Zillow Research Collaboration Program

Zillow has worked with a plethora of institutions, providing housing market data for financial, economic, and other research purposes. The Zillow Research Collaboration Program has been created to enable prospective collaborators to learn more about the data assets Zillow has to offer and readily access the data they need. Generally, our collaboration program is intended for academic use, but other parties are invited to contact Zillow for research or data needs.
