This figure dwarfs its closest competitor, Realtor.com, which garnered less than half of Zillow's traffic. Online platforms are extremely popular, with the majority of homebuyers using a mobile device during the buying process. The rise of Zillow Founded in 2006, the Seattle-headquartered proptech Zillow has steadily grown over the years, establishing itself as the most popular U.S. real estate website. In 2023, the listing platform recorded about *** million unique monthly users across its mobile applications and website. Despite holding an undisputed position as a market leader, Zillow's revenue has decreased since 2021. A probable cause for the decline is the plummeting of housing transactions and the negative housing sentiment. Performance and trends in the proptech market The proptech market has shown remarkable performance, with companies like Opendoor and Redfin experiencing significant stock price increase in 2023. This growth is particularly notable in the residential brokerage segment. Meanwhile, major players in proptech fundraising, such as Fifth Wall and Hidden Hill Capital, have raised billions in direct investment, further fueling the sector's development. As technology continues to reshape the real estate industry, online platforms like Zillow are likely to play an increasingly crucial role in how people search for and purchase homes.

The online residential home sale listings industry is experiencing significant changes in its dynamics because of the increased number of homes for sale. The growth in listings is because of various factors, including a climb in the number of homeowners choosing to sell, the easing of the mortgage rate lock-in effect, and economic concerns driving the sale of investment properties. These conditions and the shift from a seller's market towards a more balanced, or even a buyer's market, translate into increased traffic and engagement on home sale platforms. This presents an opportunity for these online platforms to enhance their user experience, refine search tools and offer data analytics to help buyers navigate the increased options. By the end of 2025, industry revenue has climbed at a CAGR of 3.0% and is expected to total $2.2 billion in 2025. In 2025, revenue is expected to strengthen by an estimated 4.2%. Despite enjoying growth, the industry faces challenges with the elevated mortgage rates reducing demand for home purchases, leading to a market freeze. Despite the gain in home listings, actual transaction volumes have remained subdued, creating a challenging environment for the online residential home sale listing platforms. To stay competitive, these platforms are pivoting to offer enhanced tools for price comparisons, real-time mortgage calculators and in-depth educational content to help buyers understand the increased cost of borrowing and also navigate the high inventory but low turnover market. Industry profit has climbed as revenue has outpaced wage growth through the end of 2025. Through the end of 2030, online platforms must position themselves for demographic shifts and changing consumer preferences. Gen Z and younger millennials, who are entering homebuying age, are demanding a more tech-driven, seamless and mobile-first experience. The industry will also continue to see online platforms transform into comprehensive, one-stop digital destinations offering integrated services for every stage of the housing journey. Embracing changes such as artificial intelligence and data analytics to enhance user experience, streamlining listings uploads and offering real-time communication between buyers, sellers, and agents will be crucial for future success. Platforms that offer user-friendly, one-stop experiences and are equipped to provide advanced, feature-rich mobile experiences are set to capture greater market share. Overall, industry revenue will gain at a CAGR of 3.3% through 2030 to total $2.6 billion.

TwitterHello my fellow data enthusiasts! I'm back!
My journey into the world of real estate data has been nothing short of exciting, and I’m thrilled to share the fruits of that adventure with you all. After spending a few weeks tinkering with APIs, parsing responses, and structuring data into something meaningful, I'm excited to present the CLEANEST Zillow Dataset you've every seen!
Analysts will be able to get actionable insights and a structured view into the fascinating world of property data.
Here’s the story behind the dataset: Zillow’s data provides a treasure trove of information, but raw responses can be messy with nested structures, and scattered details. So, I rolled up my sleeves and built a robust pipeline to extract key data points from each response. From property details to price history, every piece of information was carefully categorized and mapped into logical fields. My goal was to create a dataset that feels as polished and user-friendly as the apps we rely on daily.
What Makes This Dataset Special?
If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to geek out about data, don’t hesitate to connect with me on LinkedIn or here on Kaggle. Let’s build something awesome together!
NOTES: I use Google's Cloud Composer to request this data and due to costs, I'm only grabbing data for properties that were recently put up for sale or sold within the day of execution. If you're looking for historical data, please reach out!
Disclaimer: This dataset is intended for non-commercial, academic purposes and does not infringe upon Zillow's intellectual property rights. For full details on Zillow's terms, please visit Zillow's Terms of Use.

TwitterZillow's Economic Research Team collects, cleans and publishes housing and economic data from a variety of public and proprietary sources. Public property record data filed with local municipalities -- including deeds, property facts, parcel information and transactional histories -- forms the backbone of our data products, and is fleshed out with proprietary data derived from property listings and user behavior on Zillow.
The large majority of Zillow's aggregated housing market and economic data is made available for free download at zillow.com/data.
Variable Availability:
Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI): A smoothed seasonally adjusted measure of the median estimated home value across a given region and housing type. A dollar denominated alternative to repeat-sales indices. Find a more detailed methodology here: http://www.zillow.com/research/zhvi-methodology-6032/
Zillow Rent Index (ZRI): A smoothed seasonally adjusted measure of the median estimated market rate rent across a given region and housing type. A dollar denominated alternative to repeat-rent indices. Find a more detailed methodology here: http://www.zillow.com/research/zillow-rent-index-methodology-2393/
For-Sale Listing/Inventory Metrics: Zillow provides many variables capturing current and historical for-sale listings availability, generally from 2012 to current. These variables include median list prices and inventory counts, both by various property types. Variables capturing for-sale market competitiveness including share of listings with a price cut, median price cut size, age of inventory, and the days a listing spend on Zillow before the sale is final.
Home Sales Metrics: Zillow provides data on sold homes including median sale price by various housing types, sale counts (methodology here: http://www.zillow.com/research/home-sales-methodology-7733/), and a normalized view of sale volume referred to as turnover. The prevalence of foreclosures is also provided as ratio of the housing stock and the share of all sales in which the home was previously foreclosed upon.
For-Rent Listing Metrics: Zillow provides median rents prices and median rent price per square foot by property type and bedroom count.
Housing type definitions:
All Homes: Zillow defines all homes as single-family, condominium and co-operative homes with a county record. Unless specified, all series cover this segment of the housing stock.
Condo/Co-op: Condominium and co-operative homes.
Multifamily 5+ units: Units in buildings with 5 or more housing units, that are not a condominiums or co-ops.
Duplex/Triplex: Housing units in buildings with 2 or 3 housing units.
Tiers: By metro, we determine price tier cutoffs that divide the all homes housing stock into thirds using the full distribution of estimated home values. We then estimate real estate metrics within the property sets, Bottom, Middle, and Top, defined by these cutoffs. When reported at the national level, all Bottom Tier homes defined at the metro level are pooled together to form the national bottom tier. The same holds for Middle and Top Tier homes.
Regional Availability:
Zillow metrics are reported for common US geographies including Nation, State, Metro (2013 Census Defined CBSAs), County, City, ZIP code, and Neighborhood.
We provide a crosswalk between colloquial Zillow region names and federally defined region names and linking variables such as County FIPS codes and CBSA codes. Cities and Neighborhoods do not match standard jurisdictional boundaries. Zillow city boundaries reflect mailing address conventions and so are often visually similar to collections of ZIP codes. Zillow neighborhood boundaries can be found here.
Suppression Rules: To ensure reliability of reported values the Zillow Economic Research team applies suppression rules triggered by low sample sizes and excessive volatility. These rules are customized to the metric and region type and explain most missingness found in the provided datasets.

The global Property Technology (PropTech) market, valued at $27 billion in 2025, is projected to experience robust growth, driven by increasing urbanization, the rise of smart homes, and the growing adoption of digital technologies across the real estate sector. A Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.6% from 2025 to 2033 suggests a significant expansion to approximately $38 billion by 2033. Key drivers include the increasing demand for efficient property management solutions, the need for enhanced customer experience through online platforms, and the integration of data analytics for better investment decisions. The market is segmented by application (hospitality, retail, manufacturing, construction, others) and property type (residential, commercial, others). The hospitality and residential segments currently dominate, fueled by platforms like Airbnb and Zillow, respectively. However, increasing technological advancements within the construction and manufacturing sectors promise significant future growth for these segments. Geographic distribution shows North America and Asia Pacific holding the largest market shares, driven by substantial investment in innovative PropTech startups and established players. The ongoing digital transformation within the real estate sector, combined with the continuous development of cutting-edge technologies like VR/AR for virtual property tours and AI-driven property valuations, positions the PropTech market for sustained expansion in the coming years. The competitive landscape is highly dynamic, with both established players (Zillow Group, Redfin, CoStar Group) and rapidly growing innovative startups (Airbnb, OYO, WeWork) vying for market share. Increased competition is likely to spur further technological innovation and drive down prices, making PropTech solutions more accessible to a wider range of consumers and businesses. While challenges exist, such as regulatory hurdles and data security concerns, the overall positive market outlook is largely driven by the undeniable benefits offered by PropTech solutions - enhanced transparency, streamlined processes, cost reduction, and improved efficiency across the real estate lifecycle. Future growth will depend on addressing these challenges effectively and adapting to the evolving technological landscape. Continued investment in research and development and strategic partnerships will be crucial for market participants to maintain competitiveness and capitalize on emerging opportunities.

METHODOLOGY NOTES (across all datasets for this indicator)
Housing price estimates at the regional-, county-, city- and zip code-level come from analysis of individual home sales by Zillow based upon transaction records. Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) is a smoothed, seasonally adjusted measure of the typical home value and market changes across a given region and housing type. It reflects the typical value for homes in the 35th to 65th percentile range. ZHVI is computed from public record transaction data as reported by counties. All standard real estate transactions are included in this metric, including REO sales and auctions. Zillow makes a substantial effort to remove transactions not typically considered a standard sale. Examples of these include bank takeovers of foreclosed properties, title transfers after a death or divorce and non arms-length transactions. Zillow defines all homes as single-family residential, condominium and co-operative homes with a county record. Single-family residences are detached, which means the home is an individual structure with its own lot. Condominiums are units that can be owned in a multi-unit complex, such as an apartment building. Co-operative homes are slightly different from condominiums in that the homeowners own shares in the corporation that owns the building, not the actual units themselves.
For metropolitan area comparison values, the Bay Area metro area’s median home sale price is the population-weighted average of the nine counties’ median home prices. Data is adjusted for inflation using Bureau of Labor Statistics metropolitan statistical area (MSA)-specific series. Inflation-adjusted data are presented to illustrate how home prices have grown relative to overall price increases; that said, the use of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) does create some challenges given the fact that housing represents a major chunk of consumer goods bundle used to calculate CPI. This reflects a methodological tradeoff between precision and accuracy and is a common concern when working with any commodity that is a major component of the CPI itself.
