Apparently, many of our Dueling Digs players are drawn to the Pacific ocean, with 8 of the 10 most popular living spaces located on the west coast, many with ocean views.   But really, who can blame them?  Who wouldn’t want to sit and relax, perhaps read a good book, looking out at the water in your Honolulu, HI [...]

While poking around the cool Quarterly Home Value Report heat map and drilling in closer to the trends in Grand Rapids, Michigan, an interesting-looking home popped up in the little snapshot for Ada, MI (screenshot, above). It is the most popular home in Ada and come to find out, it’s for sale for $1.5 million. [...]

I love where I live today — a fabulous apartment on Queen Anne with the Space Needle watching me as I meander around my kitchen. I have a safe, undercover parking spot and can walk to anything and everything I need. And thus, moving is very far from my mind.
However, I do realize that [...]

California is a popular area this week, with 3 of the 5 top-viewed homes hailing from the Golden State. With the weather taking a turn for the worse in Seattle (the wind is currently causing our building to sway a bit from side-to-side) the idea of 70-degree weather is pretty appealing.
I could see myself [...]

This week’s lineup of top-viewed homes on Zillow were as disparate and unique as their locations; there was not a common thread among them and they all had their own individual looks. Which got me thinking about the architectural style of a home, and how this comes into play when deciding whether or not to [...]

Lots of addresses fill up the “most viewed homes per day” table that Zillow data analysts compile. It’s anyone’s guess as to why these homes attract clicks. Maybe it’s the home of a celebrity. Maybe it’s a fabulous home for sale. Or, maybe it’s a home that was turned into a brothel. No, really.
Last week, this home in New Rochelle [...]

With our fabulous intern Whitney on her way to Sienna, I have taken over writing the weekly Top Viewed For Sale Postings post.  It’s harder than it looks!  Makes me appreciate the creativity Whitney was able to muster.  So please, bear with me here.
Ever since I was able to grasp the concept of owning a [...]

Think quick. Who was the most popular kid in your high school and what made them so cool? Was it their stellar physique and magnetic personality, or were they the understated “friend to everyone” type you couldn’t help but adore?
For some “back to school” fun, lets assume homes are like high schoolers, making Top Viewed [...]

“Just livin’ the dream,” that’s how my five girlfriends and I felt after signing the lease on our college dream home—a 3,000 sq. ft. picturesque 1916 rental in the heart of the University District. We had grand visions of thematic seasonal parties, a hammock on the front porch, and chic home decor. That dream was shattered after our “welcome to [...]

Last week I received an email from a Zillow groupie desperate to learn the secret of getting on “the list.” Considering that only 5 homes in America earn the right to walk the red carpet of the Top Viewed For Sale homes each week, this is no easy task. Rather than suggesting you “buy a cooler house” (which [...]
