What Zillow does

Leading US real estate listing website, connecting homebuyers, renters and agents through Zillow and Trulia.

Earns mostly from real-estate agents, who pay for buyer leads shown beside listings; many now pay a share of the commission when a deal closes instead of a flat fee. Rental listings, paid for by landlords and property managers, are the second line. It shut its home-buying business, Zillow Offers, in 2021 and returned to a pure marketplace.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
