A Whole New Market…

Editorial by Bryan Menell I’m not exactly an economist, but I’ve recently noticed some innovations that I think are really brilliant. The definition of a market price is whatever a willing buyer will pay a willing seller. But what about…

All you need to do is go to the site and click on the Post For Sale tab, and walk through the steps. It is free for anyone to post their house for sale on the site, and you can upload unlimited photos of the home.

I would like to list a condo I own — how do I do that?

This is actually a good idea beyond the obvious.

It allows a potential seller to offer their home for sale without it showing up in the MLS as a listed property. At least I am assuming it won’t show up.

The problem many home sellers face right now is that once they list a property tradtionally, they can’t turn around a refinance the property for 6 months after the listing expiration with most banks and lenders.

This is a problem as many homeowners who can’t sell often panic and look to refinance to grab the equity in their home.

A month ago, zillow had the correct square footage for my house. Today, the Zestimate has gone up but the square footage is now 400sq feet less. Amazingly inaccurate. It also says my house is now a brick house(guess that’s why the estimate went up!).

So they made the data worse? And I’m supposed to correct this? You know buyers will use this against buying my house… I mean their data is dead wrong. And they updated good data with bad data. Poor.

I like Zillow, and this might become a good feature if I should ever have a hard time selling my home. Some features of Zillow make it hard to really see what the value of my improvements might do to my asking price though. Some things like added R-value to the house and updated fuse boxes are hard to put a dollar amount on for value.

Spencer - need any smart remote folks living on the East Coast

BTW - Love the site, and wish you’d add data for the York County, PA area (I know, it’s tough to catalog the boondoggles, even if it is really a suburb of Baltimore).

Responding to Jason Fried (#29) above:

Jason, Spencer from Zillow here.
We actually have about 140 employees, not 350. We have lots of job openings (mostly developers and advertising salespeople), but not enough to get us to 350 any time soon.
We do indeed have very nice office space in downtown Seattle (the 41st and 46th floor of the Wells Fargo Tower). After all, we are a real estate company, right?
