WHAT IS ZILLOW

Zillow is a website that provides free real estate appraisal services, but it is not a housing intermediary, but more like a professional appraisal company, providing professional "real estate appraisal services." Zillow's service is not only free, users do not need to install any software. After connecting to Zillow's website, you can zoom in on the satellite map directly on the webpage to find the target, or search by zip code and street. Zillow has obtained the qualification to use MLS (Multiple Listing System, a common transaction database for real estate intermediaries) in many regions of the United States, and then develops a set of "Zestimate" computer systems to estimate the current price of real estate according to the historical transaction prices in each MLS database. market price.

Since Zillow is a website that provides free real estate appraisal services, its customer base must be people related to real estate, such as buyers and sellers of houses, and people who are interested in real estate values. Home buyers use Zillow to compare home values ​​to find the right home at the most reasonable price and avoid overpaying. Home sellers take advantage of Zillow

Appraisals allow you to get an appraisal of your real estate so that you can sell your home for the highest and most suitable price. Real estate owners use Zillow appraisals to focus on the appreciation potential of their real estate and the value of their existing real estate.


In the traditional real estate intermediary industry, many people are unable to understand the actual value of the real estate they own, buy, or sell. Zillow's philosophy is to return power to the public, so that everyone can know their own real estate, or the real estate they want to buy. How much is it worth. Zillow's openness to information challenges the traditional intermediary industry. Although Zillow only plays the role of an information provider, it seems that it will not have too much impact on the current real estate industry. But "information" is actually the core value of the real estate industry. Brokers can get a lot of commission from customers who don't know the value of their real estate, but with companies like Zillow, traditional players have to rethink the extra value they can provide.

Zillow's new bird's-eye view image can view three-dimensional images of houses from four directions, east, west, north, south, so that users can more intuitively understand the situation around the house. GlobeXplorer is a provider of ZillowMAP data. I just feel that ZillowMAP and GOOGLE's MAP seem to be similar. But that's right, wouldn't the earth from the satellite be different? After all, there is only one earth, huh, huh.


Among all the real estate agency websites, some websites are only responsible for introducing customers to traditional operators, and Internet companies charge a certain percentage of commissions from the operators; some websites provide transaction rebates to attract buyers to use their services. In contrast, Zillow only focuses on appraising and does not provide information on real estate sales. Zillow does not intend to be an intermediary, only providing free lookup services. Like the general Internet companies, they hope to profit from advertising. Zillow will launch a pay per click (payperclick) advertising model. When customers use the Zestimate system, advertisements will appear on the webpage from time to time. If users click, Zillow will be able to charge advertising fees. Zillow avoids direct competition with intermediaries, and hopes that intermediaries will become its own advertisers, using Zillow as a marketing tool, and making housing intermediaries a source of profit for Zillow.

Due to Zillow's unique positioning and strategy, it has attracted great attention from all walks of life. At present, many industry players have expressed their willingness to advertise, and even websites similar in nature to Zillow are very interested. I believe that the publication of advertisements will definitely bring Zillow a considerable amount of income.

At present, there is no website in China's real estate network that provides free real estate appraisal services like Zillow. In the face of high housing prices in cities and severe housing market hype, people cannot buy houses at a reasonable price. Moreover, domestic housing appraisal agencies charge relatively high fees, and information is not circulated. Now the market can only see the transaction price of the house but not the evaluation price of the house. The average person does not understand the price evaluation of the house at all. Websites like Zillow solve this problem. If there are websites in China that provide free real estate valuation services, I think the real estate bubble will also decrease.
