Zillow

Mentioned in 51 analyzed podcast episodes across 10 shows

A major real estate technology platform that aggregates property data, valuations (through its Zestimate algorithm), and listing information to help users research homes and market conditions. The platform is widely referenced across real estate, business, and tech podcasts as both a tool for homebuyers and investors to assess property values and identify deals, and as a case study in data democratization and user-friendly interfaces. Podcasts discuss Zillow in contexts ranging from its controversial features and marketing practices to its strategic pivot toward becoming a housing "super app" and its broader impact on real estate market transparency.
