Housing affordability is a crisis in communities across the country. The typical monthly rent in the U.S. is over $2,000 a month nationally, which is 37% higher than five years ago. Sharp increases in rent have a direct impact on rates of homelessness and are considered by policymakers to be a primary cause of housing instability. Zillow was founded on 'Turning on the Lights' for people navigating a complex and often difficult journey when trying to find a home. Our technology has helped achieve that in real estate and we want to offer this expertise for those facing the challenge of finding a way out of homelessness. Housing Connector is a direct outcome of bringing these pieces together, which has 'Turned on the Lights' for people that had been experiencing homelessness and now have an affordable place to call home. #TechnologyforGood Read about Charlie's story.
Zillow is proud of our continued sponsorship of AfroTech, one of the largest Black tech conferences in the country. At this year's conference, which was held Nov. 13-17, we hosted both an intimate reception for executives and an after-party for all attendees. Our delegation included members of Zillow’s Recruiting and Equity & Belonging teams, Billow (our Black employee affinity group) and some of Zillow’s senior executives, who joined together to build community and connection with some of the most talented folks in our industry. Attending AfroTech is an intentional effort to ensure that we invite talent from this brilliant community to join us on our mission of making home more accessible to all people through innovation and products.

Flexible work - what we at Zillow call Cloud HQ - has always been about rethinking work, and empowering our employees to do their best work and live a more balanced life. Many employers have taken a “wait and see” approach to remote-work policies rather than providing clarity and flexibility when it’s been needed most. We committed to Cloud HQ early on, and believe that it has made our business stronger, more nimble and our employees lives better. Read more about the importance of offering employees flexibility from our Chief People Officer, Dan Spaulding.
In last week's third-quarter earnings we reported consolidated financial results that exceeded the high end of our guidance. We're making progress toward our vision of an integrated transaction experience!

We’re pressing the accelerator by investing in our five growth pillars: touring, financing, seller solutions, enhancing our partner network and integrating our services. For many years, people have flocked to Zillow to dream and shop. Now, we’re building an ecosystem of solutions to enable them in every step of their moving journey. Read more about our Q3 results and where we’re headed next from our CEO, Rich Barton.
Flexible work at Zillow represents a way of working that's designed to meet the needs of our employees. A 2021 survey of 1000 Zillow employees uncovered that the rise of remote work has led to a positive shift in how employees are spending their time that was once occupied by frenzied mornings and stressful commutes. Many pre-pandemic norms have been replaced with habits that are leading to healthier and happier lives. In January of 2020, 94.5% of our employees lived within 50 miles of a Zillow office - fast forward to October 2022 and you'll find that only 67.4% of Zillow employees live with 50 miles of a Zillow office.
