Redfin vs. Zillow

They find home values using the price per sq ft rule. That's messing up the housing market home valuation models.

I used Zillow for the longest time and it worked okay. But then I started using Redfin and I like it much better. They are both very similar, but Redfin allows you to see the flood map across the whole property, which is important for me when considering spacial use of the property

It is very useable, I’ll give it that. Zillow has done a good job or making a clean and simple interface. They make it very easy to get in contact with an agent. Maybe a little too easy because they put you on a list and follow up multiple times

They're both doing the same thing to us, REALTORS! THEY'RE TRYING TO ELIMINATE A REALTOR FROM BEING NEEDED IN A TRANSACTION!

I like Redfin better because it shows a flood map of the property. But I think Zillow does a better job of managing saved searches and favorite properties. Redfin also sends me a bunch of emails whereas Zillow sends less emails. But overall, they are very similar so it might just come down to personal preferences
