Mon, 12 Nov 2007 06:01:21 +0000 http://www.futureofrealestatemarketing.com/teething-problems-for-zillow#comment-15872 Where is Louis Cammarosano's commentary on Zillow now? Zillow has been making huge deals with major brokerages recently and Louis Cammarosano from HomeGain has not piped in with his usual negativity. I guess he is too busy plugging all the holes at HomeGain where traffic and profits are down considerably this year. He finally realized he needed to get off his high horse and take care of business back at home. Where is Louis Cammarosano’s commentary on Zillow now?

But before they can really even dominate, they'll have to fill in all of the gaps and improve on accuracy first. I’m still not convince Zillow has a solid model.

While Trulia seems to have hit upon connecting with the real estate industry (note their big broker listing deals) . They seem to also have had further success connecting their realtors with an increasing number of visitors. Zillow, however, seems to be mired in providing the latest cool technology that doesn't seem to be driving any more visitors to its site (witness Inman news yesterday citing Hitwise that Zillow fell below Yahoo real estate in traffic last month) I'm not sure how Zillow is monetizing its visitors either-selling banner ads and e-z ads to a shrinking visitor base that is still fascincated with checking out Zestimated prices of their own homes, looking up celebrity homes zestimates and offering up their homes in an effort to reach other visitors involved in similar activity to "make them move" doesn't sound like throwing its weight around to me. Courting the press, bloggers and consumers seems to be Zillow's strong suite. This is a formula proven to make money in the entertainment business-but hasn't worked yet in real estate............yet...

I’m not sure how Zillow is monetizing its visitors either-selling banner ads and e-z ads to a shrinking visitor base that is still fascincated with checking out Zestimated prices of their own homes, looking up celebrity homes zestimates and offering up their homes in an effort to reach other visitors involved in similar activity to “make them move” doesn’t sound like throwing its weight around to me.

Courting the press, bloggers and consumers seems to be Zillow’s strong suite.

This is a formula proven to make money in the entertainment business-but hasn’t worked yet in real estate…………yet…

Figured something must have been wrong with my computer again so I shut it down for the night. I totally forgot to try the links again the next day and deleted the email. I'm sure whatever it is they're working on will be good stuff... Yeah, I got that email from Zillow, tried the links, but they weren’t working.
