media: On CNBC discussing Obama's homeowner bailout plan
- 02/18/09 12:32 PM
You can watch the video here.
I was in Boston today, so the backdrop is of a Boston bridge at night. Great view from the studio you might say. But here's the dirty little secret of broadcast television: I was in a room with no windows, in front of a TV screen showing a live shot of that bridge. Ah, technology.

I was on CNBC today discussing home values and homeowner confidence. You can watch the video here.
I think you'll be glad to see that I tried to spread some GOOD news about housing for a change!

Was on Bloomberg television last week discussing home prices.
Of course, all real estate is local. So here's information on Los Angeles home prices, San Francisco home prices, Seattle home prices, and US home prices.

media: NPR interview with me
- 08/01/08 06:16 AM
Here is a half-hour radio interview with me that just posted online but won’t air on the radio until September. I did the interview a few months ago in New York. It will air on the XM/Sirius NPR station (though not on terrestrial NPR).
It's mostly about my Hotwire experience, but we also discuss real estate a bit. Towards the end, I give ActiveRain a nice plug.
It’s a very cool radio show – she interviews entrepreneurs for about 30 minutes. The host (Jess Harris) is a friend of mine from college. Mine is the last interview that she’s doing because … (1 comments)

media: Entertainment companies facing huge challenge from the Web
- 07/31/08 04:49 AM
Really interesting research report from Lehman Brothers about how the Internet is affecting the entertainment industry. In short, the analyst concludes that digital revenue won't make up for the decline in traditional revenue, so entertainment companies are in trouble. It sounds a lot like the challenge facing newspaper companies as they try to transform their businesses for a wired world.
From the report:
"We believe the feature film and TV content businesses are on the verge of structural changes that appear destined to impact the core revenue and profits of Entertainment business models. In our view, the structural shift created … (0 comments)

media: Radio interviews about housing prices
- 05/07/08 04:11 AM
I spent 6 hours today (from 3am until 9am my time!) doing radio interviews about house prices around the country – Columbus, Akron, Tampa, Pittsburgh, New York, Portland, Grand Rapids, Boston, Denver and several others. Here are some observations:
While nationwide homeprices are down 8% y-o-y, there are obviously huge variations by city. (Many of you have commented this on my previous post.) My interview with a Pittsburgh radio station was pretty upbeat – after all, they’re only down 2% and parts of the Pittsburgh area are actually still appreciating. Contrast that with the doom and gloom affecting Tampa (17% decline, … (7 comments)

media: Another offline publisher closes shop
- 11/06/07 04:36 AM
It is a common theme: declining circulation, reduced advertising revenue, job cuts and newspaper & magazine closures due to continued migration of readers' time and advertising budgets onto the Internet. Zillow is of course a beneficiary of this inevitable trend. Today there's news out of New York that a venerable publication from our own category has bitten the dust: Conde Naste is shuttering House and Garden and its website.
A sad day for print media, but another victory for the Internet.

media: Zillow Announces "Zillow Home Direct" Suite of Advertising Products
- 10/30/07 09:09 AM
A big day here at Zillow in terms of PR. First, I was quoted in the New York Times:
Nonetheless, Zillow, which estimates home values, last month obtained $30 million in its latest round of financing, bringing the total to $87 million for the site, which was started less than two years ago. And its traffic in the third quarter was 20 percent higher than in the period a year earlier, according to Spencer Rascoff, Zillow’s vice president for marketing and chief financial officer.
It has also begun posting home listings provided by brokerage firms. The first of these to participate is … (1 comments)
