Zillow Senior Vice President of Engineering Toby Roberts joins the GeekWire Podcast to discuss what AI is changing about buying and selling homes, from AI agents working alongside real estate agents to the company's integration with ChatGPT.
Zillow Group shares have fallen sharply toward 52-week lows, potentially putting the online real estate giant back on investors' radars.
Zillow is shifting to an integrated transaction platform, driving higher revenue per connection and improved monetization despite a challenging housing market. While this is dragging on revenue recognition at the moment, and there remains uncertainty about profits, I would argue the model is working. Looking past the weak housing market and concerns regarding jostling between competitors, Zillow's valuation appears far too low given the quality of the company.
