zillow: List-to-sale price ratios - 10/13/09 01:39 PM
One way to gauge the strength of a local real estate market is to look at the variance between the last listing price and the final sale price. Remember the good old days when homes actually sold for MORE than asking price? Ah, memories.

zillow: Everything else - 10/06/09 12:19 PM
Zillow gets more than its share of attacks from people dissatisfied with Zestimates, and I spend more time than I'd like discussing Zestimates. So this time we're going to try something different -- for the entire rest of this post, I won't use that word at all. This post is about... … (6 comments)

zillow: Zestimates: they're just a starting point - 10/01/09 12:38 PM
This morning, I received an email from the head of marketing at a very large real estate company who is a listing partner of Zillow's. He asked me if I had a canned response to agents asking about Zestimate accuracy. Here's the email that I sent him:

zillow: What caused the housing bubble? We bought big houses because we thought we'd be rich down the road... - 07/15/09 05:49 PM
Plenty of ink has been spilled (or in the digital world, I should say "plenty of keystrokes have been typed") explaining the run-up in home values over the last decade. Almost all of those explanations have emphasized the role of irrational buyers, speculators, and easy credit. Now James Kahn, an Economics … (4 comments)
