Zillow

Property listing platform

Zillow is a real estate website and app that provides home listings, property values, and market data.

Its signature feature is the Zestimate—an algorithmic estimate of a home's market value.

The name has become nearly generic for online home browsing: We were Zillowing houses in the neighborhood.

People use it to check their own home's value, scout properties before buying, or simply indulge real estate fantasies: I spent an hour Zillowing mansions I'll never afford.
