Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 16, 2018, Redfin Corporation filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 in connection with its proposed public offerings of common stock and convertible senior notes. The prospectus for each offering contains estimated preliminary financial results and other key business metrics for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and with respect to certain other key business metrics, for the two months ended May 31, 2018. These estimated preliminary financial results and key business metrics are provided below.

The ranges presented below are based on the information available to us at this time. We have provided ranges, rather than specific amounts, because these results are preliminary. As such, our actual results may vary from the estimated preliminary results presented here and will not be finalized until after the filing of this report. We have not identified any unusual or unique events or trends that occurred during the period that we believe will materially affect these estimates.

This data has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, Redfin's management. Our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the preliminary financial results. Accordingly, Deloitte & Touche LLP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.
