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... Everything Else.

Yes, that's right, Zillow has a LOT more than just home valuations. What else?

• About 4 million listings of homes for sale (3,952,453 to be exact). That's basically every listing in the USA. (NAR reports around 4 million homes for sale, and NAR's website Realtor.com says they have 4 million listings.)
• Zillow Mortgage Marketplace. This is the best part of Zillow that the fewest people know about. Here's a 2 minute video on Zillow Mortgage Marketplace and here's Sara Bonert's take on ZMM from an agent's perspective.
• Zillow Advice. This is an online discussion forum where buyers, sellers, homeowners, agents and lenders discussing real estate issues. It's a terrific place for agents to find business, for free.
  
• iPhone Application. Zillow has by far the #1 real estate application on the iPhone, with around 750,000 downloads. It's an incredible tool, and a must-have app for any iPhone owner.
• Housing Data on our "Local Info" pages. Just click on the "Local Info" tab and go nuts. There's a TON of housing data to check out, and all of it is embeddable into blog posts. Just click "embed" in the upper right of a graph and you have a great graphic for a blog post.
  
• Widgets. We offer enough free real estate widgets to create a terrific website, everything from eye candy (e.g., the most expensive homes in a neighborhood) to quizzes (e.g., do you qualify for a loan mod?) to hard core data (e.g., regional real estate statistics).
  
• Blogs: Zillow runs ZillowBlog (an entertaining blog dedicated to real estate issues, with a healthy dose of celebrity real estate porn) and Mortgages Unzipped (a multi-author blog by serious mortgage industry heavyweights).
  
• Dueling Digs. This is an entertaining way to browse through photos of beautiful homes, and a great way to gain inspiration for a remodel.

As you can see, Zillow is about much more than just home valuations. We work hard every day to come up with innovative features that delight our consumers and our real estate & mortgage industry partners. Don't pigeon-hold us into thinking we're just about [you know what].
