Zillow.com Brings A New Trend To Real Estate With User Interactive Website

Zillow is Coming!
2008-05-20 20:06:00 Zillow made a big splash when they first showed up a few years back. Mostly it grabbed people because it was so much fun to enter your neighbors' addresses and see what Zillow said their homes were worth. Mind you these days that exercise is mostly depressing! And, those "zestimates" were never very accurate. I told sellers then, and still believe, that you need to know what Zillow says about your house. Because there's a pretty good chance that potential buyers will know. And, an article in today's Realty Times emphasizes why Zillow is continuing to gain in importance. REALTOR.com has been the big boy on the block forever. But from a technological perspective it's been a long time since they had anything approaching a technological edge. And, while, theoretically, REALTOR.com exists to serve me as a member of the National Association of REALTORS (NAR), for most of us it feels like it exists to gouge us! While Zillow (and other sites) will a...

Irony Of Ironies: The Mechanical Turk Behind The ?Zestimate of Mortgages?

Zillow Mortgages is essentially a free open marketplace
2008-04-03 01:40:00 Zillow unveils its long awaited mortgage service today - it's essentially an online marketplace connecting the consumer with lender. And more important, it redefines lead generation from being a pay-for-play transaction to a free quote response system. Traditional lead generation models gather consumer data and sell them as leads - the consumer loses because their confidential personal data is distributed to persons unknown, and they become the recipients of unwanted phone calls. With Zillow, the consumer makes a request for quote, receives quotes from lenders registered and qualified with Zillow, and makes the decision to initiate contact. Here are a few more revolutionary features about the model: No lead generation fees. Zillow's stance is to leverage higher CPM advertising directed to individuals purchasing homes or loans.Mortgage brokers are rated by consumers after contact is made and after transaction completed. In order to attract consumer and receive good ratings, it b...

Comparing Zillow Home Estimates in South Lake Tahoe: Ouch!
2008-02-24 23:48:00 Better Use a Pro in South Lake Tahoe: Zillow’s estimates average more than 20% off… in both directions! We remember first hearing about Zillow a few years before it was launched. Back then Zillow existed on the web as a blank white page with one button in the center of it. Clicking on that button was for recruiting people to work for them while they were in their infancy. We had no thought at that time as to what Zillow might mean, or not to the South Lake Tahoe real estate market. (click "read the rest of this entry" below) Technorati Tags: South Lake Tahoe Real Estate, Stateline, NV, Real Estate Seminar, Zillow Zestimates Accuracy I remember the day Zillow launched rather clearly.

My Little Zillow Meltdown
2008-02-01 23:46:00 Since I actually met the Zillow folks at BloggersConnect last week, I’m almost tempted to take down the couple of rants I’ve done in a couple of blog posts, but as I learned, “Once on the Internet, always on the Internet”. Here in Washington, there are special challenges for any company trying to get an on-line home values database. Neighborhoods are architecturally diverse, so comparing a subject house to it’s “comps” isn’t even apples to oranges. It’s apples to monkeys! Even in a block of identical looking row houses, some are granny houses that were state-of-the-art in 1942, and others have ove-the-top restorations that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and made the place worth a fortune. So, this week, I have a new listing in Brookland. This is a neighborhood in Northeast Washington over near Catholic University. The housing stock is in varying condition, and the homes are all different - in terms of style, age, size...

Lead Capture: The Cardinal Sin

Zillow & Real Living Kiss & Make Up?
2008-01-17 06:39:00 Real Living had ads on Zillow.com on Day one... not property ads. Zillow did not have listings on their site when they first opened up shop. Zillow had Zestimates... an AVM...

Zillow improves math, 94% of O.C. now covered
2008-01-10 18:53:00 Online home-price tracker Zillow says it’s deepened its database and upgraded its valuation math (RELEASE HERE.) The company’’s “Zestimates” have drawn healthy criticism for frequent inaccuracies. A Zillow spokesperson tells me that Zillow’s Orange County data now has “94% of the homes with Zestimates, 37% are within 5% of the selling price, 62% are within 10% of the selling price, and 85% are within 20% of the selling price” By the way, Zillow puts typical Orange County home values down 6.5% in a year. Why not try Zillow out and report back what you find about the homes you know best and the Web site’s “new math” …
