Opendoor vs Offerpad: The 2026 Data
Opendoor and Offerpad are the two iBuyers left standing at national scale, and if your house qualifies for one it almost certainly qualifies for both. The right move is requesting both offers, but the data says they are not interchangeable. Here is the head to head, using the best published numbers available in 2026.

The Offer Data
A February 2026 Clever Real Estate analysis compared 409 Opendoor transactions and 123 Offerpad transactions closed between May 2023 and June 2025 against what each home later resold for. Opendoor offers averaged 8.79 percent below resale value. Offerpad averaged 13.89 percent below. On a $350,000 house, that average gap is roughly $17,000 in Opendoor’s favor. Individual houses vary, and Offerpad does win some of them, which is why you request both.
Fees
Both companies run service fees in the 5 percent range, with Opendoor now showing a variable service charge inside each offer rather than a flat published rate. Both add roughly 1 percent in closing costs and both deduct repair costs after inspection. Total all in costs commonly land between 8 and 13 percent once condition adjustments are counted.
Repair Deductions
This is where the two diverge most in reviews. Offerpad deducts the full cost of every repair and improvement it decides the house needs, and sellers describe its inspection numbers as the more aggressive of the two. In one reported Kansas City case, Offerpad cut $40,000 after inspection on a house where Opendoor cut $7,000. Opendoor draws the same complaint at lower volume.
Perks and Flexibility
Offerpad wins this category. It offers a free local move, commonly worth $2,500 to $3,500, and extended stay options after closing. Opendoor counters with a smoother digital process, broader market coverage, and generally stronger headline offers. Both let you pick your closing date inside a flexible window.
The Verdict
Start with Opendoor for the stronger average offer, but request both, they are free. Then pressure test the winner’s final number after inspection, because the preliminary offer is not the price. And if your house would not survive an iBuyer inspection at all, the real comparison is between local cash buyers, which we rank for Michigan on our best cash home buyers in Michigan page.
