Funny – the same day techcrunch writes up zillow (again), they get hit with multiple FTC complaints.
“Zillow is placing the American dream of homeownership at risk for countless working families,” says John Taylor, NCRC President and CEO. “For a company that represents to consumers that they are the ‘Kelley Blue Book of Homes,’ this is a very dangerous situation. We call upon the FTC to intervene and ensure that Americans receive accurate appraisals and valuation information to protect the single most important investment of their lives: their home.”
“NCRC and its members are aware of a growing number of real estate and lending professionals who use the misinformation on Zillow.com to perpetrate fraud in our nation’s markets, often by targeting consumers in violation of Federal and State Fair Housing Laws.” continues Taylor. “During this time in our economy when the real estate market is changing and consumers are already at risk of being over extended due to the increased access to non- traditional loans, Zillow’s misinformation exacerbates the situation. Practices like theirs undermines the critical importance of valuation protections that benefit consumers and lenders alike, and guide the actions of all valuation professionals.”
It will be interesting to see what happens.

This has become an industry soap-opera. I am still a proponent of Zillow. It seems as the technology has legs, the data- well, that is a different story. But don’t all new technologies have growing pains? Zillow is a victim to it’s own adoption rate, nothing more.

It’s become such a ghost town I expect to see tumbleweed rolling down the
middle of the street. Therefore there ended up less people thinking
about purchasing homes. This financial bailout for
the big banks is adding to the ever-expanding federal budget deficit
of the United States which currently stands at around $17.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot
drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has
83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it
with someone!
