The enhanced design of for-sale property listings on Zillow.com offers a wider, single-scroll format, making it easier for home shoppers to find key information, such as square footage, the Zestimate® feature, lot size and home type. The new layout also introduces a media section at the top of the page that better showcases photos and 3D tours. By clicking on a photo, the media section expands, providing a full-page, magazine-style layout for seamless navigation through the rest of the home's photography.
"The new design delivers a fun and efficient way to browse homes on the Zillow website, making it easier for home shoppers to navigate and process information," said Jenny Arden, chief design officer at Zillow. "We introduced a wider layout for images, larger fonts for the most important facts and a clearer articulation of what makes the home special to help our users quickly understand if the home is right for them."
Zillow's app updates: Navigate with ease and simplify financing with the Home Loans tab In addition to the redesign on the Zillow website, for-sale property listings on the Zillow app (iOS) are also receiving an update. This new look minimizes excessive scrolling by allowing users to more easily find the information that matters the most to them, whether that's home facts and features, a cost calculator or the Zestimate history.
When viewing a for-sale listing on the app, users will see a new look that presents the home details categorized into sections such as "What's Special,"' "Market Value," "Monthly Cost" and "Neighborhood." Users can click into particular sections of interest to find more details. This new look will be available before the end of the year on the Zillow iOS app.
Zillow is also introducing a new "Home Loans" tab on the Zillow app to help shoppers become buyers. Users can now easily figure out their budget, connect with a lender, get prequalified with Zillow Home Loans℠, and track their loan status — all in one place.
"Financing is a critical part of the home-buying process, and 60% of buyers say setting their budget is their first step when buying a home. With this update, we're helping the millions of people browsing the Zillow app better understand what they can afford within their budget and see a clear path toward getting the mortgage they need," said Matt Daimler, senior vice president of product at Zillow. "We're already seeing an impact: Customers are saying it's easier than ever to access and use our financing tools and get prequalified with Zillow Home Loans."

Unlike most real estate portals around the world, agents do not pay to list on Zillow or any other real estate portal thanks to the MLS system. Because Zillow is a member of the National Association of Realtors it has access to a so-called IDX feed of all the listings that are available on MLSs around the country.
Zillow's website was launched on February 8, 2006, and included a home-valuation tool that anyone could use. Other features at the time included information about home sale history and charts and graphs comparing home value appreciation with other towns or states.
Zillow updates the Zestimate algorithm as it comes up with more ways to improve its accuracy. When this happens, Zestimates can change significantly even though nothing may have changed about homes or the real estate market.
There are several reasons why Zillow's Zestimate may be inaccurate. For one, the feature relies heavily on publicly available data, such as property tax records and past sales data. This means that it may not take into account certain factors, such as renovations or additions to a home, that could affect its value.
Zillow's biggest competitor is Redfin, an online real estate brokerage that provides home value estimates and other tools for home buyers and sellers. It seeks to disrupt traditional brokerages like Zillow's Premier Agent and Broker advertising services.
Zillow: Redfin is more accurate when valuing homes. Both Zillow and Redfin give homes an approximate value, but the Zestimate provided by Zillow has proven slightly less accurate than Redfin's estimate. Final numbers depend significantly on the local market and demand for a property in your particular location.
If you are able to view the MLS in your area online directly, you will only see properties that are currently active on the market. This makes the MLS more accurate than Zillow, which frequently keeps properties listed as available long after they have been taken off the market.
Housing website Zillow has also announced another round of layoffs a week after disclosing its third-quarter earnings. The company reportedly laid off nearly two dozen workers across multiple teams, constituting less than 1% of the company's workforce, according to Real Estate News.
Another way to optimize your listing is by adding a video walkthrough, which you can record and publish for free using the Premier Agent app. Adding a video walkthrough to your listing boosts the views it will garner on Zillow.com, which helps you find an interested buyer more quickly.
