carryforwards of $ 23,240 and $18,828 are available as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, to reduce future tax liabilities. The research and development credit carryforwards begin to expire in 2026. Deductible but limited federal business interest expense carryforwards of $ 145,296 and $149,710 are available as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, to offset future U.S. federal taxable over an indefinite period. 80 Index to Notes Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, substantial changes in our ownership may limit the amount of NOL and income tax credit carryforwards that could be utilized annually in the future to offset taxable income and income tax liabilities. Any such annual limitation may significantly reduce the utilization of the NOLs and income tax credits before they expire. A Section 382 limitation study performed as of March 31, 2017 determined that we experienced an ownership change in 2006 with $1,506 of the 2006 NOL, and $ 32 of the 2006 research and development tax credit unavailable for future use. Furthermore, in connection with the acquisition of Rent., Rent. experienced an ownership change that triggered Section 382. As of September 30, 2021, Rent. completed a Section 382 limitation study and, based on this analysis, we do not expect a reduction in our ability to fully utilize Rent.’s pre-change NOLs. The components of loss before benefit for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 were $( 318,216), $(114,262), and $(17,582), for federal purposes, respectively, and $( 2,801), $(1,458), and $( 945), for foreign purposes, respectively. The following table is a reconciliation of the U.S. federal income tax at statutory rate to our effective income tax rate: U.S. federal income tax at statutory rate State taxes (net of federal benefit) Stock-based compensation Permanent differences Federal research and development credit Change in valuation allowance Other Acquisition costs Extinguishment of convertible notes Expiration of tax attribute carryforwards Effective income tax rate 2022 December 31, 2021 2020 21.00 % 4.89 (2.53) (0.14) 1.38 (21.29) 0.20 (0.01) — (3.53) (0.03)% 21.00 % 9.06 14.88 (0.12) 5.41 (41.89) (1.62) (1.44) — — 5.28 % 21.00 % 25.23 69.14 (1.03) 20.42 (132.88) 1.32 — (3.20) — — % We recorded an income tax expense of $126 for the year ended December 31, 2022, which in part consists of current state income tax expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our current state income tax expense was partially offset with a deferred income tax benefit generated by the reduction to a deferred tax liability created through our April 2, 2021 acquisition of Rent.. We recorded an income tax benefit of $6,107 for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is primarily a result of a deferred tax liability created through our April 2, 2021 acquisition of Rent. and can be used to realize certain deferred tax assets against which we had previously recorded a full valuation allowance. Our deferred income tax benefit was partially offset by current state income tax expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 2021. We did not record any tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2020. The difference between the U.S. federal income tax at statutory rate of 21% for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, and our effective tax rate in all periods is primarily due to a full valuation allowance related to our U.S. deferred tax assets and the impact of U.S. states where we incur current income tax expense. The following table summarizes the components of our income tax benefit for the periods presented: Current income tax expense: U.S. - State Total current income tax expense Deferred income tax benefit: U.S. - Federal U.S. - State Total deferred income tax benefit Total income tax benefit 2022 December 31, 2021 2020 $ $ 1,084 $ 1,084 97 (1,055) (958) 126 $ 1,215 $ 1,215 — (7,322) (7,322) (6,107) $ — — — — — — 81 Index to Notes We account for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. Tax positions are evaluated utilizing a two-step process, whereby we first determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authority, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on technical merit. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The following table summarizes the activity related to unrecognized tax benefits: Unrecognized benefit—beginning of year Gross (decreases) increases—prior year tax positions Gross increases—current year tax positions Unrecognized benefit—end of year 2022 December 31, 2021 2020 $ $ 4,692 $ (210) 1,327 5,809 $ 3,105 $ 32 1,555 4,692 $ 2,159 — 946 3,105 All of the unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 are accounted for as a reduction in our deferred tax assets. Due to our valuation allowance, none of the $5,809 and $4,692 of unrecognized tax benefits would affect our effective tax rate, if recognized. We do not believe it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There was no interest or penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits for each year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and no liability for accrued interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022. Our material income tax jurisdictions are the United States (federal) and Canada (foreign). As a result of NOL carryforwards, we are subject to audit for all tax years for federal and foreign purposes. All tax years remain subject to examination in various other jurisdictions that are not material to our consolidated financial statements. Note 15: Debt Warehouse Credit Facilities —To provide capital for the mortgage loans that it originates, our mortgage segment utilizes warehouse credit facilities that are classified as current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Borrowings under each warehouse credit facility are secured by the related mortgage loan, and rights and income related to the loans. The following table summarizes borrowings under these facilities as of the periods presented: Lender Western Alliance Bank Texas Capital Bank, N.A. Flagstar Bank, FSB City National Bank Comerica Bank Origin Bank M&T Bank Prosperity Bank Republic Bank & Trust Company Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

("Goldman Sachs"). Borrowings under the facility were secured by RedfinNow Borrower's assets, including the financed homes, as well as the equity interests in RedfinNow Borrower. The following table summarizes borrowings under this facility as of the period presented: Lender Borrowing Capacity Outstanding Borrowings Weighted-Average Interest Rate on Outstanding Borrowings Borrowing Capacity December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Outstanding Borrowings Weighted-Average Interest Rate on Outstanding Borrowings Goldman Sachs Bank USA $ — $ — — % $ 200,000 $ 199,781 3.30 % We terminated the facility on December 29, 2022 after repaying all borrowings and accrued interest. Prior to this termination, Goldman Sachs was permitted to, at its sole option, finance a portion of RedfinNow Borrower's acquisition costs of qualified homes that had been purchased. The portion financed was based, in part, on how long the qualifying home had been owned by a Redfin entity. Beginning on January 1, 2022, all outstanding borrowings generally bore interest at a rate equal to (i) the USD-SOFR-Compound rate plus (ii) 11.448 basis points (subject to a floor of 0.30%) plus (iii) 3.00%. Outstanding borrowings before January 1, 2022 generally bore interest at a rate of one-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.30%) plus 3.00%. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, RedfinNow Borrower had $ 214,707 and $567,128 of total assets, respectively, of which $ 113,684 and $337,630 related to inventory, and $98,781 and $101,064 in cash and cash equivalents, respectively. The following table summarizes the debt issuance costs amortized and interest expense recognized in relation to our RedfinNow Borrower facility: Debt issuance costs Interest expense 2022 $ Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 996 $ 7,863 324 $ 3,946 619 643 Convertible Senior Notes—We have issued convertible senior notes with the following characteristics: Issuance Maturity Date Stated Cash Interest Rate Effective Interest Rate First Interest Payment Date Semi-Annual Interest Payment Dates Conversion Rate 2023 notes 2025 notes 2027 notes July 15, 2023 October 15, 2025 April 1, 2027 1.75 % — % 0.50 % 2.45 % January 15, 2019 January 15; July 15 0.42 % — — 0.90 % October 1, 2021 April 1; October 1 32.7332 13.7920 10.6920 We issued our 2023 notes on July 23, 2018, with an aggregate principal amount of $ 143,750. Subsequent to the issuance date, we repurchased or settled conversions of an aggregate of $120,238 of our 2023 notes. On July 20, 2021, our 2023 notes became redeemable by us, but we did not exercise our redemption right during the three months ended December 31, 2022. We issued our 2025 notes on October 20, 2020, with an aggregate principal amount of $ 661,250. In the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we repurchased and retired approximately $142,522 in aggregate principal amount of our 2025 notes at a price of $ 83,614 using available cash. In connection with these repurchases, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $57,193 in the year ended December 31, 2022. We issued our 2027 notes on March 25, 2021 and April 5, 2021, with an aggregate principal amount of $ 575,000. 83 Index to Notes The components of the convertible senior notes are as follows: Issuance Aggregate Principal Amount Unamortized Debt Discount Unamortized Debt Issuance Costs Net Carrying Amount December 31, 2022 $ 23,512 $ 518,728 575,000 — $ — — December 31, 2021 81 $ 6,045 9,526 23,431 512,683 565,474 Issuance Aggregate Principal Amount Unamortized Debt Discount Unamortized Debt Issuance Costs Net Carrying Amount $ 23,512 $ 661,250 575,000 $ — — — 232 $ 10,467 11,766 23,280 650,783 563,234 2023 notes 2025 notes 2027 notes 2023 notes 2025 notes 2027 notes 2023 notes Contractual interest expense Amortization of debt discount Amortization of debt issuance costs Total interest expense 2025 notes Contractual interest expense Amortization of debt discount Amortization of debt issuance costs Total interest expense 2027 notes Contractual interest expense Amortization of debt discount Amortization of debt issuance costs Total interest expense Total Contractual interest expense Amortization of debt discount Amortization of debt issuance costs Total interest expense Year End December 31, 2022 2021 2020 411 $ — 150 561 $ — — 2,706 2,706 $ 2,875 — 2,240 413 $ — 189 602 $ — — 2,760 2,760 $ 2,187 — 1,705 5,115 $ 3,892 $ 3,286 — 5,096 2,600 — 4,654 8,382 $ 7,254 $ 2,113 4,735 623 7,471 — 5,693 346 6,039 — — — — 2,113 10,428 969 13,510 $ $ $ $ $ 84 Index to Notes Conversion of Our Convertible Senior Notes Prior to the free conversion date, a holder of each tranche of our convertible senior notes may convert its notes in multiples of $1,000 principal amount only if one or more of the conditions described below is satisfied. On or after the free conversion date, a holder may convert its notes in such multiples without any conditions. The free conversion date is April 15, 2023 for our 2023 notes, July 15, 2025 for our 2025 notes, and January 1, 2027 for our 2027 notes. The conditions are: • • • • during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day; during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the applicable notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such trading day; if we call any or all of the applicable notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day prior to the redemption date; or upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. We intend to settle any future conversions of our convertible senior notes by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. We apply the if-converted method to calculate diluted earnings per share when applicable. Under the if-converted method, the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation is adjusted to reflect the full number of common shares issuable upon conversion, while the numerator is adjusted to add back interest expense for the period. Classification of Our Convertible Senior Notes Historically, we had separated our 2023 notes and our 2025 notes into liability and equity components. With our adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021, using the modified retrospective approach, this accounting treatment is no longer applicable. All of our convertible senior notes are now accounted for wholly as liabilities. The difference between the principal amount of the notes and the net carrying amount represents the unamortized debt discount, which we record as a deduction from the debt liability in our consolidated balance sheets. This discount is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the notes. See Note 4 for fair value information related to our convertible senior notes. 2027 Capped Calls—In connection with the pricing of our 2027 notes, we entered into capped call transactions with certain counterparties (the “2027 capped calls”). The 2027 capped calls have initial strike prices of $93.53 per share and initial cap prices of $ 138.56 per share, in each case subject to certain adjustments. Conditions that cause adjustments to the initial strike price and initial cap price of the 2027 capped calls are similar to the conditions that result in corresponding adjustments to the conversion rate for our 2027 notes. The 2027 capped calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, 6,147,900 shares of our common stock and are generally intended to reduce or offset the potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the 2027 notes, with such reduction or offset, as the case may be, subject to a cap based on the cap price. The 2027 capped calls are separate transactions, and not part of the terms of our 2027 notes. As these instruments meet certain accounting criteria, the 2027 capped calls are recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The cost of $62,647 incurred in connection with the 2027 capped calls was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on our consolidated balance sheets. 85 Table of Contents Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level described below. Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, management concluded that Redfin Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting, and this attestation report appears in Item 8. As permitted by SEC guidance, our management has excluded from its evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting the internal control over financial reporting of Bay Equity, which we acquired on April 1, 2022. Bay Equity constituted 29.6% of our total assets (after excluding goodwill and intangible assets which were integrated with our systems and control environment), 5.7% of our revenues, and 5.4% of our net loss, of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. Changes in Internal Control Over Financing Reporting In connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Item 9B.
