West USA Realty, Arizona's largest regional real estate brand with over 3,000 agents across 16 offices, has partnered with Zillow to adopt new listing access standards promoting transparency in real estate listings. The standards, effective May 2025, implement the National Association of Realtors' Clear Cooperation policy, requiring publicly marketed listings to be entered into the MLS within one day and published on Zillow, Trulia, and other MLS-fed platforms.
The partnership aims to ensure equitable and timely access to real estate information, creating a more open and competitive housing market. West USA Realty joins industry leaders like NextHome and eXp Realty in this initiative, which mandates that listings not meeting these criteria won't be published on Zillow or Trulia for the duration of the listing.
Zillow's latest analysis reveals a significant surge in cities with million-dollar starter homes, increasing from 85 cities five years ago to 233 today. The typical starter home nationwide remains at an attainable $192,514, but in these 233 cities, even entry-level homes cost $1 million or more.
California dominates with 113 such cities, followed by New York (32) and New Jersey (20). The phenomenon has spread to 25 states, with Minnesota and Rhode Island being recent additions. The New York City metro area leads with 48 cities having million-dollar starter homes, followed by San Francisco (43) and Los Angeles (34).
This trend reflects the pandemic housing boom's impact on affordability, causing many young households to postpone homeownership, with the median renter age now at 42 years.
Zillow (ZG) and Epique Realty have announced a strategic partnership to provide Epique agents with access to Zillow Showcase, an AI-powered premium listing experience. The partnership aims to enhance agent recruiting and retention while helping agents differentiate their listings.
According to Zillow research, sellers prioritize reaching the largest buyer pool (52%) and achieving the highest sales price (45%). Agents using Zillow Showcase on over half their listings are winning 30% more listings than non-users.

Home values showed minimal growth in March 2025, rising just 0.2% during what is typically a high-growth period, according to Zillow's latest market report. The market saw a significant increase in inventory, with buyers having 19% more options compared to last year.
Despite mortgage rates reaching a 2025 low of 6.65% in March, buyer activity remained subdued. More than 375,000 homes entered the market, up 9% year-over-year, while only 265,000 listings went into pending sales. The inventory level reached 1.15 million homes, though still 24% below pre-pandemic levels.
Affordability remains a major challenge, with typical mortgage payments requiring 35.3% of median household income. Sellers responded by cutting prices at record rates, with 23.5% of Zillow listings receiving price cuts in March - the highest share since at least 2018. The typical U.S. home value stands at $359,741, showing a modest 1.2% year-over-year appreciation.
