Time to short

[dawhitesox]

anyone look at this shitty stock anymore? i am way short on it, cant believe the valuation on this pos stock

[CowBoE]

What a bargain!!! Picked up $26.00 in AH yesterday!!!

Very strong 3Q quarter, and only slightly lowered guidance and they dump foreclosure.com and doing their own marketing.

Z is making strategically good decision to grow the company organically rather than to rely on 3rd party and paying referral fees.

This is bouncing to at least $30 either today or this week.

Good point to enter!

[ICEQUITY]

With a market cap of over $840 million, Zillow Z has predicted that sales in 2011 will show a year over year improvement of more than double their 2010 numbers.

http://editorial.equities.com/financial/internet-ipos-show-mixed-results/

[Mac the Knife]

Why is that? I like that it just turned a profit and it is gaining in unique user numbers as well as the revenue coming in from real estate agents advertising is growing. I see this as a long term hold.

[Hostile Takeover]

This company suits my style.

Zillow was initiated with a Buy rating at Citigroup. $36 price target. Strong growth profile, Citigroup said.

[Polish Crusader]

I see on the third day the volume is down to 113,000 and a price of 33.35. It may be that $27 will come soon. jmo

[Polish Crusader]

We use Zillow at our real estate company and it is one of the few things that work these days. I see that after almost an hour of being open this 2nd morning that the volume is down to about 272,000 and the price is $38.47 but the excitement is gone. If the stock does not drift back to $27, I will be surprised.

[mantzes]

when can i short!?

[WestMaui76]

Crazy trading with this ipo today. I believe we close the day between $45 - $46 and am buying lunch time dips. Of course, with no historical trading data who really knows...

Real estate listings site Zillow has just filed additional documents with the SEC indicating the initial range for the company’s upcoming IPO. Zillow’s price range will start at $12 to $14 per share, giving the company a $378 million valuation. The company aims to raise as much as $55.7 million in the IPO. Zillow will begin trading under the symbol “Z” on the NASDAQ.

Zillow, which initially filed its S-1 in April, currently lists over 100 million U.S. homes, including homes for sale, homes for rent and homes not currently on the market. Zillow launched a mortgage marketplace in 2008, and subsequently expanded into rentals and mobile.

The company’s traffic to its web and mobile sites is up 100 percent year-over-year and in May 2011, Zillow was used on a mobile device more than 8.8 million times, with more than 1.7 million homes viewed on mobile devices each day.

For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, the company generated revenues of $10.6 million, $17.5 million and $30.5 million, representing year-over-year growth of 49%, 65% and 74%, respectively. And during the three months ended March 31, 2011, Zillow generated revenue of $11.3 million, as compared to $5.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of 111%. Unfortunately, in terms of income, Zillow has been taking a loss for the past three years.

The company lost $12.8 million in 2009, and lost roughly half of that ($6.7 million) in 2010. The company, which launched to the public in 2006, also revealed that as of December 31, 2010, it has an accumulated deficit of $78.7 million. In the three months ended March 31, Zillow lost $826,000.

According to Experian Hitwise, Zillow.com is the third most visited Real Estate site in the U.S and received 5.36% of Real Estate visits in March 2011, which is a 53% increase compared to March 2010.

It should be interesting to see how Zillow will perform on the public markets. Some tech companies like HomeAway, Fusion-IO and Yandex have seen steady share values, whereas Pandora and LinkedIn saw huge fluctuations in share price. And the fact that Zillow hasn’t made a profit yet could influence this.

Zillow IPO finally ticker Z

[XV19]

yup..and if you live in a high demand area like I do, all it takes is a sign in the front yard, a fair price, and the house is gone in 2 weeks. I think there are places you can pay a flat fee for an MLS listing as well.

[QuickTrade]

I agree. Thats why Foxtons.com is changing the way people do real estate. They charge 3% and thats it. It used to be 2% but that was without a listing agent. Now the 3% includes open houses, listing agent, AND MLS!! That's the key thing about selling a property, "awareness" without that, you're doomed to months without action.

You can only do so much and if you don't mind spending the money up front or the leg work yourself, then put aside $1000 for advertising and good luck.

Want to hear a crazy stat for here in CT? 24% of realtors didn't renew their license this year. That goes to show how bad the market has been. To top it off, they are trying to push the sale now as opposed to letting the buyers duke it out.

[XV19]

that's the problem with sites like Zillow (and others). On top of that, add the piss poor job that LAZY inspectors do...like not even looking INSIDE of a house...just do a drive by and comps based on sales of nearby houses.

frankly..imvho...the real estate market is RIFE with fraud and deception. Don't EVEN get me started on the insanity of commision fees for selling a house. Nowadays, with the internet, all the information available to EDUCATE yourself on buying/selling a house....a sales commision structure based on the VALUE of the property is just insane.

last time I did the math, it turns out that if I sell my house for what it's really worth, nearly 32% of my total equity growth from the past 10 years I've lived in it will go to commision!! F' that.

It should simply be a flat fee (or an hourly rate, depending on what it takes to sell).

[QuickTrade]

Wait a second, you can update the info on your home on the site and it'll adjust??

I had an appraiser give me a lower price then zillow and I just updated everything in there plus ocean views. We got into an argument and of course he said that Zillow is not good because they don't see the inside and they are months behind, blah, blah, blah.

[XV19]

glad to see it's getting used more. I updated the info on my home a few days ago (not that it's for sale tho..)

no idea about an IPO..guess we'll just have to watch. I'd love to know how they make $$.

[QuickTrade]

Hi DK. Hey, Zillow is being used by so many people. Not like YouTube but when is this thing IPOing??

(COMTEX)Zillow gets $25M more in venture capital
( Knight-Ridder Open )


Jul 25, 2006 (The Seattle Times - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via
COMTEX) --
Zillow.com attracts offers the way a low-priced home lures buyers in Seattle.

The Seattle company, which provides estimates of home values based on
publicly available information, is disclosing today that it received $25
million in a second round of venture capital.

To date, the company has raised $57 million, a staggering amount considering
it launched its product only five months ago, in February.

Chief Financial Officer Spencer Rascoff said Zillow was not looking for
money, but that it decided to take the offer so it can grow faster than
planned.

Boston-based PAR Capital Management led the round of funding after it
contacted Zillow about making an investment, Rascoff said. Zillow's previous
investors, Benchmark Capital and Technology Crossover Ventures, also
participated in the round, which took two only weeks to close.

"There was no formal process," Rascoff said. "In fact, I wouldn't call it a
process. It came together really quickly."

PAR typically invests in publicly held companies, but Rascoff said the fit
was natural and consistent with Zillow's other investors. PAR had previously
invested in Expedia, which was founded by Rich Barton, Zillow's chief
executive. Zillow's other investors also had a close relationship with Barton
before investing.

Rascoff said Zillow received attention because it is doing well at getting
customers and advertising. The site receives about 2 million to 3 million
visitors a month. In addition, it has about 50 direct relationships with
advertisers and thousands more through Google ad links.

With the additional funding, the company plans to add at least 40 employees
to its staff of 118. Rascoff would not say what development projects the
company was working on.

"We are being a little bit tight-lipped about what's coming next with
respect to the product, but we are constantly trying to improve the quality
of the underlying data," he said.

Currently, Zillow provides valuations on 67 million U.S. homes, and claims
an accuracy of plus or minus 5 percent in the Seattle market. The company
would not disclose any of its financials. Other companies diving into the
online real-estate business locally include Seattle-based Redfin and
Kirkland-based HouseValues.com.

Zillow is the second Seattle company in the past two weeks to get funding
after investors approached it. Seattle-based Jobster, which assists with
online recruiting, raised $18 million, in part, from the venture arm of Reed
Elsevier.

Rascoff said investors are interested in the "big disconnect" between the
amount of advertising dollars being spent online and the amount of time
people spend online compared with other mediums. "There's a lot of wind at
your back in the advertising space," he said. "We are well positioned."

VENTURE INVESTMENT TREND ENCOURAGING

Venture-capital investing in the U.S. and Washington state in the second
quarter hit levels not seen for several years, according to The MoneyTree
survey being released today.

In the U.S., $6.35 billion was invested in privately held companies in the
second quarter, up 2.4 percent from the prior quarter. In Washington, $311.6
million was invested, up 15.7 percent from the first quarter. The quarterly
results had not been as high in the U.S. since 2002, or in the state since
2001.

The increases are a sign that investors are optimistic, analysts said during
a MoneyTree conference call Monday.

The MoneyTree survey is compiled by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Thomson Venture
Economics and National Venture Capital Association.

What Zillow users are saying to us

http://www.zillowblog.com/
Posted by Lloyd Frink President
Categories: Zillow
It's Day 2 and already there's been a lot of chatter on blogs about what we're doing and how Zestimates stack up to people's expectations. We've received lots of feedback, too. On the first day we received over a thousand emails. So, in the spirit of transparency, we want to share what people had to say:

21% report our home facts have inaccuracies (wrong # of bedrooms, bathrooms, sq. ft. etc)
17% dig the site and congratulate us
16% think our Zestimates (home valuations) are off
12% want to be signed up to get regular email updates from us (advertisers, Real Estate Professionals)
10% are suggesting new functionality
6% report not finding their homes
3% want to advertise with us
3% are Mac users and want us to support Safari
3% report our maps aren’t correct for their location
3% don’t like us or our new site
2% did not get a Zestimate
2% had navigation questions
1% had business propositions for us
1% reported bugs
We love this feedback because it tells us what we need to work on and how we can get better, so please keep it coming.

Many people like our site, and that is heartwarming. (Especially considering that people are traditionally more likely to share criticism than praise.) Others, however, have a few issues with it. The main topics are our data and Zestimate coverage and accuracy. We give you the gory details of this on the site.

This is an interesting article...

Zillow vs. RealEstate.com?
I found it curious that IAC/InterActive Corp.'s RealEstate.com unit chose the Pacific Northwest to test the waters for its new real estate brokerage business, a story that was reported by Bloomberg News, The Wall Street Journal and Inman News this week.

The reason the story interested me is that it could potentially lead to a face off or some interesting cooperation between IAC/InterActive Corp.'s Barry Diller and Zillow Chief Executive Rich Barton.

As the former CEO of Bellevue-based Expedia, Barton previously reported to Diller. He launched Zillow -- a highly-secretive Seattle online real estate startup -- late last year.

Given the widely reported clashes between Barton and Diller, I would guess the two executives will not be working together to conquer the real estate world.

Here's a great overview of the rocky relationship as reported by BusinessWeek earlier this month.

"Diller inherited a crack team at Expedia, headed by Barton. In 2002, shortly after buying his first company, Diller lauded Barton for transforming an industry. He even went so far as to describe Barton as a latter-day Henry Ford," reports BusinessWeek. "Yet the two often clashed. And when Diller, over employees' objections, imposed a policy eliminating Expedia stock options on Jan. 1, 2003, Barton had had enough."

I asked Barton earlier this year if he anticipated any issues with IAC, such as violating "non-compete agreements." Barton -- who resigned from the IAC board in February -- said he did not and that any non-compete was limited to the travel industry.

I also asked him about the business models of low-cost brokerage firms such as ZipRealty. Barton said the brokerage model was not an idea Zillow would pursue.

Here's a story I did on Barton when he first started Zillow and another story when a few more details leaked out.

But for now, Zillow's intentions in the multi-billion dollar real estate industry remain a mystery.

apparently like 62 million.. I think I remember reading somewhere that their database was over 2 terabytes and growing...lol

[fructose]

It has the average home price in UT is $1.07M. Gotta be off a decimal place there. And Nevada($300) higher than Colorado($218) and Florida($227)? Highly doubt that. I wonder how accurate the individual homes are though.

[fructose]

This has got to be coolest website ever. I'm totally amazed on what I'm finding here. Is this every single house in the country?
