$ZG Zillow Group rolled out an AI-powered Virtual Staging tool for its Showcase listings, letting agents & buyers tinker with room visuals & décor. It’s marketed as a tech differentiator, though in practice it’s just digital furniture. The company also announced a partnership with
$BRK.B Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, extending Showcase access to its agent network—another distribution play. Financially, Q2 2025 revenue rose ~15% YoY, with rentals & mortgages driving the growth. Guidance, however, drew mixed market reactions, as enthusiasm for “adjacent monetization” runs headlong into
$Z Zillow’s uneven execution history. Net result: a housing-platform company touting AI staging & partnerships.
