Zillow Group, Inc. which is transforming the way people buy, sell and finance homes, is now buying homes in six additional markets, bringing the total to 15.<\/p>\n
Starting today, homeowners in Atlanta<\/span>, Dallas<\/span>, San Antonio<\/span>, Austin, Texas<\/span>, San Diego<\/span> and Sacramento, Calif.<\/span> can sell their homes directly to Zillow once again in a convenient, seamless transaction through Zillow Offers. Zillow paused buying homes in the 24 markets where Zillow Offers operates on March 23<\/span> in response to housing market uncertainty and public health concerns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n “Our goal at Zillow is to help people navigate what can be a stressful and complex process, and with Zillow Offers, give them a way to skip over a lot of the hassles and challenges of selling a home today,” said Zillow President Jeremy Wacksman<\/span>. “People still want – and need to – move. With new digital tools and health protocols, Zillow Offers can help people safely unlock the next stage of their lives with greater certainty, control and convenience.”<\/p>\n Recent Zillow data shows that real estate is resilient and steadily recovering from the disruption caused by COVID-19. While the housing market saw buying and selling slow significantly in March and early April during the early days of the pandemic and local stay-at-home orders, it has since begun to pick back up. New for-sale listings are up 19.3% month over month. Similarly, buyers have ramped up in the past few weeks, with newly pending sales up 24.5% over the past month1<\/sup>. Traffic to for-sale listings on Zillow is up 51% from a year ago2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n As part of the resumption of home-buying through Zillow Offers, Zillow launched a new initiative, called “Move Forward. Stay Safe.” With guidance from former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Regina Benjamin<\/span> as Zillow’s new Health Advisor, this industry-leading initiative provides guidelines to keep employees, customers and partners safe whether they are buying, selling or renting a home.<\/p>\n Selling through Zillow Offers gives homeowners a way to sell with limited in-person interactions, along with the option to close virtually on the date of their choosing. In a traditional sale, the typical home seller has to leave their home more than three times for showings or open houses3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Buyers who are interested in Zillow-owned homes have the option to use virtual tools to help them tour homes safely through the Zillow app or website. All Zillow-owned homes feature proprietary 3D Home tours, and buyers can also schedule a live virtual tour with an agent or an in-person showing. Zillow-owned homes follow a “Clean, Protect, Distance” protocol to ensure a safer environment for customers and partners during in-person tours. <\/p>\n About Zillow Group<\/strong><\/p>\n Zillow Group, Inc. the largest portfolio of real estate brands on mobile and the web, is building a safe, on-demand real estate experience.
