Zillow 2.0
This weekend's Chicago Tribune reported (here - registration may be required) on some exciting new changes to the Zillow website. You can now:
1. List your home for sale, either by owner or with the assistance of a realtor. If you are selling by owner, you can also consult the site's Real Estate Wiki; or
2. If you're not sure you want to sell but want to test the waters, set a "Make Me Move" price for your home (i.e. the price at which you would be willing to sell).
Buyers can also now perform searches of homes that are for sale or for which the owners have established a "Make Me Move" price.
Previous changes to the site allow owners to "claim" their home and create a more accurate estimate of its value by adding more accurate information about amenities and repairs.
Fun stuff, to be sure. But the question is, will sellers and buyers really come to Zillow to transact business?
