Exhibit 99.1 Offerpad Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results; Fee-Based Channels Reach 35% of Closings TEMPE, Ariz. – November 2, 2026 – Offerpad Solutions Inc. (the “Company” or “Offerpad”) (Nasdaq: OPAD), a leading tech-enabled real estate solutions company, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026. Total real estate transactions increased for the second consecutive quarter, from 263 in Q1 to 295 in Q2 and 324 in Q3. Brokerage Services and Cash Offer Marketplace represented approximately 35% of Q3 closed transactions, and Brokerage listing signings more than doubled quarter over quarter. For the third quarter, the Company reported revenue of $78.1 million. Total closed real estate transactions were 324, excluding Renovate. Net loss was $11.5 million, and Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $7.5 million. Gross profit was $6.5 million, with gross margin of 8.3%. Contribution profit after interest per real estate transaction was approximately $12,900, near Q2 levels and about double the prior-year quarter. Offerpad acquired 605 homes in Q3. Purchases were concentrated in markets where homes were still selling at a pace that met the Company’s requirements, and aged homes represented 2.6% of inventory at quarter-end, below the Company’s 10% threshold. That inventory is expected to provide a pipeline of dispositions through the rest of 2026 and into early 2027. “Mortgage rates rose more than 70 basis points from mid-August to early October, putting additional pressure on housing affordability and slowing buyer demand,” said Brian Bair, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Offerpad. “As homes took longer to sell, we adjusted our acquisition criteria to require higher expected returns and became more selective about new purchases, while serving more sellers through Cash Offer Marketplace and Brokerage Services. Having multiple ways to serve homeowners gives us flexibility to keep growing transactions while maintaining capital discipline.” Offerpad ended the third quarter with $12.1 million in unrestricted cash and an estimated $55 million of equity in inventory. As homes sell, proceeds first repay the associated inventory financing, with the remaining capital returning to the business to support liquidity, operations and future purchases. “Our focus is converting inventory into cash and continuing to optimize our cost base,” said Andrew Pieper, Interim Chief Financial Officer. “Together, we expect those actions to continue to support liquidity and lower the transaction volume required to reach Adjusted EBITDA breakeven.” Looking Ahead Offerpad now expects to achieve a positive Adjusted EBITDA run rate as it exits Q2 2027, compared with its previous expectation of exiting 2026 at that level. The updated timeline reflects the expected sale of inventory acquired in Q3, the contribution from higher-return purchases as those homes sell, and the phased impact of cost savings. For Q4 2026, Offerpad expects 400 to 475 closed real estate transactions and revenue of $100 million to $120 million, with a sequential improvement in Adjusted EBITDA. The outlook assumes mortgage rates remain near current levels and does not assume rate relief. Additional information, including quarterly financial materials, is available at investor.offerpad.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to Offerpad’s results of operations above, Offerpad reports certain financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measures have limitations as analytical tools when assessing Offerpad’s operating performance and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures, including gross profit and net income. Offerpad may calculate or present its non-GAAP financial measures differently than other companies that report measures with similar titles and, as a result, the non-GAAP financial measures Offerpad reports may not be comparable with those of companies in Offerpad’s industry or in other industries. Offerpad has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted Adjusted EBITDA to forecasted net income (loss) within this press release because Offerpad is unable to calculate certain reconciling items without making unreasonable efforts. These items, which include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation with respect to future grants and forfeitures, could materially affect the computation of forward-looking net income (loss), are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, some of which are outside of Offerpad’s control. Adjusted Gross Profit, Contribution Profit, and Contribution Profit After Interest (and related margins) To provide investors with additional information regarding Offerpad’s margins, Offerpad has included Adjusted Gross Profit, Contribution Profit, and Contribution Profit After Interest (and related margins), which are non-GAAP financial measures. Offerpad believes that Adjusted Gross Profit, Contribution Profit, and Contribution Profit After Interest are useful financial measures for investors as they are used by management in evaluating unit-level economics and operating performance across Offerpad’s markets. Each of these measures is intended to present the economics related to the number of homes sold or other real estate transactions during a given period. Offerpad does so by including revenue generated from its Cash Offer, Cash Offer Marketplace, and Brokerage Services solutions in the period and only the expenses that are directly attributable to these transactions, even if such expenses were recognized in prior periods, and excluding expenses related to homes that remain in real estate inventory as of the end of the period presented. Contribution Profit provides investors a measure to assess Offerpad’s ability to generate returns during a reporting period after considering home acquisition costs, renovation and repair costs, and adjusting for holding costs and selling costs. Contribution Profit After Interest further impacts gross profit by including interest costs (including senior and mezzanine secured credit facilities and other senior secured debt) attributable to homes sold during a reporting period. Offerpad believes these measures facilitate meaningful period over period comparisons and illustrate Offerpad’s ability to generate returns on its homes sold and other real estate transactions after considering the costs directly related to such transactions in a presented period. Adjusted Gross Profit, Contribution Profit and Contribution Profit After Interest (and related margins) are supplemental measures of Offerpad’s operating performance and have limitations as analytical tools. For example, these measures include costs that were recorded in prior periods under GAAP and exclude, in connection with homes held in real estate inventory at the end of the period, costs required to be recorded under GAAP in the same period. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Offerpad’s results as reported under GAAP. Offerpad includes a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, which is gross profit. Adjusted Gross Profit / Margin Offerpad calculates Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit under GAAP adjusted for (1) net real estate inventory valuation adjustment plus (2) interest expense associated with homes sold in the presented period and recorded in cost of revenue. Net real estate inventory valuation adjustment is calculated by adding back the real estate inventory valuation adjustment charges recorded during the period on homes that remain in real estate inventory at period end and subtracting the real estate inventory valuation adjustment charges recorded in prior periods on homes sold in the current period. Offerpad defines Adjusted Gross Margin as Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue. Offerpad views this metric as an important measure of business performance, as it captures gross margin performance isolated to real estate transactions in a given period and provides comparability across reporting periods. Adjusted Gross Profit helps management assess performance across the key phases of processing a home (acquisitions, renovations, and resale) for a specific resale cohort. Contribution Profit / Margin Offerpad calculates Contribution Profit as Adjusted Gross Profit, minus (1) direct selling costs incurred on homes sold during the presented period, minus (2) holding costs incurred in the current period on homes sold during the period recorded in sales, marketing and operating, minus (3) holding costs incurred in prior periods on homes sold in the current period recorded in sales, marketing and operating, plus (4) other income, net, which is primarily composed of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents. The composition of Offerpad’s holding costs is described in the footnotes to the reconciliation table below. Offerpad defines Contribution Margin as Contribution Profit as a percentage of revenue.

Offerpad views this metric as an important measure of business performance as it captures the unit-level performance isolated to real estate transactions in a given period and provides comparability across reporting periods. Contribution Profit helps management assess inflows and outflows directly associated with a specific resale cohort. Contribution Profit / Margin After Interest Offerpad defines Contribution Profit After Interest as Contribution Profit, minus (1) interest expense associated with homes sold in the presented period and recorded in cost of revenue, minus (2) interest expense associated with homes sold in the presented period, recorded in cost of sales, and previously excluded from Adjusted Gross Profit, and minus (3) interest expense under Offerpad’s senior and mezzanine secured credit facilities and other senior secured debt incurred on homes sold during the period. This includes interest expense recorded in prior periods in which the sale occurred. Offerpad’s senior and mezzanine secured credit facilities and other senior secured debt are secured by its homes in real estate inventory and drawdowns are made on a per-home basis at the time of purchase and are required to be repaid at the time the homes are sold. Offerpad defines Contribution Margin After Interest as Contribution Profit After Interest as a percentage of revenue. Offerpad views this metric as an important measure of business performance. Contribution Profit After Interest helps management assess Contribution Margin performance, per above, when fully burdened with costs of financing. The following table presents a reconciliation of Offerpad’s Adjusted Gross Profit, Contribution Profit and Contribution Profit After Interest to Offerpad’s Gross Profit, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended (in thousands, except percentages, homes sold, and real estate transactions, unaudited) September 30, 2026 June 30, 2026 September 30, 2025 Gross profit (GAAP) $ 6,496 $ 7,117 $ 9,336 Gross margin 8.3% 9.2% 7.0% Homes sold 210 206 367 Gross profit per home sold $ 30.9 $ 34.5 $ 25.4 Total real estate transactions 324 295 474 Gross profit per real estate transaction $ 20.0 $ 24.1 $ 19.7 Adjustments: Real estate inventory valuation adjustment - current period 285 247 2,005 Real estate inventory valuation adjustment - prior period (313) (529) (1,056) Interest expense capitalized 479 501 951 Adjusted gross profit $ 6,947 $ 7,336 $ 11,236 Adjusted gross margin 8.9% 9.4% 8.5% Adjustments: Direct selling costs (5) (1,723) (1,809) (3,471) Holding costs on sales - current period (195) (210) (436) Holding costs on sales - prior period (109) (246) (435) Other income, net 71 231 151 Contribution profit $ 4,991 $ 5,302 $ 7,045 Contribution margin 6.4% 6.8% 5.3% Homes sold 210 206 367 Contribution profit per home sold $ 23.8 $ 25.7 $ 19.2 Total real estate transactions 324 295 474 Contribution profit per real estate transaction $ 15.4 $ 18.0 $ 14.9 Adjustments: Interest expense capitalized (479) (501) (951) Interest expense on homes sold - current period (91) (234) (1,252) Interest expense on homes sold - prior period (254) (570) (1,823) Contribution profit after interest $ 4,167 $ 3,997 $ 3,019 Contribution margin after interest 5.3% 5.1% 2.3% Homes sold 210 206 367 Contribution profit after interest per home sold $ 19.8 $ 19.4 $ 8.2 Total real estate transactions 324 295 474 Contribution profit after interest per real estate transaction $ 12.9 $ 13.5 $ 6.4 (1) Total real estate transactions represents the total number of closed real estate transactions including Cash Offer homes sold, Cash Offer Marketplace transactions, and listings closed under our Brokerage Services solutions. (2) Real estate inventory valuation adjustment – current period represents the real estate inventory valuation adjustments recorded during the period presented associated with homes that remain in real estate inventory at period end.

(4) Interest expense capitalized represents all interest related costs under our senior and mezzanine secured credit facilities and other senior secured debt, incurred on homes sold in the period presented that were capitalized and expensed in cost of sales at the time of sale. (5) Direct selling costs represent selling costs incurred related to homes sold in the period presented. This primarily includes broker commissions and title and escrow closing fees. (6) Holding costs primarily include insurance, utilities, homeowners association dues, property taxes, cleaning, and maintenance costs. (7) Represents holding costs incurred on homes sold in the period presented and expensed to Sales, marketing and operating on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(11)Represents interest expense under our senior and mezzanine secured credit facilities and other senior secured debt incurred in prior periods on homes sold in the period presented and expensed to interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA Offerpad also presents Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, which the management team uses to assess Offerpad’s underlying financial performance. Offerpad believes these measures provide insight into period over period performance, adjusted for non-recurring or non-cash items. Offerpad calculates Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as GAAP Net Income (Loss) adjusted for the change in fair value and expiration of warrant liabilities. Offerpad defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Margin as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as a percentage of revenue. Offerpad calculates Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) adjusted for interest expense, amortization of capitalized interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. Offerpad defines Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental to Offerpad’s operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and have important limitations. For example, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA exclude the impact of certain costs required to be recorded under GAAP and could differ substantially from similarly titled measures presented by other companies in Offerpad’s industry or companies in other industries. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Offerpad’s results as reported under GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of Offerpad’s Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to its GAAP Net Income (Loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended (in thousands, except percentages, unaudited) September 30, 2026 June 30, 2026 September 30, 2025 Net loss (GAAP) $ (11,452) $ (9,288) $ (11,604) Change in fair value and expiration of warrant liabilities (69) (123) 987 Adjusted net loss $ (11,521) $ (9,411) $ (10,617) Adjusted net loss margin (14.8%) (12.1%) (8.0%) Adjustments: Interest expense 2,227 1,387 3,646 Amortization of capitalized interest 479 501 951 Income tax expense 10 16 380 Depreciation 279 285 253 Stock-based compensation 986 1,012 815 Adjusted EBITDA $ (7,540) $ (6,210) $ (4,572) Adjusted EBITDA margin (9.7%) (8.0%) (3.4%) (1) Amortization of capitalized interest represents all interest related costs under our senior and mezzanine secured credit facilities and other senior secured debt, incurred on homes sold in the period presented that were capitalized and expensed in cost of sales at the time of sale.
