I'm in the market for a house now, and I use Zillow/Redfin every single day at the moment. I'm right there in the "I love this thing" state. I haven't purchased a home before, so it wasn't until now that I got to this point.
You're totally right that monetization is the next concern though.
- akrymski 12y agoIn UK they even refer to this as "Property Porn" - people actually spend surprising amount of time looking at homes, since it's their biggest purchase, and largest asset. This is one of the reasons Zillow's USP was "estimates" - yet another reason to come back weekly and check how your home changed in value.
- qq66 12y agoI guess the same could be true of travel planning, as well? Even though frequency of purchase is low (although not as low as a house), I can imagine the right kind of escapist travel planning site bringing back people every week to plan dream trips or vacations, however expensive or impractical.
