Zillow Is Spying On You With New Algorithms To Check The Quality And Curbside Appeal Of Your Home
Zillow is about to let everyone on the internet know about your home’s slightest flaws. The online real estate company will use it depreciate your home’s Zestimate. Zillow announced on Thursday it has a new algorithm that uses photos to help decide the appeal and worth of your home.
Stan Humphries, Zillow’s Chief Analytics Officer wrote in a Medium post:
We’ve taught the Zestimate to discern quality by training convolutional neural networks with millions of photos of homes on Zillow, and asking them to learn the visual cues that signal a home feature’s quality, For instance, if a kitchen has granite countertops, the Zestimate now knows — based on the granite counter top’s pixels in the home photo — that the home is likely going to sell for a little more.
