See you at T3!

Looking forward to seeing many of you at the T3 Summit this week. Looks like Stefan and company have put together another great event.

Katie and I arrive on Wednesday afternoon. Rob Hahn and I will be doing live recordings of our podcast “Industry Relations” so I hope to include a few of you in those conversations as well.

And remember what Tio Greg says, “Never go big on the first night!”

Zillow launches new RealEstate.com

Zillow Group Launches RealEstate.com, Gives First-Time Home Buyers New Way to Search for HomesAllows buyers to search by “All-In Monthly Price” to get a fuller picture of cost of homeownership

” “RealEstate.com is designed to equip the next generation of home buyers to find a home that suits their needs and budget,” said Jeremy Wacksman, CMO at Zillow Group. “We know from our research that affordability is a huge driver for home buyers, and that first-time buyers are more likely to go over budget. By tailoring the home search experience on RealEstate.com around a home’s monthly cost, we hope to make the home buying experience less daunting and even more transparent for first-time buyers.”

Some initial thoughts…

Andrea at Inman News reported that this might be something they were looking at doing. The ideas aren’t that new. John Holley of NTREIS had a similar idea I posted about a few years ago. And of course there’s Krishna at TLCengine who took it all to a next level.

A few quibbles.

1. What’s up with the white board explainer video? What is this 2006?

2. Cats? Seriously


It’s all about execution. I haven’t had time to dive in to the site yet, Teke at Inman News has a good breakdown of the site and its new features. All in all it does have some very interesting aspects to it.
