For those of you who use Zillow, expect your leads to be even more informed. I saw a press release and a nice chart of some of the prompts they will be creating for your leads. I will try and post the chart that they pushed out to me below in their press release.

Because Zillow brings together touring, affordability, financing, collaboration with agents and decision-making across tradeoffs throughout the transaction, Zillow AI mode can:

Feature / Capability Example Prompts a Shopper Might Ask

Compare options and highlight tradeoffs -"What tradeoffs should I consider when looking at this home?" or "Compare units in this building"

Estimate the cost ranges for repairs or upgrades using local data "How much would it cost to do a total renovation of this bathroom?"

Interpret listing events like price cuts in market context "I see a recent price cut. How might that impact my offer strategy?"

Explain affordability, including BuyAbility "Can I afford to buy this home?"

Scenario plan across renting and buying "Should I rent or buy in this location? I'm planning to stay for at least a year."

Provide neighborhood and local insights "Tell me how this home compares to others in the area and tell me what it's like to live in this neighborhood. Include nearby amenities, shops, and parks."

Summarize property policies and requirements "What is the pet policy for this rental?"

Schedule tours or apply directly within the experience "Can I book a tour for this home this weekend?" or "I'd like to apply for this rental"

Connect users with a trusted local agent or professional "Connect me with an agent to learn more about this home"

Explain and contextualize the Zestimate "How has this home's Zestimate changed over time?"

Analyze offer competitiveness based on comparable sales, market conditions, and property-specific factors "What would a fair offer be for this home?" or "I’m planning to put an offer in for this house with my agent for 500k with waived contingencies. Help me understand how competitive my offer is"

Explain how comparables, market conditions, and listing signals can impact a home’s list price "Why is this house listed at this price? Is it priced to sell quickly?" --50.96.xx.xxx

This could turn everybody and their brother into a real estate investor. Uploading photos of a property into an Ai app and get repair costs based on labor and material pricing per zip code is going to make it way too easy to analyze properties. The money in real estate will come from actually being capable of doing the work, in my opinion. --24.152.xxx.xx

How does Ai get labor pricing per zip code when it is a small area?

Asking because I honestly do not know how it could find those numbers when they are not listed in a database or some such for the actual area.

Just did a fast ask with Gemini and all the data was pulled from Indeed. I have never used that, nor do I know of anyone who has used that service in this area. --138.199.xx.xxx

I’m not saying that it does, but it definitely will. --174.240.xxx.xx

Zillow was messed up before, now it will really be messed up.

That said, a person should probably get creative with their ads, because AI will compare them in seconds.

Question of the day: tenants don't typically read ads, will they read all the AI responses and be able to keep track of it all? --73.19.xxx.xx

There have been several attempts to nationalize local contractors and labor over the past few years - "one phone call does it all" approaches. It can probably be done for the major trades (HVAC, Plumbing, Electricians and Painting, maybe?) if the client is willing to pay inflated prices. But really, it doesn't work for general maintenance and it's why people end up hiring local property management if they want to be truly hands-off. At a big price. --173.18.xx.xxx

Nationally - the average is three times the cost of materials for contractor labor for a generalist and four times for a specialist in accordance with bizstats dot com --50.96.xx.xxx
