About Zillow Research
Our Research Principles
- Zillow Research provides unbiased data and analysis about the housing market in a transparent way. Whenever possible, the team makes code and underlying data available so work can be replicated independently. Methodology is always clearly explained.
- Zillow Research is independent of Zillow’s business goals, and is not a revenue center.
- Zillow Research is open about how data sources and data quality impact research, and is transparent about potential issues with data used.
- Zillow Research benchmarks findings against outside datasets whenever possible to ensure accuracy and appropriate context.
- Zillow Research respects the integrity of data and uses it honestly, and never manipulates data to create a desired result. We are data- and fact-driven.
