NYTimes: Redfin, Trulia, Zillow Do Well Despite Downturn
This is the #1 most e-mailed Technology article today, although it's kind of a no-duh perspective.
Redfin helps people buy and sell their homes at a discount, offering a two percent rebate to buyers, so particularly when you aren't sure whether markets are going up or down, why not try to save yourself a few percentage points.
Zillow also gives people a certain level of comfort, helping them get some indication of what a home might be worth, without having a real estate agent do a competitive marketing analysis for them (after they sign a contract of course.) Sort of a real estate second opinion. Particularly if you are thinking about selling, you should watch your Zestimate like a hawk.
Trulia is a great search experience and comes across a little hipper than something like Realtor.com, which Gen Y users may not yet be aware of.
At the same time, we are coming into the peak buying and selling season on the east coast, so business and technology writers are going to be looking for stories in this volatile market.
