No doubt Zillow’s data must be fascinating and deep and extensive.
In general, I’m curious about how an individual could use this type of data to their own benefit—to “game the system,” as it were, by surfacing / finding “outliers”, by which I mean properties that are renting / selling far below their “market-calibrated” price.
Then again, I guess developing that into a product is (ostensibly) the entire job of an analytics PM somewhere like Zillow...
Still, we (collectively) are close to it being straightforward to scrape this data, train a model, and score new listings as they come in. The tools are all there, the tooling to orchestrate it off-the-cuff for personal use is still a bit far off.
