Zillow Group, Inc. ZG

Company Overview

Zillow Group, Inc. is a U.S.-based real estate technology company that operates online platforms designed to help consumers buy, sell, rent, and finance homes. The company operates primarily within the residential real estate and digital marketplace industries, monetizing its platforms through advertising, lead generation, and transaction-related services. Zillow’s core value proposition is providing comprehensive housing data, search tools, and digital workflows that connect consumers with real estate professionals, landlords, and service providers.

The company was founded in 2004 and became publicly traded in 2011. Initially focused on publishing home value estimates through its proprietary Zestimate algorithm, Zillow expanded through organic product development and acquisitions to build a broader housing “super app” ecosystem. Over time, the company shifted away from capital-intensive home-flipping activities and refocused on being an asset-light marketplace that supports real estate transactions without directly owning homes.
