Trulia Purchased By Rival Zillow

By Abu Dawood


The website Zillow bought its rival Trulia for $3.5 Billion in stock. This will change the way you can search for real estate on the internet. It will change how things are done. Before, if you were searching for real estate you would probably find a listing on both sites. You would find different information on each one. You would compare them. Now that they will be owned by the same company, things will be different.



However, Zillow doesn't plan to eliminate or absorb Trulia. They intend to continue on with Trulia as it was before. Both sites will contain their current design, and many of Trulia's employees will retain their position. Why isn't Zillow opting to merge the two sites? Apparently, the amount of visitors who go to both sites is small. Each site attracts its own audience, and Zillow doesn't want to risk alienating the Trulia audience. Instead, they want to profit off the customers they were once unable to track.

Both Zillow and Trulia have been prominent helping consumers find a value for their homes based on comparisons in local markets, as well as listing their homes. The two companies have some market overlap, but essentially cover two separate markets.

A lot of people use sites like Zillow to figure out how much property costs and which properties are for sale. It is an easy way to look things up. You can go to the website or you can use the app. If you are looking for a house to buy you will use it to get an idea about a home or even the neighborhood you want to move in to. It is a great way to keep tabs on the houses and see what they are doing. It gives you a little more information than a regular real estate site would.

For now, Zillow's primary plan is to cut costs and save money. However, it's likely they'll make even more big deals in the future. It'll be interesting to see what's in store for this real estate company. They now have a very unique place in the real estate world.

Data shows that each site has its own audience, and the overlap between the two is quite limited. Zillow believes it's more valuable to maintain these two distinct brands. This will allow customers to continue to use the popular Trulia app, and will allow everyone to have the real estate searching experience they prefer. This move is part of a wider plan for Zillow to become an owner of a variety of real estate companies. Zillow has also acquired a New York City real estate site, and plans to buy additional sites and companies in the future. They desire to build a portfolio of distinct properties.
