Zillow Offers Follow-Up
Susie asked for a Zillow Offers update, and yesterday they announced that the unwinding is going just fine. While the debacle did tank their stock price, they figured it would be a good time to buy more for themselves: SEATTLE, Dec. 2, 2021 - Zillow Group, Inc. today...
Zillow 2022 Local Pricing Forecast
Zillow has been vilified for many reasons, but the one thing they have going for them is the viewer data for each area. If their 2022 projections are based on the number of clicks on listings, then their forecast should be a reasonable reflection of the actual demand...

Zillow Offers Takes a Break (?)
Hat tip to GA for sending this in: Zillow Group Inc. is taking a break from buying U.S. homes after the online real estate giant’s pivot into tech-powered house-flipping hit a snag. Zillow, which acquired more than 3,800 homes in the second quarter, will stop pursuing...
San Diego Pricing Momentum
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Speaking of Zillow, they also said in this June article that San Diego home prices would rise 24.7% by May. How are we doing? There has never been a great measuring stick for home prices, but let's look at the most common ones:...
Zillow Forecast By Area
Here are the latest guesses from Zillow that they've sent me over the last month. They agree with me that next year will be rip-roaring! In parentheses are the percentage increases for the last year: NW Carlsbad 92008 (+28%) SE Carlsbad 92009 (+30%) NE Carlsbad 92010...
