New Zillow Widget: When Will Real Estate Market Hit the Bottom?
By: Ajay Mehta, Zillow Business Development Intern | July 15, 2009
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, everyone knows that market conditions have been rough over the past year as the U.S. and much of the world attempts to recover from a recession.
Home values have dropped across the nation and mortgage rates are still in the low 5’s, so this is a prime opportunity to poll visitors to your blog or Web site on how they feel about the future.
By adding the new Zillow Market Bottom Poll widget, you can ask the question that’s on everyone’s minds:
“When will the real estate market hit the bottom?”
Install Market Bottom Poll widget on your site and you’ll find out.
This is just one of many Zillow Widgets that also offers free co-branding. So, if a user follows through to our site, your name, contact information and photo stays at the top of the screen.
All poll results are shared across all installations, and the results are updated dynamically.
Here are three of our latest widgets:
- Single-home value estimate
- Real estate market bottom poll
- Do you qualify for the $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit?
Give us feedback on Zillow Widgets for Web sites section and tell us what you like or don’t like, or give us ideas for new widgets that you would want on your site.

If you are going to have information on my home, I would appreciate it if you would make sure your information is correct. I am trying to sell my home and you are hurting me. I’ve had 3 people now who were interested in seeing my home, until they saw your site with all the wrong information.
What can we do about this, and what say do homeowners have about your site?

Andi,
If your home is listed for sale on Zillow, that data will replace any potentially incorrect data in the public records we have received about the property. Is it?

“Wisdom of the Masses” is cute, but there really isn’t one real estate market. There wasn’t one simulataneous peak and there certainly won’t be one simultaneous recovery. Please throw this app in the garbage where it belongs.

As we all know that real estate industry is in not a very healthy industry like most of the industries. I think it will still go downwards in next 2 years.

How low will real estate go? Where is the bottom? It will go to where the market says it is reasonably priced. With the looming amount of pending foreclosures and inventory overhang, it is safe to say prices will remain in their current downward spiral for some time.

Why are you excluding low current sales amounts from your zestimates? Just because you may feel they are too low for the market doesnt mean they didnt actually happen, nor does it mean they they wont continue to happen. I understand why a sales price from 15-20 years ago might be excluded but one from 2 months ago ought to be.
