Zillow’s Post

In a surprising turn, late summer holds windows of opportunities for both homebuyers and sellers. Lower rates and more inventory are opening doors for buyers, while homes are moving relatively quickly for sellers. Dive into the details in the August Market Report. 🔑🏠 https://lnkd.in/gSe7FTUj

At Zillow, we’ve always been obsessed with improving the customer experience through product innovation. Our CEO, Jeremy Wacksman, shared his insights with Stratechery on how we’ve done that over the years — from the first days of the mobile web to today’s AI-packed housing super app. Give the podcast episode a listen if you’re a Stratechery subscriber: https://lnkd.in/g3qRCrKc And if not, check out the free transcript here: https://lnkd.in/gG3jVd3m

August saw a softer rental market thanks to more multifamily new construction coming online. For renters, this means slow rent growth and increased concessions like weeks of free rent or free parking.

Our people fuel our innovation, and this recognition—driven by employee feedback—makes it even more meaningful. We’re dedicated to solving customer challenges and transforming the real estate experience to make moving homes more digital, seamless, and less stressful. We’re proud of our commitment to create a better, easier real estate experience for movers at Zillow — especially today, as we’ve been named on Fortune Best Workplaces in Real Estate 2024 by Great Place To Work US.

Though renovation can help improve the value of a home, it’s not always in the budget. We teamed up with Thumbtack to identify the top features buyers are excited about – and how sellers can incorporate them without breaking the bank (or breaking out a construction crew).

At Zillow, we’re proud to be headquartered in the cloud. We’re not just reimagining real estate; we’re setting the standard for flexible, productive, and inclusive workplace experiences. Our Cloud HQ model isn’t just about where we work – it’s a game changer for our business and key in helping our teams to thrive. In an interview with Fortune, Zillow CEO Jeremy Wacksman shared that flexible work is not so much a concession as an enablement tool. The best work often results from workers feeling respected and empowered.  “Treat adults responsibly, and set them up to do their best work.” Jeremy also shared that Zillow remains steadfast in its commitment to innovation, evolving to customers' needs, and creating a work environment where everyone can do their best work, no matter where they are.
