They had unlimited data. Billions in funding. The best engineers money could buy.

And they still lost nearly a billion dollars of cash and $40 billion of market cap trying to flip houses using their own Zestimate.

Think about that: The company that tells YOU what your house is worth couldn't figure out what houses were worth when their own money was on the line.

Here's what actually happened: They'd make instant cash offers based on their algorithm.

Bought thousands of homes. Then reality hit.

The algorithm didn't account for foundation issues. Couldn't smell the mold. Didn't notice the neighbor's garage band. Couldn't feel that the neighborhood was shifting.

Meanwhile, local agents were watching them overpay by $30-50k per house and laughing.

The best part?

While Zillow was hemorrhaging money, they were still telling consumers to trust the Zestimate.

Still showing those "Your home is now worth..." notifications.

Still letting people make the biggest financial decision of their lives based on an algorithm that literally bankrupted their own house-flipping division.

Their own CEO quietly selling his Seattle mansion for 40% under its Zestimate wasn't just embarrassing.

It was him admitting what every agent already knows: Real estate is local, emotional, and human.

But millions still check their Zestimate daily like it's their horoscope.

You know who never lost $881 million buying houses?

Your local agent who's sold 200 homes in your zip code.

They know the builder who cut corners in 2003.

They know which streets flood.

They know the school rezoning coming next year.

But sure, trust the algorithm that couldn't even save itself.

Senate Committee Releases Affordable Housing Bill
Senate Committee Releases Affordable Housing Bill

Recently, the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs voted to advance the Renewing Opportunity in the American Dream to Housing (ROAD to Housing) Act of 2025 which aims to increase the supply of affordable housing.

According to its text, the ROAD to Housing Act of 2025 aims to boost the country's housing supply, improve affordability, expand access to home ownership, and to increase oversight of federal housing programs.

The Act is especially welcome, since numbers of affordable homes are still decreasing in many areas. As of June 2025, the median sale price reached $435,000—a record high for the month, according to NAR. Interest rates have also remained elevated, keeping sellers from listing their homes and potential buyers on the sidelines.1
