Why Zillow Isn’t the Answer (And What Is)
Let’s talk about Zillow. Yes, it’s popular.
Yes, it’s easy to use.
But here’s what most people don’t realize:
Zillow isn’t designed to help you buy or sell real estate.
It’s designed to sell you—your contact info, your click history, your home search activity—to the highest bidding agent.

It doesn’t connect you with the listing agent.
It connects you with someone who paid Zillow for your data.

Maximalism isn’t just a style—it’s a philosophy. After years of beige-on-beige minimalism, we’re seeing a design renaissance that embraces bold color, texture, layering, and personal expression. TikTok is full of it. So is Zillow. And so, honestly, is my own home.
This trend is being driven by younger generations pushing back on sterile design norms. Their version of home is filled with color, thrifted art, vintage finds, and deeply personal vignettes—less polished, more playful.
