What Will Zillow Do Now?

On April 7, 2015, Listhub will cut the listing feed to Zillow.

Zillow will have to create alternate revenue streams.

I heard:

  1. Get MLSs and brokers to give them listing feeds. They already have Metro Regional Information Systems.
  2. Get listing referrals. Charge 30-40% referral fees.
  3. Become a FSBO site. 
  4. Bought by Warren Buffett to supplement Berkshire Hathaway Home Services.
  5. Figure out how to attract brokers directly. They might start paying brokers.
  6. Fade away. Zillow stock is down big.

I'm eager to find out what happens. Zillow has a lot of money and they're a pretty resourceful bunch.

Nevertheless, I'm starting to pay more attention to my realtor.com/org accounts.
