Zillow CEO: 'More than half of homebuyers cry during the process.' AI can fix that

When Zillow launched 20 years ago, the home-buying process happened almost entirely offline. The company's digital listings, combined with its innovative "Zestimate"-an estimate of a home's value, based on the kind of data typically only available to real estate professionals-marked a turning point for the housing market. Zestimates weren't exact representations of value, but they put power back in the hands of prospective buyers (to sellers' and agents' chagrin). Their near-instant popularity was an early "do your research" internet moment.

The social media mindset driving real estate growth

Our top KW-affiliated agents tell me continually that real estate has always been a relationship business. What's changed is where those relationships are formed, nurtured and reinforced. Today, social media is one of the most powerful relationship platforms for building and sustaining relationships in real estate. But despite constant platform changes, algorithm updates and new tools, the agents and businesses seeing real growth aren't chasing shortcuts. They're building trust through each connection, which leads to scale.

Zillow and Redfin ordered to produce documents in $100M rental syndication antitrust case

Originally filed as two separate lawsuits in late September 2025 before being consolidated in late November, the lawsuit claims that the multifamily rental syndication deal executed by Zillow and Redfin was tantamount to Zillow simply paying Redfin $100 million in exchange for it no longer competing in the multifamily rental listing space. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit in mid-January. A hearing on this motion is scheduled for Feb. 25.
