Zillow Now Powers Leading Chinese Real Estate Platform, Leju

Today we are excited to announce that Zillow is now powering the U.S. real estate search for Leju Holdings Limited, a leading real estate services company in China. As one of China’s leading home-search sites, this partnership brings listings—and real estate agents who advertise on Zillow—in front of vast amounts of Chinese home buyers interested in U.S. properties.

Chinese home shoppers who search for U.S. homes on Leju’s platforms now have access to Zillow’s robust home search experience, rich data on homes, millions of for-sale listings, and unique pre-market inventory, through a co-branded Zillow®-Leju site.

Agents and brokers whose listings appear on Zillow will also automatically appear on the co-branded site, with no additional effort or cost.

According to the National Association of Realtors 2014 Profile of International Home Buyers, Chinese buyers are the largest population of foreign buyers of U.S. homes. Chinese buyers spent $22 billion in the U.S. last year, purchasing at a median value of approximately $523,148, with 76 percent of purchases reported as all-cash purchases.

Tapping into this exploding market presents a great opportunity for not only home sellers, but real estate agents and brokers as well.

We are excited to offer this opportunity to the thousands of brokers and agents who choose to market their listings on Zillow, and we welcome Leju and their visitors to the Zillow family.
