Is Zillow Headed for Trouble?

Paul Kedrosky seems to think so.

I wonder what he thinks about Trulia’s future? While Zillow’s traffic seems to stagnating, Trulia’s appears to be rising steadily.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Trulia has only raised $18 million to date, while Zillow is up to $87 million in funding.

One last little tidbit… we ask almost everyone we talk to, “What online tools are you using in your homesearch?” I’d estimate that less than 10% have even heard of Trulia or Zillow. I wonder if Scripps approach with FrontDoor will have any better luck in getting their message out. (For more on Scripps’ strategy, check out Joel’s recent write up)

    Interesting I am off to look at what Paul Kedrosky has to say about Zillow… I think people are still intrigued by the Zestimates but I don’t think it is a credible way to search for property in my market.
