Zillow Posts Q3 Double Miss

  • Q3 Revenue: $724 million, versus estimates of $773.04 million
  • Q3 Adjusted EPS: 55 cents, versus estimates of 67 cents

Total revenue was up 7% year-over-year in the quarter. Residential revenue was down 4%, Mortgages revenue increased 32% and Rentals revenue increased 26%. The company highlighted a weaker-than-expected housing environment during the quarter and noted that the broader residential real estate industry grew by just 1%.

“Q3 highlighted Zillow’s durability. We grew revenue and outperformed the real estate category during one of the toughest housing markets in a generation,” said Jeremy Wacksman, CEO of Zillow. “That performance is powered by our brand, audience engagement, value to partners and strong growth levers across our well-diversified business.”

Zillow expects fourth-quarter revenue to be in the range of $635 million to $665 million versus Benzinga Pro estimates of $740.76 million. The company also lowered its full-year 2026 revenue outlook from a range of $2.92 billion to $2.96 billion to a new range of $2.84 billion to $2.87 billion, versus estimates of $2.98 billion.
