Real Estate Agents and Their Cars

By: Diane Tuman Content Manager | January 18, 2008

There’s some fuzzy math happening in the real estate biz that I don’t quite get. Real estate agents don’t make a ton of money — not unless they’ve been in the biz for awhile, or they’re incredibly savvy in marketing themselves or they’re the Realtors to the stars or they’re just plain lucky. Six figure […]

7000+ Neighborhood Boundary Files in Shapefile Format

By: Drew Meyers Business Development Specialist | January 16, 2008

Amidst the crazy week of announcements last week, Zillow Labs quietly expanded. Our latest addition is a project our data analytics team worked on internally for quite some time. It’s not some cool little web application (though we do build those as well) like you might expect. It’s a bunch of, well, DATA. What sort […]

10 Tips on Investing in Real Estate

By: Diane Tuman Content Manager | January 16, 2008

Investing in real estate is one of those dreamy aspirations filled with images of extra money flowing from the tap and

finding the ideal renters to occupy your investment. The reality, of course, is that taxes, insurance, and repairs clip your positive cash flow and finding honest and trustworthy renters is like being a 40-year-old trying […]

What’s in a Number?

By: Stan Humphries VP, Data & Analytics | January 15, 2008

Explaining Changes to Zestimate History

By: David Gibbons Director of Community Relations | January 15, 2008

Last week’s launch of our new Zestimate algorithm involved the most significant update to Zestimate values since Zillow launched in beta in early 2006. We also updated more than 10 years of historical Zestimate values. The changes made to the Zestimate history have raised quite a few questions so I thought it could be […]

Carnival of Real Estate #73

By: Zillow Team Zillow.com | January 14, 2008

Denny Oh of SanDiegOh (clever!) is the author and host of the 73rd edition of the Carnival of Real Estate. Denny’s passion for the San Diego Chargers came through loud ‘n clear as he dedicated the Carnival to the Chargers as a result of their surprise win in over the Colts in Sunday’s AFC divisional […]

We’re listening

By: Jorrit Van der Meulen VP, Partner Relations | January 10, 2008

Since we launched the Zillow Listings Feeds program last November, we’ve heard our broker partners talk about the complexity (and cost) of managing multiple feed types for multiple partners. We listened. And so, we’re pleased to let you know that extending your listings online to multiple locations at once is about to get […]
