# Housing Data Provided by Zillow
Updated: 2023-02-01

This dataset contains several configs produced based on files available at https://www.zillow.com/research/data/.

# Processing Notes

This dataset contains only parquet files created from the raw Zillow data. For code related to processing that data and creating the parquet files see https://huggingface.co/datasets/misikoff/zillow.

Supported configs:
- [`days_on_market`](#days-on-market): Days to pending, days to close, share of listings with a price cut, and price cuts.
- [`for_sale_listings`](#for-sale-listings): Median listing price, new listings, and new pending listings.
- [`home_values`](#home-values): Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) for all homes, mid-tier, bottom-tier, and top-tier homes.
- [`home_values_forecasts`](#home-values-forecasts): Zillow Home Value Forecast (ZHVF) for all homes, mid-tier, bottom-tier, and top-tier homes.
- [`new_construction`](#new-construction): Median sale price, median sale price per square foot, and sales count.
- [`rentals`](#rentals): Zillow Observed Rent Index (ZORI) for all homes, mid-tier, bottom-tier, and top-tier homes.
- [`sales`](#sales): Median sale price, median sale price per square foot, and sales count.

## DAYS ON MARKET AND PRICE CUTS (TODO investigate columns more)

Days to Pending: How long it takes homes in a region to change to pending status on Zillow.com after first being shown as for sale. The reported figure indicates the number of days (mean or median) that it took for homes that went pending during the week being reported, to go pending. This differs from the old “Days on Zillow” metric in that it excludes the in-contract period before a home sells.
Days to Close (mean/median): Number of days between the listing going pending and the sale date.
Share of Listings With a Price Cut: The number of unique properties with a list price at the end of the month that’s less than the list price at the beginning of the month, divided by the number of unique properties with an active listing at some point during the month.
Price Cuts: The mean and median price cut for listings in a given region during a given time period, expressed as both dollars ($) and as a percentage (%) of list price.

## HOME VALUES

<!-- Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI): A measure of the typical home value and market changes across a given region and housing type. It reflects the typical value for homes in the 35th to 65th percentile range. Available as a smoothed, seasonally adjusted measure and as a raw measure. -->

<!-- Zillow publishes top-tier ZHVI (\$, typical value for homes within the 65th to 95th percentile range for a given region) and bottom-tier ZHVI (\$, typical value for homes within the 5th to 35th percentile range for a given region). -->

<!-- Zillow also publishes ZHVI for all single-family residences (\$, typical value for all single-family homes in a given region), for condo/coops (\$), for all homes with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5+ bedrooms (\$), and the ZHVI per square foot (\$, typical value of all homes per square foot calculated by taking the estimated home value for each home in a given region and dividing it by the home’s square footage). -->

<!-- Note: Starting with the January 2023 data release, and for all subsequent releases, the full ZHVI time series has been upgraded to harness the power of the neural Zestimate. -->

<!-- More information about what ZHVI is and how it’s calculated is available on this overview page. Here’s a handy ZHVI User Guide for information about properly citing and making calculations with this metric. -->
