Zillow is a real estate app that helps you search for homes, apartments, and rental properties across the United States. The Zillow app first launched back in 2009, and you can find it on both Google Play and the App Store. It has millions of downloads, well over 50 million installs on Android alone. The app is free to download, and you don't need to create an account just to browse listings. You only need to register if you want to save homes or contact an agent. There are no in-app purchases, but you will see ads from local agents and lenders while using it.

Using Zillow is pretty simple. You open the app, type in a city, ZIP code, or neighborhood, and it shows you homes for sale and rent on a map or in a list. You can filter by price, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and even things like whether pets are allowed. A good tip is to turn on notifications for new listings in your saved search, because good homes in hot markets go fast. Another tip: check the price history and tax records on each listing. Zillow pulls that data from public records, and it can tell you if a home is overpriced or if the seller has dropped the price before. Also, don't trust the Zestimate blindly. It's a computer estimate, and it can be off by a lot, especially in areas where few homes sell.

I have tried other apps like Realtor.com and Redfin. Redfin is great if you want to work with their own agents, and Realtor.com sometimes has fresher listings because it gets data straight from the MLS. But I keep coming back to Zillow because the interface is clean, the map search is smooth, and there are just more listings overall. Zillow also shows rental listings that other apps sometimes miss. For me, the biggest reason to choose Zillow is that it feels like a one-stop shop. I can look at homes, see what schools are nearby, check commute times, and read neighborhood reviews all in one place. It is not perfect, but it is the app I open first when I start house hunting.

Features

  • 🏠 The map search lets you draw a custom area and only see homes inside it. Redfin has a similar tool, but Zillow's version feels faster and smoother on my phone.
  • 💰 Every listing shows a full price history, including every time the home was listed, delisted, or had a price cut. Realtor.com shows some of this, but Zillow lays it out in a clean timeline.
  • 🛏️ The filters are very detailed. You can filter by things like "must have a garage" or "no HOA fees," which saves a lot of time compared to other apps.
  • 📊 The Zestimate gives you a quick value estimate for almost every home, even ones not for sale. Redfin has its own estimate too, but Zillow's is more widely known and easier to find.

Pros

  • ⭐ Zillow has more listings than Realtor.com or Redfin in most markets, so you are less likely to miss a home.
  • ⭐ The app is free and does not push you to sign up or talk to an agent right away, unlike some other apps.
  • ⭐ The neighborhood data, like schools, crime, and commute times, is easy to find and read at a glance.
  • ⭐ It works well for both buying and renting, while Redfin is more focused on buying.

Cons

  • ⚠️ The Zestimate can be way off, sometimes by tens of thousands of dollars. Redfin's estimate is often closer to the real market value.
  • ⚠️ Some listings are outdated or already sold, because Zillow relies on agents and feed providers to update them. Realtor.com tends to be fresher.
  • ⚠️ The app shows a lot of ads for agents and lenders, which can clutter the experience.
  • ⚠️ You cannot schedule a tour directly with the listing agent in every case, while Redfin lets you book tours instantly with their own agents.
