When Zillow execs fire up the griddle and serve breakfast to Zillowites, it’s a sign of two things: sizzling bacon, which also means sizzling Zillow results.

It’s been a tremendous summer for Zillow on many fronts with new partnerships announced and records shattered. And so, it has become our tradition to celebrate accomplishments like these by serving a company breakfast – or, rather, to have the Zillow execs serve breakfast – to Zillowites.
What exactly did we accomplish this summer? First and foremost, we surpassed July’s record traffic with a new record of 12.5 million unique visitors coming to Zillow in August. This beats our previous record by more than 800k visitors (source: Omniture). Zillow Mobile is also setting records, as we recently announced over 2 million downloads of our apps. And, for bringing home the bacon (pun absolutely intended), the company earned free breakfast yesterday morning.
And on top of our banner traffic year, the team has been hard at work…
… forging new partnerships with Yahoo! and Apartments.com …
… improving our home shopping experience …
… rolling out the (relatively) new Zillow Premier Agent Program …
… launching new mobile apps for Android and iPad …
…and talking turkey about the future of the housing market with the likes of Fox Business, ABC News, Good Morning America, and Bloomberg.
And we are hiring! Come help fuel the next wave of growth at Zillow. In addition to getting to work with a great team on challenging problems to transform an industry, who doesn’t like free food served by our own Chief Economist?
