In the Spotlight

• Record Breaking Traffic:  Despite the gloomy real estate market (and the slowest real estate month of the year), December was a record traffic month for the Zillow business.  5.8 million unique visitors came to Zillow.com, which is up 62% over December 2007, and up 10% over the prior month.  New features such as Zillow Advice drove buyers and sellers seeking answers to real estate questions, and falling mortgage rates drove historically high quote levels in Zillow Mortgage Marketplace. 
• Zillow Advice: Zillow Advice is a new resource to help consumers find answers to specific local real estate questions. Located in the “Advice” tab, Zillow Advice encourages consumers to “Ask a Question,” tag it by topic or locality, and receive advice from Zillow’s online community of local real estate experts. For more information, check out the Advice landing page, press release and Zillow blog.
• Q3 Real Estate Market Reports: Home values decreased again in the third quarter, falling 9.7 percent nationwide and bringing values down by 12.8 percent since the market peaked in 2006. Additionally, one-third of homes sold in the past 12 months sold for a loss. For more information check out the press release and Zillow blog, or visit the Real Estate Market Reports page  where you will find national and local information, graphics, trends and statistics.
• Homeowner Confidence Survey: Half of U.S homeowners do not think their home’s value has decreased. In reality, nearly three-quarters of homes lost value in the past 12 months. To see the full survey results and graphics, visit the Homeowner Confidence Survey landing page, and check out the press release and blog post.
