Real estate valuation site Zillow has announced a partnership with Yahoo!, in which its home-valuation “zestimator” will show up in Yahoo! Search and data in Yahoo! Real Estate.
Brian Smith has written an extensive post at SEW and on his vertical search blog. Zillow, according to comScore, was the 9th most visited real estate site. In order they are: Move.com network (formerly Homestore) followed by MSN Real Estate (the biggest gainer), HomeGain, AOL Real Estate, RealtyTrac.com, Rent.com, ServiceMagic, Apartments.com and Zillow.com.
Zillow has shown surprising traction and success with consumers and advertisers, given that it has no home listings of its own. This additional distribution will further raise its profile. With $32 million raised from Benchmark Capital and Technology Crossover Ventures, the site will be looking for huge dollars from any potential suitor.
