With rising interest rates, there are growing concerns that the current housing market downturn may last through 2023, and a residential real estate brokerage is getting ahead of the curve by laying off 13% of its staff.
What happened: Shares of Redfin Corp (NASDAQ:RDFN) slipped 11.42% Wednesday after the company announced it would lay off 862 staff members, including 264 who belonged to the company’s home-flipping business, RedfinNow, which Redfin announced would dissolve in an SEC filing.
