There are two American real estate websites worth knowing today: Zillow and Redfin. Zillow is a much bigger brand than Redfin in part because it has benefitted from the economy in recent years since it was a much bigger company when the economic downturn hit. Since the small cap stocks were hit in the downturn, it meant Zillow broke away from Redfin much more than people would have assumed was possible if we go back a few years. That said, I always preferred the single post pages on Zillow when I was browsing property prices. However. Redfin has nearly matched that today.
Redfin is the next Zillow. Redfin has a good CEO (Glenn Kelman) who is active on social media and regularly does TV appearances on CNBC regarding the company's stock, etc. I couldn't tell you who Zillow's CEO is. I don't have a problem with Zillow, but it's clear Redfin is going to catch it.
