			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google <a href="http://officialandroid.blogspot.com/2013/02/new-google-now-more-of-information-you.html">announced</a> on Wednesday that it has added some new features to Google Now with a new update. </p>
<p>For Movie cards, Google Now will now include ratings from Rotten Tomatoes, and let you purchase tickets through Fandango (a feature that was recently <a href="http://www.webpronews.com/new-ios-6-1-adds-fandango-movie-purchasing-to-siris-capabilities-2013-01">added to Apple&#8217;s Siri</a>).

<p>Google has also partnered with Zillow to provide nearby real estate listings. It will also pull up more info about a particular listing while you&#8217;re visiting the property. </p>
<p><center><img src="http://cdn.ientry.com/sites/webpronews/pictures/google-now-zillow.jpg" alt="Google Now Real Estate info" /></center></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Online real estate marketplace Zillow officially launched in 2006, and in the past six years has grown to include data on over 100 million houses across the U.S.  In 2011, the company went public with a $20 per share IPO, and they currently have apps for iOS, Android, and Blackberry.</p>
<p>But one thing Zillow has never done is air a television ad.  Today, that changes.</p>
<p>Today at Zillow we are very excited to launch our first-ever TV commercial, titled &#8216;Find Your Way Home,&#8217;&#8221; saus Zillow <a href="http://www.zillow.com/blog/2012-09-17/introducing-zillows-first-tv-ad-2/#comments">in a blog post</a>.  &#8220;It’s airing nationwide this fall on channels such as HGTV, CNN, ABC Family and Travel Channel.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re not just looking for a house.  You&#8217;re looking for a place for your life to happen,&#8221; says the ad.  Check it out below:</p>
<p><iframe width="616" height="347" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pzUNl_wPtgM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Earlier this year, Zillow and Yahoo <a href="http://www.zillow.com/blog/2012-04-03/zillow-and-yahoo-extend-advertising-partnership/?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ZillowBlog+%28Zillow+Blog%29">renewed an advertising partnership</a> that was first inked out in 2011.  In July, Zillow and Yahoo <a href="http://www.webpronews.com/yahoo-homes-partners-with-zillow-for-content-listing-2012-07">expanded that partnership</a> to integrate into Yahoo Homes rental listings.  </p>
<p>Just last week, we learned that <a href="http://thenextweb.com/insider/2012/09/13/oh-snap-zillow-sues-online-real-estate-rival-trulia-patent-court-docs/">Zillow is suing rival Trulia for patent infringement</a>.  They claim that Trulia&#8217;s &#8220;Trulia Estimates&#8221; product is a copycat of their older &#8220;Zestimates&#8221; feature.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Zillow and Yahoo have had a partnership for awhile. Zillow has been handling their Homes for sale listings, but now the companies are expanding that relationship to include rental properties as well. </p>
<p><a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/zillow-yahoo-expand-relationship-zillow-130000588.html">This latest deal makes Zillow the exclusive provider of Yahoo Homes rental and for sale properties</a>. It&#8217;s a powerful relationship giving way to 25 million visitors who can view nearly 400,000 listings.</p>
<p>Not only will Yahoo Homes visitors be able to view <a href="http://www.zillow.com/">Zillow&#8217;s content</a>, but they will also gain access to valuable tools like Rent Zestimate, which were previously only available for Zillow users. </p>
<p><strong>Brandon Huff, Vice President of Yahoo Commerce comments on their new partnership with Zillow:</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Zillow is an important provider for Yahoo! Homes, and we are excited to expand our footprint to include rental offerings,&#8221;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Providing our consumers with unique content and diverse real estate and rental listings is a top priority for Yahoo! Homes.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff comments on the new deal with Yahoo Homes:</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Zillow is now able to give landlords, property managers and rental brokers significantly more exposure for their listings by extending their reach to one of the largest audiences of renters online,&#8221; </em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;This is yet another example of how we are continually offering new ways to help real estate professionals grow their business.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Partnerships between Zillow and Yahoo date back as far as 2006. Last year they launched the Yahoo-Zillow Real Estate Network together and began selling local advertising across both platforms. Also noteworthy, Zillow just acquired RentJuice, which provides powerful property management tools for landlords, and property managers. </p>
<p>Now, when you list on Zillow, you also get exposure on Yahoo Homes. Zillow alone reaches well over 33 million unique visitors on mobile and web. Combine that with Yahoo Home&#8217;s 25 million, and you have the most powerful real estate network available. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While we&#8217;re all well aware that Facebook&#8217;s IPO has gone less-than-swimmingly for most everyone involved, there could be one metric where the Facebook&#8217;s foray into the public has had a upward trending effect.  </p>
<p>Online real-estate company <a href="http://www.zillow.com/blog/2012-06-07/millionaires-row-how-did-facebooks-ipo-affect-silicon-valley-real-estate/">Zillow looked at the data</a> and found that the Silicon Valley housing market is hot &#8211; really hot.  They looked at the median home values in Menlo Park as well as other areas surrounding it like Palo Alto, Los Altos Hills, and Woodside.  They discovered that Silicon Valley home values are not only up to 15x the median home value around the country, but there has been significant movement that ocrrresponds with the Facebook IPO</p>
<p>Not only that, but in the roughly three-month window between Facebook filing for the IPO and the actual IPO, million-dollar house listings in Menlo Park began to take a larger chunk out of the entire pool &#8211; 87% more.  </p>
<p>To put the Silicon Valley housing uptake in perspective, Zillow points out that you could buy roughly 24 homes in Detroit with $1 million.  In Menlo Park, $1 million will buy you one 1500 square foot home.  </p>
<p>Check out the full infographic below:</p>

The plan was to have the deal complete by early July, but today Zillow announced that the acquisition is complete.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in early May, <a href="http://www.webpronews.com/zillow-to-acquire-rentjuice-rental-services-2012-05">Zillow announced plans to acquire software solutions provider, RentJuice into its real estate business</a>. The plan was to have the deal complete by early July, but today Zillow announced that<a href="http://investors.zillow.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=679137"> the acquisition is complete.</a></p>
<p>The deal was negotiated by a third party and cost Zilllow about $40 million in cash. RentJuice brings with it custom designed software solution designed specifically for landlords, rental brokers, and property managers. Last Fall, Zillow also acquired Diverse Solutions, a company dedicated to developing real estate websites and improving marketing efforts. </p>
<p><strong>Spencer Rascoff (pictured above), Zillow CEO <a href="http://investors.zillow.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=679137">comments</a> on the RentJuice acquisition:</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;We see a huge market opportunity in rentals. More than seventy percent of movers each year are renters and rental units turn over six times as frequently as homes for sale, yet the professional market is highly fragmented,&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;RentJuice&#8217;s marketing and productivity tools are an incredible resource for rental professionals and this acquisition is a valuable accelerant in building Zillow&#8217;s own rental marketplace. We are incredibly excited to officially welcome the entire RentJuice team to Zillow.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>RentJuice founder and CEO David Vivero will now serve as vice president of rentals at Zillow. He will be reporting directly to Spencer Rascoff, and is excited to be part of the Zillow real estate team.</p>
<p><strong>David Vivero comments on his addition to the Zillow team:</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Zillow is the unrivaled category leader and we&#8217;re excited to become part of the team that&#8217;s recognized as pioneering technology and innovation across the entire real estate industry,&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Zillow&#8217;s newest marketplace is called Rentals and it carries 93 million renters at over 43 million rental locations. <a href="http://www.zillow.com/">Zillow</a> receives over 30 million unique visitors to their various sites every month. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Zilllow announced today that they have entered into an agreement to acquire <a href="http://info.rentjuice.com/JuicePress-rental-websites.html?utm_source=AdWords&#038;utm_term=%2Brentjuice">RentJuice Corporation</a>. RentJuice offers software solutions to landlords, property managers, and rental brokers. The deal gives Zillow users better, more professional tools for engaging the renters market.<a href="http://www.zillow.com/"> Zillow is already a leader in the rental search market</a> and receives about 5 million hits each month. </p>
<p><strong>Spencer Rascoff, Zillow CEO comments on the addition of RentJuice:</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Zillow has spent the last six years building robust marketplaces for real estate and mortgages, and we are in the midst of growing our rental marketplace, which has tremendous potential,&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;The acquisition of RentJuice, with its talented team and innovative solutions for rental professionals, propels Zillow&#8217;s rental marketplace ahead by years. We are very excited to welcome the RentJuice team into Zillow.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The deal will cost Zillow about $40 million in cash and of course, is should be closing before the end of the second quarter of 2012. RentJuice has been around since 2009 and currently has about 30 employees. </p>
<p><strong>RentJuice CEO David Vivero comments on joining Zillow:</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;At RentJuice, we are passionate about improving the way the rental market does business, and making the lives of rental professionals easier,&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Becoming a part of Zillow will allow us to invest more and innovate faster on behalf of the leasing professionals we support.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The deal sounds like it will be beneficial to both companies. As I said before the deal should be closed by the beginning of July this year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Online Real Estate giant Zillow announced that it has acquired Postlets for an undisclosed sum. </p>
<p>&#8220;Real estate professionals love Postlets because you create a property listing just once, and Postlets automatically distributes it across the Web,&#8221; <a href="http://www.zillow.com/blog/2011-04-11/zillow-acquires-postlets/">said Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff on the Zillow Blog</a>. &#8220;Plus, when you create an account on Postlets, you get a personalized landing page so you can showcase all of your &#8216;Postlets&#8217; in one place. You can then customize your personal gallery with a company logo and an &#8216;about me&#8217; page where you can describe your services and upload a personal photo to help you gain even more exposure. And it&#8217;s free.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Zillow, Postlets already has over 500,000 registered users with 350,000 sales/rental listings. </p>
<p>&#8220;Our goal over the past several years has been to develop simple yet innovative products that redefine real estate marketing and search,&#8221; <a href="http://blog.postlets.com/?p=487">the Postlets team said on its blog</a>. &#8220;This deal represents a fantastic opportunity to work with some of the most amazing people in the industry and build all of the things we said we would — and much, much more. We&#8217;re extremely excited that Zillow shares our vision and is committed to invest in Postlets to deliver tools that will further help you build your business.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Ask anyone in the industry, and they&#8217;ll tell you that Postlets is a great tool for agents, property managers and landlords looking to promote their listings and manage their online presence, for free,&#8221; said Rascoff. &#8220;As part of this acquisition, Postlets will continue to send listings to its current distribution partners.&#8221;</p>
<p>Zillow&#8217;s own traffic has been on the steady increase over the past year, having nearly doubled according to Compete&#8217;s numbers. </p>

<p>Postlets says it will reveal more details about what the acquisition means for the company and users in the coming weeks, but promises that it will continue to operate the same. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Real estate website Zillow said today it has launched a free app for Reasearch in Motion&#8217;s BlackBerry smartphones. </p>
<p> Zillow said the addition of the BlackBerry app, along with its existing apps for Android, iPhone, and iPad, means more than 90 percent of smartphone users can now access real estate information on more than 100 million properties.<br />
<center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CTtU-ohN8JQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center><br />
The location-based <a href="http://www.zillow.com/blackberry/">Zillow BlackBerry App</a> uses GPS technology to find and follow users on an aerial map, and displays Zestimate home valuations, homes for sale, homes for rent, Rent Zestimates, Make Me Move listings and recently sold data on the homes around them. Additional features on the Zillow BlackBerry App include: </p>
<p>*Multiple search filters that include price, number of bedrooms and bathrooms and other  home-related information. </p>
<p>*Homes viewable on a map with high-resolution satellite and street view. </p>
<p>*Home search by location or by typing in a city, ZIP code or address. </p>
<p>*Full-screen color photos of homes. </p>
<p>“With this launch, real estate agents will also have access to the app used by so many of their clients,” said Spencer Rascoff, chief executive officer of <a href="http://www.zillow.com/blog/">Zillow</a>.  </p>
<p>“Fifty-nine percent of agents tells us they use their smartphone to preview for-sale and for-rent properties with clients on the go.  Among real estate agents, the BlackBerry (36%) and iPhone (22%) are the top two smartphone brands.”</p>

<p><img border="0" align="right" style="margin: 6px;" src="http://images.ientrymail.com/webpronews/article_pics/Yahoo-Zillow.jpg" alt="Yahoo-Zillow" title="Yahoo-Zillow" />  Real estate agents will be able to advertise locally on Yahoo Real Estate, and home buyers will have more access to listings on the site along with more photos. </p>
<p>&quot;This partnership brings together the scale of Yahoo&#8217;s audience with the depth of<a title="yahoo zillow" href="http://www.zillow.com/blog/"> Zillow&#8217;s</a> real estate listings,&quot; Greg Hintz, head of Yahoo Listings, said. </p>
<p>&quot;No other real estate websites are better suited to bring such a vast offering to agents, brokers and advertisers. </p>
<p>The Yahoo and Zillow relationship began in 2006 when <a title="yahoo zillow" href="http://realestate.yahoo.com/Kentucky/Louisville">Yahoo Real Estate</a> incorporated Zillow&#8217;s Zestimate home valuations.<br />
