Zillow’s AI mode allows real steps to be taken such as scheduling tours or connecting with a local agent, this is designed for anyone exploring housing. Whether you are just browsing or comparing between apartments, buyers can explore financing, and sellers can plan their next move.
The AI platform adapts to activity over time, remembering preferences across sessions and providing context-aware guidance using Zillow’s data, expertise and custom AI models. Over time, this experience will become important to how people move through the real estate journey on Zillow.
“We’re connecting the entire housing journey with AI in a way that hasn’t been possible before. Because Zillow operates across search, touring, financing, connections to professionals, transacting and closing, we can turn insight and data into real-world action, helping people move from discovery to keys in hand.”
Jeremy Wacksman, CEO, Zillow
Zillow AI mode helps people understand homes, explore affordability questions, compare options and book a tour directly within the experience. In early testing Zillow provides insights on affordability, neighbourhood and comparing homes with specific features, allowing people to make informed decisions over what they can afford, and whether they want to live. The platform shift is currently available to a limited group of Zillow users. Zillow plans to expand this in 2026.
“For years, navigating a move has meant piecing together information across tools, conversations and steps. Zillow AI mode transforms that into something far more useful: an experience that understands what people need and helps them take action. We’ve spent years building the data, infrastructure and models to power this shift.
“Buying or renting a home is one of the biggest financial decisions most people make. This AI brings clarity to one of life’s most complex decisions, helping people understand what they can afford, what matters in a home, and even challenge and explore the Zestimate in real-time.”
Josh Weisberg, Senior Vice President of AI, Zillow
