Zillow says users of its AI-powered residential real-estate search feature will be able reference additional criteria when searching for homes using natural language, including commute time, schools, nearby points of interest, and affordability.
It’s part of a broader competition among major real estate portals to roll out new artificial intelligence capabilities. Others including Redfin and Realtor.com have introduced a variety of AI features of their own over the past couple of years, including AI assistants and other capabilities in addition to search tools.
With its latest update, the company says people searching for homes on its portal will have additional options. Examples cited by the company include commute time (“Homes 30 min drive from Millennium Park”), points of interest (“Apartments near Denver Union Station”), and schools (“3-bedroom houses near Roosevelt High School.”)
Zillow released the first version of its AI home search in January 2023.
Rich Barton, the Zillow Group co-founder and co-executive chair, said in a recent interview with GeekWire that Zillow and other major residential real estate portals haven’t yet found a “magic bullet” in their AI features for users.
“We haven’t really seen anything really break through there yet, but I’m 100% certain we will,” Barton said, as part of a larger discussion with new Zillow Group CEO Jeremy Wacksman, who succeeded Barton in the role.
