Zillow is easy to use and I like the maps and being able to see home values whether they are for sale or not. The down side of Zillow is that sometimes homes are left on the site that are no longer for sale. This is a problem when i see what i want and inquire only to find it isn't on the market anymore. Feel like it may be on purpose to increase traffic and get names to sell to relators.

The good about Zillow, it is easy to search local areas, use filters and find listings. The bad: Zillow does a poor job at keeping its listings current. If you don't filter you will find a lot of listings are aged. Many are no longer on the market and the only reason they are there, it seems, is to drive you to meet with a realtor. We found that the listings were generally no longer on the market. Agents know that most listings on Zillow are not current. There are a lot of listing directed to you that show "pre-forclosure". These are completely useless and not accurate. The main sources on Zillow appear to be new developments that are pushing new construction. For the person looking for existing homes you are better off to find a good realtor who will only show you what you are looking for. Zillow looks well developed, is pleasing to the eye and has lots of features. It is just polluted with so much duff, that we lost interest in using it as a source and went with a realtor. There are better sites where the listings are kept more current.

Our family found a house because of Zillow. Zillow is a great resource if you are looking for any houses for sale or for rent based on which location you pick. I love how we can find our agents on there. It's super neat and useful when you are house hunting!

Zillow made searching for an apartment so easy. I really enjoyed how I could easily contact the agents within the app, making searching for my next home that much simpler! Plus, the app is updated in real time with new listings, so I was always up to date.

I found my current apartment on Zillow! I really loved how easy it was to search for specific characteristics that I was looking for in an apartment. Their website is very polished and easy to navigate. I highly recommend using Zillow to help you find your next apartment or home!

Zillow gave a great overview of tons of listings within the area in which we were looking. I loved using all their filters when conducting a search so I didn't have to look through listings that didn't fit what we were looking for. Their map feature is very helpful too! Allowing us to visualize where the home was located. I found, however, that many of the listings were out of date. Some of the properties had already sold. I wish it was more current.

Thanks to the ease of use, the Zillow app makes house hunting a breeze! I can look it up on-the-go, draw a geographic area to search within with my finger, search nearby, and the filters make it easy to narrow down the results to a most consise list of my needs.

I find that Zillow is extremely lackluster and perhaps that's just for my area but they never have what I'm looking for, they barely have any places listed on their site or app, and I'm not even sure what they're doing trying to compete with other companies like them out there. I want to like them and I continue to use them but I close the app as fast as I open it.

Customer support is totally non-existent. Phone calls are not accepted unless you are a realtor. When you list-be prepared for constant hounding by realtors from sunup to sunset. My home racked up 2338 views with 68 saves. I wondered why no responses-to express interest you click agent where they give my email-no phone number accepted-that`s for realtors. Anyway 4 acquaintances tried to contact my email and I received a big nothing. Ripoff-pure and simple. Wrote to them concerning this issue 5 days ago and a big zero for a response. BTW Trulia is also owned by this same group. If you value your sanity stay away.

Zillow is a great cite to browse real estate to get an idea of what the market is in your area and virtually tour homes without an agent from your couch.

Very easy to search properties, like the fact you can narrow your search criteria making it useful. Like the fact it saves your searches and you get notified when a property matches your criteria.

These people are a nightmare!! We aren't even listed with them. Our home is not for sale, not in pre-foreclosure, not up for auction!! Our home has been in loan modification, was approved by our first lender, sold to another lender and is in final review. We have been told by our lender that all is approved. Zillow and Auction.com will not remove the false listing!! They both tell us to have the mortgage company just call them...Per both of our lenders, "we don't call Zillow or Auciton.com". Both mortgage companies are saying this is a scam and will be initiating legal action. We are in contact with our attorney as well. This happened the first time in Feb 2019, and was removed immediately by Zillow. Now somehow they just can't remove it. This was re-posted a week ago and now they won't remove it!! Avoid Auction.com and Zillow at all cost. They listed this on their own, we never contacted them.

When I was looking to buy a house, I enjoyed using Zillow. The only thing I didn't like was that houses would already be sold and they would still be up on zillow's site and it was kind of frustrating.

Ziillow is a great tool to find a house, but isn't necessarily the best tool to find a foreclosed home. A lot of time, the "foreclosed" listings on Zillow are outdated or are just ways to get your to look at a house even though it is not foreclosed. Best to look at real foreclosed sites to get real information. Zillow can help give ideas and pricing though.

Best overall real estate app, except for the most important aspect of a real estate app, timeliness and accuracy of postings. Other real estate apps have updated info hours or even days before Zillow. Zillow provides the best pictures without annoying stripes or announceme ts. It also is the easiest to navigate.

The best part about using Zillow is that they have a section where it’s possible to view house for sale by owner. That’s how I found my house and I didn’t have all the crazy competition that the realtor listings had.

I have used Zillow for years and love how easy it is to use their website, as well as, how informative it is to see potential houses, neighborhoods and what surrounding area has to offer. However, I've recently read Zillow uses the user data to identify high search areas and use this information to invest in areas that have a high demand for profit. I'm not against companies making money but in the end it hurts the user because it increases the housing and rental costs in those areas and then companies like Zillow can either profit or sell banking the money made based solely on the users searches. Zillow recently sold half it's housing inventory (18,000 homes) which according to Housingwire dropped their market cap from $48 billion to $13.7 billion, so it will be interesting to see what happens in the future? If it's a housing market crash soon then maybe Zillow got advanced warning and dumped it's real estate on the market blaming it's failed iBuying platform?

I use Zillow's app to get a general price for homes in different geographic areas. Interface is clean and easy to navigate. Some of the features, such as drawing a circle to see homes in that area, are a bit clunky on the phone, but overall a nice experience.

While I really like the Zillow app, it is not always easy to maneuver in the app. When I type in an area or zip I want to look into, I am brought to a map rather than a listing of houses to look at. I think this is a bit confusing to the average user and compared to other sites, it would be best to see the listings first, be able to filter on specifics (which Zillow does) and then choose to look at a map if I want to do that.

I believe Zillow is overplaying its hand with the "Zestimate." What is the purpose of this nonsense? For example, I have two homes - one of which is substantially overvalued given the market and one substantially undervalued. Changes, updates and market conditions do not reflect in the "Zestimate" even after several months. I feel Zillow has become a leader in data collection and listings, however I do not feel the information Zillow generates from their market study is worthwhile.

Zillow amasses an extraordinary amount of properties for you to look at. The user-interface is terrific: searching is easy, and you can set parameters for cost, B/B, and so on very easily. The biggest problem is that you can waste a ton of time because their data isn't always up to date. Properties under contract are often displayed as available, which wastes a lot of time.

I loved using Zillow before searching to purchase our first house! I thought I was well-informed until I talked to a couple realtors about it, and they said Zillow wasn't the greatest resource... I still appreciated being able to check Zillow for photos and any extra property information, but I ended up using Redfin and MLS as a more reliable source for information about the houses we went to see.

Great place to search for real estate and current market conditions. I will say the Zillow estimate is usually a little off and there are a few other sites that you can compare to, and those sites tend to be closer to apprised value.

It is an easy way to find a location and information about a specific property. It doesn't always have a lot of information, especially if it is not for sale. It does allow the prospective customer the chance to narrow or widen their search.
