Herman Jones LLP is Investigating Claims for Zillow Investors Who May Have Been Harmed by the Company’s Possible False or Misleading Statements Regarding Zillow Offers
A lawsuit, styled Jeremy Jaeger v. Zillow Group, et al. (Case No. 2:21-cv-01551), was filed in federal court in the Western District of Washington against Zillow for violations of the Securities Act of 1934 in relation to statements regarding its Zillow Offers business. According to the Plaintiff’s Corrected Consolidated Class Action Complaint (the “Complaint”), Zillow Group Inc. (“Zillow”) made several false and/or misleading statements to the market on two dates, August 5, 2021 and September 13, 2021. These allegedly false or misleading statements were with regard to: (i) Zillow’s reliance on and improvements to its algorithms in its iBuyer business, Zillow Offers, to determine asking prices for homes purchased through Zillow Offers; (ii) the durability of operational, unit economic and/or renovation process improvements; and (iii) statements attributing the inventory growth of Zillow Offers to consumer demand. According to the Complaint, corrective disclosures regarding the Zillow Offers business shocked market analysis and coincided with a decline in Zillow’s common and capital stock price.
Zillow filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint, alleging that it failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. On December 7, 2022, Judge Thomas Zilly denied the motion, except as to ¶192 of the Complaint, which the Court dismissed without prejudice and with leave to amend.
