  • Zillow Introduces the Zillow Android App

    Good news, all you Android users….we just rolled out the Zillow Android App!

    We heard from many of you that you’d like to be able to access Zillow’s rich real estate info (we have data on 95 million U.S. homes) on-the-go from your Android device, and today we’ve responded with the launch of the free Zillow Android App. With our app, you can view Zestimate® home values, homes for sale, homes for rent, recently sold homes, and more.

    You can search for any home using Android’s voice search feature in which you simply say an address,  neighborhood or city and the app will instantly take you there. You can also check out homes as you walk or drive through a neighborhood with the built-in GPS technology. When you see a home you’re interested in, just click through to see photos, home details and contact info. And unique to the Android, you can view homes curbside with Google Street View. We think it’s pretty useful.

    Give it a try: Go to the Zillow Android App page and watch a video, read about the features, and download it — for free!

  • Zillow Updates iPhone App to Include Share on Facebook and Twitter, Homes For Rent


    The response to the Zillow iPhone App, launched in April 2009, has been incredible (#1 real estate app on the iPhone, nearly ONE MILLION downloads!) and the smartphoniacs and real estate aficionados at Zillow are proud to announce our latest version.

    New to the App: you can now find homes for rent alongside homes for sale, recently-sold homes, Make Me Move listings and other data on more than 93 million U.S. homes.  Home shoppers can find these listings whether using the app’s on-the-go GPS features — showing you information on all homes around you as you walk or drive through neighborhoods – or while searching neighborhoods and homes from afar.  Unique to Zillow, you can also now set your search filters by home price or monthly payment, and simultaneously find homes for sale and homes for rent within a price range you can afford.

    And when you find that home or apartment you love…?  Share it!  This latest version of the Zillow iPhone App includes the ability to easily share listings and home photos with your friends, family, real estate agent or social networks via  Facebook and Twitter. Additionally, you can still email information on any home.

    If you don’t yet have the Zillow iPhone app, download it for free from Apple’s App Store or just search for “zillow” in the App store.
