币界网报道:Zillow CEO Rich Barton defended the company's new listing rules amid a 50% stock surge this year, attributing growth to improved operational efficiency and agent partnerships. Speaking at a Goldman Sachs conference, Barton emphasized that recent policy changes aim to enhance data accuracy rather than restrict inventory, countering criticism that tightened requirements could limit home listings. The real estate platform's shares have climbed over 250% since 2022 lows as it benefits from AI-powered pricing tools and a stabilizing housing market. Analysts note Zillow's shift toward becoming a transaction-focused business model while maintaining its core advertising revenue streams.
