| Organization and Description of Business | Organization and Description of Business Zillow Group is reimagining real estate to make home a reality for more and more people. As the most visited real estate website in the United States, Zillow and its affiliates help people find and get the home they want by connecting them with digital solutions, dedicated partners and agents, and easier buying, selling, financing and renting experiences. Our portfolio of affiliates, subsidiaries and brands includes Zillow Premier Agent, Zillow Home Loans, our mortgage origination operations and affiliate lender, Zillow Rentals, Trulia, StreetEasy, HotPads and Out East. In addition, Zillow Group provides a comprehensive suite of marketing software and technology solutions for the real estate industry, including ShowingTime+, Spruce and Follow Up Boss. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we began to wind down the operations of Zillow Offers, our iBuying business which purchased and sold homes directly in markets across the country. The wind down was completed in the third quarter of 2022, and we have presented the financial results of Zillow Offers as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. See Note 3 for additional information. Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties We operate in a dynamic industry and, accordingly, can be affected by a variety of factors, which are uncertain and difficult to predict. For example, we believe that potential changes in any of the following areas may have a significant impact on us in terms of our future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: the health and stability of the economy and United States residential real estate industry, including changes in inflationary conditions, interest rates, housing availability and affordability, labor shortages and supply chain issues; our ability to navigate industry changes, including as a result of past, pending or future lawsuits, settlements or government investigations; our ability to manage advertising and product inventory and pricing and maintain relationships with our real estate partners; our ability to comply with current and future rules and requirements promulgated by NAR, MLSs, or other real estate industry groups or governing bodies, and to maintain or establish relationships with listing and data providers; our investment of resources to pursue strategies and develop new products and services that may not prove effective or that are not attractive for customers and real estate partners or that do not allow us to compete successfully; our ability to operate and grow the mortgage operations of Zillow Home Loans, our affiliate lender, including the ability to obtain or maintain sufficient financing and resell originated mortgages on the secondary market; the duration and impact of natural disasters, climate change, geopolitical events, and other catastrophic events (including public health crises) on our ability to operate, demand for our products or services or general economic conditions; outcomes of legal proceedings and government investigations; our ability to attract, engage, and retain a highly skilled workforce; protection of Zillow Group’s information and systems against security breaches or disruptions in operations; reliance on third-party services to support critical functions of our business; protection of our brand and intellectual property; and changes in laws or government regulation affecting our business, among other things.

| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Zillow Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the accounting for certain revenue offerings, amortization period and recoverability of contract cost assets, website and software development costs, recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets, share-based compensation, income taxes, business combinations, including the initial and subsequent fair value measurements of assets (primarily intangible assets), liabilities and contingent consideration, and the recoverability of goodwill, among others. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected. The health of the housing market and the broader economy may result in additional uncertainty with respect to estimates, judgments and assumptions, which may materially impact the estimates previously listed, among others. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable and mortgage loans held for sale. We place cash and cash equivalents and investments with major financial institutions, which management assesses to be of high credit quality, in order to limit the exposure of our investments to credit risk. Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is dispersed due to the large number of customers. There were no customers that comprised 10% or more of our total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024 or 2023. Further, our credit risk on accounts receivable is mitigated by the relatively short payment terms that we offer. Collateral is not required for accounts receivable. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts such that receivables are stated at net realizable value. Similarly, our credit risk on mortgage loans held for sale is dispersed due to a large number of customers and is mitigated by the fact that we typically sell mortgages on the secondary market within a relatively short period of time after the loan is originated. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash includes demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Our cash equivalents represent investments with original maturities of three months or less. We regularly maintain cash in excess of federally insured limits at financial institutions. Short-term Investments Our investments consist of fixed income securities, which include U.S. government treasury securities, investment grade corporate securities, U.S. government agency securities and commercial paper. The investments are available to support current operations and are classified as short-term investments measured at fair value. Our investment policy only allows for purchases of investment-grade securities and provides guidelines on concentrations to ensure minimum risk of loss. We evaluate whether unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities are the result of credit worthiness of the securities held or other non-credit related factors. If an unrealized loss is the result of credit quality factors, we recognize an allowance reflective of our current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial instrument on a specific identification basis upon initial recognition and at each reporting period. If a reduction in value is a result of other factors, we continue to classify the losses in comprehensive loss unless either we intend to sell the security or it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security. We did not identify any unrealized loss positions in our available-for-sale securities that were the result of credit losses as of December 31, 2024 or 2023. Additionally, we have the ability to hold our investments to maturity and more likely than not will not be required to sell the securities before a recovery of the amortized cost basis has occurred. Restricted Cash Restricted cash primarily consists of amounts held in escrow related to indemnification holdbacks for certain of our acquisitions and amounts used to fund customer home purchases in our mortgage origination business. Mortgage Loans Held for Sale Mortgage loans held for sale include residential mortgages originated for sale in the secondary market in connection with our mortgage origination business. We have elected the fair value option for all mortgage loans held for sale as election of this option allows for a better offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Mortgage loans held for sale are initially recorded at fair value based on either sale commitments or current market quotes and are adjusted for subsequent changes in fair value until the loans are sold. Net origination costs and fees associated with mortgage loans are recognized as incurred. We sell substantially all of the mortgages we originate and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers. Interest income is earned from the date a mortgage loan is originated until the loan is sold and is classified within other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Generally, mortgage loans originated are sold within a short period of time in the secondary mortgage market on a servicing released, nonrecourse basis, which limits exposure to nonperformance by loan buyer counterparties. However, we remain liable for certain limited representations and warranties related to loan sales, such as non-compliance with defined loan origination or documentation standards, including misstatement in the loan documents, early payoff or default on early payments. Mortgage investors could seek to have us buy back loans or compensate them for losses incurred on mortgages we have sold based on claims that we breached our limited representations and warranties. We record a reserve for probable losses in connection with the sale of mortgage loans within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Loan Commitments and Related Derivatives We are party to IRLCs, which are extended to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and meet defined credit and underwriting criteria in connection with our Zillow Home Loans mortgage origination business. IRLCs are accounted for as derivative instruments recorded at fair value with gains and losses recognized in revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. We manage our interest rate risk related to IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale through the use of derivative instruments, generally forward contracts on MBSs, which are commitments to either purchase or sell a financial instrument at a future date for a specified price, and mandatory loan commitments, which are an obligation by an investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period. We do not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes, and our derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments. Changes in the fair value of our derivative financial instruments are recognized in revenue in our consolidated statements of operations, and the fair values are reflected in other current assets or other current liabilities, as applicable. Refer to Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding IRLCs and related derivatives. There are no credit-risk-related contingent features within our derivative agreements, and counterparty risk is considered minimal. Gains and losses on IRLCs are substantially offset by corresponding gains or losses on forward contracts on MBSs and mandatory loan commitments. We are generally not exposed to variability in cash flows of derivative instruments for more than approximately 90 days. Contract Balances Accounts receivable represent our unconditional right to consideration. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days and are recorded net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents our estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual life of the accounts receivable. To evaluate the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts each reporting period, we analyze the accounts receivable balances with similar risk characteristics on a collective basis, considering factors such as the aging of receivable balances, payment terms, historical loss experience, current information and future expectations. Changes to the allowance for doubtful accounts are adjusted through credit loss expense, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Contract assets represent our right to consideration in exchange for goods and services that we have transferred to the customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets are primarily related to our Premier Agent Flex, Zillow Lease Connect and StreetEasy Experts offerings, whereby we estimate variable consideration based on the expected number of real estate transactions to be closed for Premier Agent Flex and StreetEasy Experts, and qualified leases to be secured for Zillow Lease Connect. We recognize revenue when we satisfy our performance obligations under the corresponding contracts. The current portion of contract assets are recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and the long-term portion of contract assets are recorded within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, which relates to payments received in advance of performance under a revenue contract. Deferred revenue is primarily related to prepaid advertising fees received or billed in advance of satisfying our performance obligations and prepaid but unrecognized subscription revenue. Deferred revenue is recognized when or as we satisfy our obligations under contracts with customers. Contract Cost Assets We capitalize certain incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers which we expect to recover. These costs relate to commissions paid to sales personnel, primarily for our Premier Agent and Rentals products. As a practical expedient, we recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. Capitalized commission costs are recorded as contract cost assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Contract cost assets are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over a period that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the products or services to which the asset relates, generally the estimated life of the customer relationship. Amortization expense related to contract cost assets is included in sales and marketing expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. In determining the estimated life of our customer relationships, we consider quantitative and qualitative data, including, but not limited to, historical customer data, recent changes or expected changes in product or service offerings and changes in how we monetize our products and services. We monitor our contract cost assets for impairment and recognize an impairment loss in the consolidated statements of operations to the extent the carrying amount of the asset recognized exceeds the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in the future and that we have received but have not recognized in revenue less the costs that relate directly to providing those goods or services that have not yet been recognized as expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we did not record any material impairment losses to our contract cost assets. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The useful lives are as follows:
Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major improvements, which extend the useful life of the related asset, are capitalized. Upon disposal of a fixed asset, we record a gain or loss based on the difference between the proceeds received and the net book value of the disposed asset. We remove fully depreciated property and equipment from the cost and accumulated depreciation amounts disclosed. Website and Software Development Costs Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of website and software development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental and deemed by management to be significant, are capitalized in property and equipment and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Maintenance and enhancement costs, including those costs in the post-implementation stages, are typically expensed as incurred, unless such costs relate to substantial upgrades and enhancements to the website or software that result in added functionality, in which case the costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense related to capitalized website and software development costs is included in cost of revenue in our consolidated statements of operations. Capitalized development activities placed in service are amortized over the expected useful lives of those releases, currently estimated at to five years. The estimated useful lives of website and software development activities are reviewed frequently and adjusted as appropriate to reflect upcoming development activities that may include significant upgrades and/or enhancements to the existing functionality. We remove fully amortized website and software development costs from the cost and accumulated amortization amounts disclosed. Construction-in-progress primarily consists of website and software development costs that are capitalizable, but for which the associated applications have not been placed in service. Leases Our lease portfolio is primarily composed of operating leases for our office space. We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. Our operating leases are included in right of use assets and lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. We do not have any material financing leases. Right of use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Right of use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the total lease payments contracted but not yet paid, including lease incentives not yet received, with the right of use assets further adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, lease incentives received and/or initial direct costs incurred. We have lease agreements that include both lease components (e.g., fixed rent) and non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance). For such leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component. Certain lease arrangements also include variable payments for costs such as common-area maintenance, utilities, taxes or other operating costs, which are based on a percentage of actual expenses incurred or a fluctuating rate which is unknown at the inception of the contract. These variable lease payments are excluded from the measurement of the right of use assets and lease liabilities. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to eight years, most of which include one or more options to extend the lease term. The renewal options can generally extend the lease term for up to an additional to ten years. When determining if a renewal option is reasonably certain of being exercised at lease commencement, we consider several factors, including but not limited to, contract-based, asset-based and entity-based factors. We reassess the term of existing leases if there is a significant event or change in circumstances within our control that affects whether we are reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease. Examples of such events or changes include construction of significant leasehold improvements or other modifications or customizations to the underlying asset, relevant business decisions or subleases. As of December 31, 2024, we have concluded that our renewal options are not reasonably certain of being exercised, therefore, renewal options are not included in the right of use assets and lease liabilities. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. We apply a portfolio approach for determining the incremental borrowing rate based on the applicable lease terms and the current economic environment. We recognize lease expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are generally recognized when incurred. For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, we recognize the associated lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. These expenses are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Recoverability of Goodwill Goodwill is measured as the excess of consideration transferred for an acquired business over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, and is not amortized. We assess the impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level on an annual basis, in our fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. In our evaluation of goodwill, we initially perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of each reporting unit is greater than its fair value. If it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit is greater than its fair value, we perform a quantitative assessment and an impairment charge is recorded in our statements of operations if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Beginning in 2023, our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is our chief executive officer (“CEO”), began managing our business, making operating decisions and evaluating operating performance on the basis of the company as a whole, instead of on a segment basis as he did prior to 2023. This aligns to our ongoing growth strategy and our intent to provide integrated customer solutions for all tasks and services related to facilitating real estate transactions. This resulted in revisions to the nature and substance of information regularly provided to and used by the CODM. Accordingly, in 2023, we realigned our operating structure, resulting in a single operating and reportable segment. In line with this, the nature and substance of the information regularly provided to our segment management similarly changed, and we determined that we had only one reporting unit. Because the segment change impacted the structure of our reporting units, we performed a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment immediately before and immediately after the change in reporting units. Based on those assessments, we determined it was more likely than not that the fair value of our current and legacy reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. Therefore, we concluded that it was not necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we did not record any impairments related to goodwill. Intangible Assets We purchase and license data content from multiple data providers. This data content consists of United States county data about home details and other information relating to the purchase price of homes, both current and historical, as well as imagery, mapping and parcel data that is displayed on our mobile applications and websites. In some instances, we retain perpetual rights to this information after our contract with a vendor ends; in other instances, the information and data are licensed only during the fixed term of the agreement. Additionally, certain data license agreements provide for uneven payment amounts throughout the contract term. We capitalize payments made to third parties for data licenses that we expect to recover through generation of revenue and margins. For data license contracts that include uneven payment amounts, we capitalize the payments as they are made as an intangible asset and the total contract value is typically amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, which is equivalent to the estimated useful life of the asset. The amortization period for the capitalized purchased content is based on our best estimate of the useful life of the asset, which ranges from to seven years. Under certain other data agreements, the underlying data is obtained on a subscription basis with consistent monthly or quarterly recurring payment terms over the contractual period. Upon the expiration of such arrangements, we no longer have the right to access the related data, and therefore, the costs incurred under such contracts are not capitalized and are expensed as payments are made. We also capitalize costs related to the license of certain internal-use software from third parties, including certain licenses of software in cloud computing arrangements. Additionally, we capitalize costs incurred during the application development stage related to the development of internal-use software and enterprise cloud computing services. We expense costs as incurred related to the planning and post-implementation phases of development. Capitalized internal-use software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is currently to five years. Intangibles-in-progress consist of purchased content and software that are capitalizable but have not been placed in service. We also have intangible assets for developed technology, customer relationships, and trade names and trademarks which we recorded in connection with acquisitions. Purchased intangible assets with a determinable economic life are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. These intangible assets are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis. For each of the intangible assets described above, we have removed fully amortized assets from the cost and accumulated amortization amounts disclosed. Recoverability of Intangible Assets with Definite Lives and Other Long-Lived Assets We evaluate intangible assets and other long-lived assets, including our lease right of use assets, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated. We group assets for purposes of such review at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows of the asset group are largely independent of the cash flows of the other groups of assets and liabilities. If this comparison indicates impairment, the amount of impairment to be recognized is calculated as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset group. Business Combinations We recognize identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While we use our best estimates and assumptions for the preliminary purchase price allocation process to value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill to the extent that we identify adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations. We recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. We record contingent consideration at its preliminary estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The current portion of contingent consideration is recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and the long-term portion is recorded within other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period. Measurement period adjustments, if any, to the preliminary estimated fair value as of the acquisition date are recorded to goodwill during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. Changes in fair value as a result of updated assumptions after the acquisition date are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue when or as we satisfy our performance obligations by transferring control of the promised products or services to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those products or services. As a practical expedient, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component, as the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service is generally one year or less, with the exception of certain of our pay for performance products, including Premier Agent Flex and StreetEasy Experts, whereby we may not receive payment for services provided for up to two years after control of the promised products or services is transferred to our customers. In these cases, however, because a substantial portion of the consideration is variable, we have concluded the contracts do not include a significant financing component. We do not disclose the transaction price related to remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for performance completed to date. The remaining duration over which we satisfy our performance obligations is generally less than one year. We disaggregate our revenue into the following categories: Residential, Rentals, Mortgages and Other, described below. Our “For Sale revenue” subtotal includes our Residential and Mortgages revenue categories and represents our revenue from participation in residential real estate purchase and sale transactions. Residential. Residential revenue includes revenue generated by our Premier Agent and new construction marketplaces, as well as revenue from the sale of advertising and business technology solutions for real estate professionals through ShowingTime+, StreetEasy for-sale product offerings, and Follow Up Boss. Our Premier Agent program offers a suite of marketing and technology products and services to help real estate agents and brokers achieve their advertising goals while growing and managing their businesses and brands. The marketing and business technology products and services promised to Premier Agent partners are delivered over time, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the performance obligations. Premier Agent advertising products, which include the delivery of validated customer connections, or leads, are offered on a share of voice (“market-based pricing”) and pay for performance basis. Connections are delivered when consumer contact information is provided to Premier Agent partners. We do not promise any minimum or maximum number of connections to customers, but instead control when and how many connections to deliver based on a customer’s share of voice. A Premier Agent partners’ share of voice in a zip code is determined by their proportional monthly prepaid spend in that zip code as a percentage of the total monthly prepaid spend of all Premier Agent partners in that zip code, and determines the proportion of connections a Premier Agent partner receives. The number of connections delivered for a given spend level is dynamic; as demand for advertising in a zip code increases or decreases, the number of connections delivered to a Premier Agent partner in that zip code decreases or increases accordingly. We recognize revenue related to Premier Agent market-based pricing products and services based on the monthly prepaid spend recognized on a straight-line basis during the monthly billing period over which the products and services are provided. This methodology best depicts how we satisfy our performance obligations to customers, as we continuously transfer control of the performance obligations to the customer over time. We have not allocated the transaction price to each performance obligation within our Premier Agent market-based pricing arrangements, as the amounts recognized would be the same irrespective of any allocation. Our pay for performance pricing model is called “Flex” and is available in certain markets to select partners. With the Flex model, Premier Agent partners are provided with leads at no initial cost and pay a performance advertising fee only when a real estate transaction is closed with one of the leads, generally within two years. With this pricing model, the transaction price represents variable consideration, as the amount to which we expect to be entitled varies based on the number of leads that convert into real estate transactions and the value of those transactions. We estimate variable consideration and record revenue as our performance obligations, or leads, are transferred. We do not believe that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur once the uncertainty related to the number of transactions closed is subsequently resolved. We record a contract asset for our estimate of the consideration to which we will be entitled when the right to the consideration is conditional. When the right to consideration becomes unconditional, upon the close of a real estate transaction, we reclassify amounts to accounts receivable. Revenue from ShowingTime+ encompasses several products and services including Dotloop, ShowingTime, Zillow Showcase and Listing Media Services. Dotloop is a real estate transaction management SaaS solution. ShowingTime primarily generates revenue through Appointment Center, which is a SaaS and call center solution allowing real estate agents, brokerages and multiple listing services to efficiently schedule real estate viewing appointments on behalf of their customers. Both Dotloop and Appointment Center revenue are primarily billed monthly in advance and recognized ratably over the contract period, aligning to the satisfaction of our performance obligations. ShowingTime+ revenue also includes revenue generated from Zillow Showcase, an advertising and marketing solution which allows real estate agents to advertise an enhanced listing on Zillow’s mobile applications and websites. Customers pay for Zillow Showcase credits upfront. We recognize revenue by measuring our progress towards satisfaction of our performance obligations, primarily the enhanced listing features, using the output method of results achieved. ShowingTime+ revenue also includes Listing Media Services, a real estate photography and rich media platform. Customers typically pay for Listing Media Services upfront at the time of scheduling their appointment with a photographer. We recognize revenue at a point in time upon transfer of control of the media purchased to our customers. Our new construction marketing solutions allow home builders to showcase their available inventory to home shoppers. New construction revenue primarily includes revenue generated by advertising sold to builders on a cost per residential community basis whereby we recognize revenue on a straight-line basis during the contractual period over which the communities are advertised on our mobile applications and websites. New construction revenue also includes revenue generated on a cost per impression basis whereby we recognize revenue as impressions are delivered to users interacting with our mobile applications and websites, which is the amount for which we have the right to invoice. Consideration for new construction products is billed in arrears. StreetEasy for-sale revenue primarily consists of our StreetEasy Experts and StreetEasy subscription offerings. StreetEasy Experts is our pay for performance pricing model available in the New York City market for which agents and brokers are provided with leads at no initial cost and pay a performance referral fee only when a real estate purchase transaction is closed with one of the leads. Under the StreetEasy Experts pricing model, the transaction price represents variable consideration, as the amount to which we expect to be entitled varies based on the number of leads that convert into real estate transactions and the value of those transactions. We estimate variable consideration based on the expected number of closed transactions during the period. We do not believe that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur once the uncertainty related to the number of transactions closed is subsequently resolved. We record a corresponding contract asset for the estimate of variable consideration for StreetEasy Experts when the right to the consideration is conditional. When the right to consideration becomes unconditional upon the close of a real estate transaction, we reclassify amounts to accounts receivable. Revenue generated through StreetEasy subscription offerings includes the sale of advertising and a suite of tools to developers, property managers, agents and other real estate professionals. StreetEasy subscription customers pay in advance on a cost per property basis, based on the property size and product tier. We recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the contractual listing period which aligns to our satisfaction of performance obligations. Follow Up Boss is a SaaS solution allowing real estate agents, teams and brokerages to manage real estate leads from the initial contact through the home buying or selling process. Follow Up Boss revenue is primarily billed in advance on a monthly basis and recognized ratably over the contract period, aligning to the satisfaction of our performance obligations. Rentals. Rentals revenue includes the sale of advertising and a suite of tools to rental professionals, landlords and other market participants under the Zillow and StreetEasy brands. Rentals revenue includes revenue generated by advertising sold to property managers, landlords and other rental professionals on a cost per lead, lease, listing or impression basis or for a fixed fee for certain advertising packages. We recognize revenue as leads, clicks and impressions are provided to rental professionals, or as rental listings are published on our mobile applications and websites, which is the amount for which we have the right to invoice. We bill our fixed fee rentals products monthly in arrears and recognize revenue ratably over the contract period, aligning to the satisfaction of our performance obligations. The number of leases generated through our rentals pay per lease product, Zillow Lease Connect, during the period is accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate the amount of consideration based on the expected number of qualified leases secured during the period. We do not believe that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur once the uncertainty related to the number of leases secured is subsequently resolved. We record a contract asset for the estimate of variable consideration for Zillow Lease Connect when the right to the consideration is conditional. When the right to consideration becomes unconditional upon the execution of a lease, we reclassify amounts to accounts receivable. Rentals revenue also includes revenue generated from our rental applications product, through which potential renters can submit applications to multiple properties for a flat service fee. Rental applications customers pay upfront and we recognize revenue ratably over the contractual period during which the customer has the right to access and submit the rental application. Mortgages. Mortgages revenue primarily includes revenue generated by Zillow Home Loans, our affiliated mortgage lender, and marketing products sold to mortgage professionals on a cost per lead basis, including our Custom Quote and Connect services. Mortgage origination revenue reflects origination fees on purchase or refinance mortgages and the corresponding sale, or expected future sale, of a loan. When an IRLC is made to a customer, we record the expected gain on sale of the mortgage, plus the estimated earnings from the expected sale of the associated servicing rights, adjusted for a pull-through percentage (which is defined as the likelihood that an IRLC will be originated), as revenue. Revenue from loan origination fees is recognized at the time the related purchase or refinance transactions are completed, usually upon the close of escrow and when we fund the purchase or refinance mortgage loans. Once funded, mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at fair value based on either sale commitments or current market quotes and are adjusted for subsequent changes in fair value until the loan is sold. Origination costs associated with originating mortgage loans are recognized as incurred. We generally sell the mortgages we originate and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers. Mortgage loans are sold with limited recourse provisions, which can result in repurchases of loans previously sold to investors or payments to reimburse investors for loan losses. Based on historical experience, discussions with our mortgage purchasers, analysis of the volume of mortgages we originated and current housing and credit market conditions, we estimate and record a loss reserve for mortgage loans held for sale, as well as known and projected mortgage loan repurchase requests. These have historically not been significant to our financial statements. Zillow Group operates Custom Quote and Connect through its wholly owned subsidiary, Zillow Group Marketplace, Inc., a licensed mortgage broker. For our Connect and Custom Quote cost per lead marketing products, participating qualified mortgage professionals typically make a prepayment to gain access to consumers interested in connecting with mortgage professionals. Mortgage professionals who exhaust their initial prepayment prepay additional funds to continue to participate in the marketplace. For our cost per lead mortgages products, we recognize revenue when a user contacts a mortgage professional through our mortgages platform, which corresponds directly to the value of our performance. Other. Other revenue primarily includes revenue generated from display products, which consist of graphical mobile and web advertising sold on a cost per thousand impressions or cost per click basis to advertisers promoting their brands on our mobile applications and websites. We recognize revenue as clicks occur or as impressions are delivered to users interacting with our mobile applications or websites, which is the amount for which we have the right to invoice. There were no customers that generated 10% or more of our total revenue in the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 or 2022. Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue consists of expenses related to operating our mobile applications and websites, including associated headcount-related expenses, such as salaries, benefits, bonuses and share-based compensation expense, as well as revenue-sharing costs related to our commercial business relationships, depreciation expense, and costs associated with hosting our mobile applications and websites. Cost of revenue also includes amortization costs related to capitalized website and development activities, amortization of software, amortization of certain intangible assets and other costs to obtain data used to populate our mobile applications and websites, and amortization of certain intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions, including developed technology. Cost of revenue also includes credit card fees and ad serving costs paid to third parties, direct costs to provide our rental applications product, and direct costs to originate loans, including underwriting and processing costs. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist of advertising costs and other sales expenses related to promotional and marketing activities, headcount-related expenses, including salaries, commissions, benefits, bonuses and share-based compensation expense for sales, sales support, customer support, including the customer connections team and mortgage loan officers and specialists, marketing and public relations employees, depreciation expense and amortization of certain intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions, including trade names and trademarks and customer relationships. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, expenses attributable to advertising totaled $175 million, $137 million and $144 million, respectively. Technology and Development. Technology and development expenses consist of headcount-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and share-based compensation expense for individuals engaged in the design, development and testing of our products, mobile applications and websites and the tools and applications that support our products. Technology and development expenses also include equipment and software maintenance costs and depreciation expense. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded in technology and development expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, expenses attributable to research and development totaled $543 million, $545 million and $495 million, respectively. Share-Based Compensation. We measure compensation expense for all share-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the service period on a straight-line basis for awards expected to vest. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to determine the fair value for option awards. In valuing our option awards, we make assumptions about risk-free interest rates, dividend yields, volatility and weighted-average expected lives. We account for forfeitures as they occur. Risk-free interest rates are derived from U.S. Treasury securities as of the option award grant date. Expected dividend yield is based on our historical cash dividend payments, which have been zero to date. The expected volatility for our Class C capital stock is estimated using our historical volatility. The weighted-average expected life of the option awards is estimated based on our historical exercise data. When determining the grant date fair value of share-based awards, management considers whether an adjustment is required to the observable market price or volatility of the Company’s Class C capital stock used in the valuation as a result of material non-public information. For issuances of restricted stock units, we determine the fair value of the award based on the market value of our Class C capital stock, as applicable, at the date of grant. Impairment and Restructuring Costs. From time to time, we record impairment costs within impairment and restructuring costs in our consolidated statements of operations. See Note 9 for additional information on the impairment costs recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024. The main components of our restructuring costs recorded within impairment and restructuring costs in our consolidated statements of operations relate to employee termination costs, contract termination costs, and charges attributable to the wind down of Zillow Offers operations and additional cost actions to streamline our operations and prioritize investments. One-time employee termination benefits are recognized when the plan of termination has been communicated to employees and certain other criteria are met. Other severance and employee costs, primarily pertaining to ongoing employee benefit arrangements, are recognized when it is probable that the employees are entitled to the severance benefits and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Contract termination costs are recognized when a contract is terminated in accordance with its terms or at the cease-use date. Asset write-offs are recognized upon their cease-use date. The cumulative effect of a change resulting from a revision to either the timing or the amount of estimated cash flows for restructuring is recognized as an adjustment to the liability in the period of the change. Income Taxes We use the asset and liability approach for accounting and reporting income taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the applicable enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets would be established if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some or all of the deferred tax assets are not expected to be realized. We establish reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, new tax legislation or the change of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as income tax expense. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance to improve existing disclosure requirements for segment reporting, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and new disclosure requirements applicable to entities with a single reportable segment. We adopted this guidance on a retrospective basis for the annual period ended December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 19 for additional information related to our segment information disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance the income tax rate reconciliation disclosure requirements and to provide clarity on disclosure requirements for income taxes. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt this guidance for the annual period ending December 31, 2025. While we anticipate this guidance will result in additional disclosures related to income taxes, we do not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance that will require disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses included within an entity’s consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We have not yet determined the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

| Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations Zillow Offers Wind Down In November 2021, the Board made the determination to wind down Zillow Offers operations. This decision was made in light of home pricing unpredictability, capacity constraints and other operational challenges faced by Zillow Offers that were exacerbated by an unprecedented housing market, a global pandemic and a difficult labor and supply chain environment, all of which led us to conclude that, despite its initial promise in earlier quarters, Zillow Offers was unlikely to be a sufficiently stable line of business to meet our goals going forward. The wind down of Zillow Offers was completed in the third quarter of 2022, at which time Zillow Offers met the criteria for discontinued operations. Accordingly, we have presented the results of operations, excluding allocation of any general corporate expenses, of Zillow Offers as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. The following table presents the major classes of line items of the discontinued operations included in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 (in millions):
The following table presents significant non-cash items and capital expenditures of the discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 (in millions):
Restructuring totaled $24 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and were primarily related to the Zillow Offers wind down. Cumulative restructuring charges attributable to continuing operations as of December 31, 2022 totaled $33 million.

| Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments We apply fair value measurements on a recurring and, as otherwise required, on a nonrecurring basis. Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standards also establish a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: •Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. •Level 2 — Assets and liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities. •Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity; instruments valued based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed, and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require. We apply the following methods and assumptions in estimating our fair value measurements: Cash equivalents — The fair value measurement of money market funds is based on quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1). The fair value measurement of other cash equivalents is based on observable market-based inputs principally derived from or corroborated by observable market data (Level 2). Short-term investments — The fair value measurement of our short-term investments is based on observable market-based inputs or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (Level 2). Restricted cash — The carrying value of restricted cash approximates fair value due to the short period of time that amounts are held in escrow (Level 1). Mortgage loans held for sale — The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is generally calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to sell mortgage loans with similar characteristics (Level 2). Forward contracts — The fair value of mandatory loan sales commitments and derivative instruments such as forward sales of MBSs that are utilized as economic hedging instruments is calculated by reference to quoted prices for similar assets (Level 2). Contingent consideration — In December 2023, Zillow Group acquired Follow Up Boss for $399 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and contingent consideration of up to $100 million, payable over a three-year period upon achievement of certain performance metrics. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation which considers the probabilities of the achievement of certain performance metrics (Level 3). The discount rates used in our valuation of contingent consideration are based on our estimated cost of debt and are directly related to the fair value of contingent consideration. An increase in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. Conversely, a decrease in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in an increase in the fair value measurement. The probabilities of achieving the relevant performance metrics used in our valuation of contingent consideration are directly related to the fair value of contingent consideration, as an increase in the probability, in isolation, would result in an increase in the fair value measurement. Conversely, a decrease in the probability, in isolation, would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. During the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no material changes in the unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of contingent consideration. See Note 6 for additional details on our contingent consideration. The following table presents the range and weighted average unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of contingent consideration as of December 31, 2024:
IRLCs — The fair value of IRLCs is calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to sell mortgage loans with similar characteristics. Expired commitments are excluded from the fair value measurement. Since not all IRLCs will become closed loans, we adjust our fair value measurements for the estimated amount of IRLCs that will not close. This adjustment is effected through the pull-through rate, which represents the probability that an IRLC will ultimately result in a closed loan. For IRLCs that are cancelled or expire, any recorded gain or loss is reversed at the end of the commitment period (Level 3). The pull-through rate is based on estimated changes in market conditions, loan stage and historical borrower behavior. Pull-through rates are directly related to the fair value of IRLCs as an increase in the pull-through rate, in isolation, would result in an increase in the fair value measurement. Conversely, a decrease in the pull-through rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. Changes in the fair value of IRLCs are included within revenue in our consolidated statements of operations. The following table presents the range and weighted-average pull-through rates used in determining the fair value of IRLCs as of the dates presented:
We manage our interest rate risk related to IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale through the use of derivative instruments, generally forward contracts on MBSs, which are commitments to either purchase or sell a financial instrument at a future date for a specified price, and mandatory loan commitments, which are an obligation by an investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period. We do not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes, and our derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments. Changes in the fair value of our derivative financial instruments are recognized in revenue in our consolidated statements of operations. The following table presents the notional amounts of the economic hedging instruments related to our mortgage loans held for sale as of the dates presented (in millions):

| Acquisitions | Acquisitions Acquisition of Follow Up Boss On December 8, 2023, Zillow Group acquired Follow Up Boss, a customer relationship management system for real estate professionals, for $399 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and contingent consideration of up to $100 million in cash, payable over a three-year period upon achievement of certain performance metrics. See Note 4 for additional information regarding the fair value of contingent consideration. The acquisition is consistent with our strategy to invest in a more integrated software experience for our customers. The acquisition of Follow Up Boss has been accounted for as a business combination, and assets acquired and liabilities assumed were generally recorded at their estimated fair values, in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. Goodwill represents the expected synergies from combining the acquired assets and the operations of the acquirer as well as intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. The total purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, as follows (in millions):
The estimated fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired and associated useful lives consisted of the following (in millions):
Estimated fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired were determined by management, based in part on a valuation performed by an independent third-party valuation specialist. We used an income approach to measure the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset acquired based on the excess earnings method, whereby the fair value is estimated based upon the present value of cash flows that the applicable asset is expected to generate. We used an income approach to measure the fair value of the developed technology and trade names and trademarks based on the relief-from-royalty method. These fair value measurements were based on Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. Acquisitions of Aryeo and Spruce On July 31, 2023, Zillow Group acquired Aryeo, a software company that serves real estate photographers, in exchange for approximately $15 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and 380,259 shares of our Class C capital stock with a value of $20 million, for total consideration of $35 million, net of cash acquired. On September 11, 2023, Zillow Group acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Spruce, a tech-enabled title and escrow platform, in exchange for approximately $19 million in cash, net of cash acquired. The acquisitions of Aryeo and Spruce have been accounted for as business combinations, and assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values. Goodwill represents the expected synergies from combining the acquired assets and the operations of the acquirer as well as intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of Aryeo is not deductible for tax purposes, and goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of Spruce is deductible for tax purposes. The total purchase prices have been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at the acquisition date, as follows (in millions):
The estimated fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired and associated useful lives consisted of the following (in millions):

Credit Facilities We utilize master repurchase agreements to provide capital for Zillow Home Loans. The master repurchase agreements provide short-term financing between the issuance of a mortgage loan and when Zillow Home Loans sells the loan to an investor or directly to an agency. The carrying amounts of our master repurchase agreements approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature.

The following table summarizes certain details related to our master repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2023 (in millions, except interest rates):
In accordance with the master repurchase agreements, the Lenders have agreed to pay Zillow Home Loans a negotiated purchase price for eligible loans, and Zillow Home Loans has simultaneously agreed to repurchase such loans from the Lenders under a specified timeframe at an agreed upon price that includes interest. The master repurchase agreements contain margin call provisions that provide the Lenders with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value of the assets purchased under the master repurchase agreements. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, $151 million and $99 million, respectively, in mortgage loans held for sale were pledged as collateral under the master repurchase agreements. Borrowings on the master repurchase agreements bear interest at a floating rate based on SOFR plus an applicable margin, as defined by the governing agreements. The master repurchase agreements include customary representations and warranties, covenants and provisions regarding events of default. As of December 31, 2024, Zillow Home Loans was in compliance with all financial covenants and no event of default had occurred. The master repurchase agreements are recourse to Zillow Home Loans, and have no recourse to Zillow Group or any of its other subsidiaries. Convertible Senior Notes Effective January 1, 2022, we adopted new guidance which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Upon adoption of the new accounting guidance, we recorded a decrease to additional paid-in capital, an increase to long-term debt and a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit of $156 million. The following tables summarize certain details related to our Notes as of the dates presented or for the periods ended (in millions, except interest rates):
The 2025 Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are classified as current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet based on their contractual maturity date. Interest on the 2025 Notes is paid semi-annually. The estimated fair value of the 2025 Notes is classified as Level 2 and was determined through consideration of quoted market prices in markets that are not active. The 2025 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of Class C capital stock or a combination thereof, at our election, and may be settled as described below. They will mature on May 15, 2025, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. The following table summarizes the conversion and redemption options with respect to the 2025 Notes:
There were no conversions or repurchases of the Notes during the year ended December 31, 2022. See below for conversion and repurchase activity associated with the Notes during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Settlement of 2024 Notes. The 2024 Notes matured on September 1, 2024. During the period from March 1, 2024 through the close of business on August 29, 2024, holders of the 2024 Notes elected to convert all outstanding 2024 Notes in accordance with the terms of the indenture. We settled these conversions with aggregate cash payments totaling $610 million, which included $608 million in principal repayments, $2 million for accrued interest and a nominal cash payment in lieu of fractional shares, and the issuance of 1.9 million shares of Class C capital stock. In September 2024, we received 2.1 million shares of Class C capital stock from the settlement of the capped call transactions we entered into in connection with the issuance of the 2024 Notes. Under applicable Washington State law, the acquisition of a corporation’s own shares is not disclosed separately as treasury stock in the financial statements and such shares are treated as authorized but unissued shares. We record acquisitions of our shares of capital stock as a reduction to capital stock at the par value of the shares reacquired, then to additional paid-in capital until it is depleted to a nominal amount, with any further excess recorded to retained earnings. We recorded an offsetting increase to additional paid-in capital for the unwind of the capped call transactions. 2025 Notes. During the year ended December 31, 2024 and in accordance with our Repurchase Authorizations, we repurchased $88 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes through open market transactions for $89 million in cash, including accrued interest, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1 million recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2023 and in accordance with our Repurchase Authorizations, we repurchased $58 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes through open market transactions for $57 million in cash, including accrued interest, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1 million recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. For additional information on the Repurchase Authorizations, see Note 12 under the subsection titled “Share Repurchase Authorizations.” On or after November 15, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date for the 2025 Notes, holders may convert the 2025 Notes at their option at the applicable Conversion Rate then in effect. Any conversions of the 2025 Notes will be settled on the maturity date. Settlement of 2026 Notes. On October 8, 2024, we submitted notice to the trustee to exercise our right to redeem the remaining $499 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes on December 18, 2024 (the “Redemption Date”). Holders of the 2026 Notes elected to convert $498 million of aggregate principal amount prior to the Redemption Date. We settled these conversions with aggregate cash payments totaling $498 million covering principal and cash in lieu of fractional shares, and the issuance of 4.5 million shares of Class C capital stock. In addition, on the Redemption Date, the Company redeemed the remaining $1 million in aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes that had not been surrendered for conversion at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of 2026 Notes not converted, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such 2026 Notes from September 1, 2024 to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. In connection with the issuance of the 2026 Notes in September 2019, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated capped call transactions. The following table summarizes certain details related to our outstanding capped call transactions as of December 31, 2024:

| Income Taxes | Income Taxes We are subject to income taxes in the United States (federal and state) and certain foreign jurisdictions. We recorded income tax expense of $5 million, $4 million, and $3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022 respectively, primarily due to state taxes. The following table presents the components of our income tax expense for the periods presented (in millions):
The following table presents a reconciliation of the federal statutory rate and our effective tax rate for the periods presented:
Deferred federal, state and foreign income taxes reflect the net tax impact of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts for tax purposes. The following table presents the significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities as of the dates presented (in millions):
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. We have provided a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 because, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance increased by $49 million and $22 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We have accumulated federal net operating losses of approximately $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are available to reduce future taxable income. We have accumulated state net operating losses of approximately $66 million and $56 million (tax effected) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Federal net operating losses generated in taxable periods on or before December 31, 2017 have a twenty-year carryforward period and begin to expire in 2036. Federal net operating loss carryforwards generated in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such net operating loss carryforwards in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020 is limited to 80% of taxable income. State net operating loss carryforward periods for the various state jurisdictions generally range from three years to indefinite-lived and began to expire in 2024. Additionally, we have net research and development credit carryforwards of $205 million and $166 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are available to reduce future tax liabilities. The research and development credit carryforwards begin to expire in 2025. Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change”, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes, such as research and development credits, to offset its post-change taxable income or income tax liability may be limited. We have completed a detailed study and concluded there were multiple ownership changes, triggering the application of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Based on our most recent analysis, we do not currently anticipate any material reduction in our ability to utilize our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards under these rules. Our primary income tax jurisdiction is the United States (federal). With limited exceptions for state taxing authorities, which are not material to the financial statements, all tax years for which we have filed a tax return remain subject to examination due to the existence of net operating loss carryforwards. Changes for unrecognized tax benefits for the periods presented are as follows (in millions):
At December 31, 2024, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits of $115 million is recorded as a reduction to our deferred tax asset when available. We do not anticipate that the amount of existing unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as income tax expense and are not material.

| Share-Based Awards | Share-Based Awards Zillow Group, Inc. 2020 Incentive Plan On June 9, 2020, the Zillow Group, Inc. 2020 Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) became effective, which replaces the Zillow Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”), which became effective July 19, 2011. Subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in the 2020 Plan, a total of 12 million shares of Class C capital stock are authorized for issuance under the 2020 Plan. In addition, shares previously available for new grants under the 2011 Plan as of June 9, 2020 and shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2011 Plan as of June 9, 2020 that on or after that date cease to be subject to such awards (other than by reason of exercise or settlement of the awards in vested or nonforfeitable shares) are also available for issuance under the 2020 Plan. The number of shares authorized under the 2020 Plan will be increased on the first day of each calendar year, beginning January 1, 2021 and ending on and including January 1, 2030, by an amount equal to the lesser of (a) 5% of our outstanding Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C capital stock on a fully diluted basis as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year and (b) a number of shares determined by our Board. Shares issued under the 2020 plan may be issued from authorized and unissued shares of Class C capital stock. The 2020 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”). Under the terms of the 2020 Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant equity awards, including incentive or nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, restricted units, stock appreciation rights, performance shares or performance units to employees, directors and consultants of Zillow Group and its subsidiaries. The Board has also authorized certain senior executive officers to grant equity awards under the 2020 Plan, within limits prescribed by our Board. Options under the 2020 Plan are granted with an exercise price per share not less than 100% of the fair market value of our Class C capital stock on the grant date, with the exception of substituted option awards granted in connection with acquisitions, and are exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Compensation Committee. Any portion of an option that is not vested and exercisable on the date of a participant’s termination of service expires on such date. Employees generally forfeit their rights to exercise vested options three months following their termination of employment or 12 months following termination by reason of death, disability or retirement. Options granted under the 2020 Plan expire no later than ten years from the grant date and typically vest over a period of four years. Restricted stock units granted under the 2020 Plan typically vest over a period of four years. Generally, any portion of a restricted stock unit that is not vested on the date of a participant’s termination of service expires on such date. In addition to the option awards and restricted stock units typically granted under the 2020 Plan which vest quarterly over four years, during the first quarter of 2023, the Compensation Committee approved option and restricted stock unit awards granted under the 2020 Plan in connection with the 2022 annual review cycle that vest quarterly over three years. The exercisability terms of these equity awards are otherwise consistent with the terms of the option awards and restricted stock units typically granted under the 2020 Plan. Zillow Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Incentive Plan Options and restricted stock units that remain outstanding under the 2011 Plan have vesting and exercisability terms consistent with those described above for awards granted under the 2020 Plan. Zillow Group, Inc. 2019 Equity Inducement Plan On August 8, 2019, the 2019 Equity Inducement Plan (“Inducement Plan”) became effective. Subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in the Inducement Plan, 10 million shares of Class C capital stock are available for issuance under the Inducement Plan. Shares issued under the Inducement Plan shall be drawn from authorized and unissued shares of Class C capital stock. The purpose of the Inducement Plan is to attract, retain and motivate certain new employees of the Company and its subsidiaries by providing them the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and to align their interests and efforts to the long-term interests of the Company’s shareholders. Each award under the Inducement Plan is intended to qualify as an employment inducement award pursuant to Listing Rule 5635(c) of the corporate governance rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market. The Inducement Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. Under the terms of the Inducement Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant equity awards, including nonqualified stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units or restricted units to new employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Options under the Inducement Plan are granted with an exercise price per share not less than 100% of the fair market value of our Class C capital stock on the date of grant, with the exception of substituted option awards granted in connection with acquisitions, and are exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Compensation Committee. Any portion of an option that is not vested and exercisable on the date of a participant’s termination of service generally expires on such date. Employees generally forfeit their rights to exercise vested options three months following their termination of employment or 12 months following termination by reason of death, disability or retirement. Options granted under the Inducement Plan expire no later than ten years from the grant date and typically vest over a period of four years. Restricted stock units granted under the Inducement Plan typically vest over a period of four years. In general, any portion of a restricted stock unit that is not vested on the date of a participant’s termination of service expires on such date. Option Award Repricing On August 3, 2022, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board approved adjustments to the exercise price of certain outstanding vested and unvested option awards for eligible employees. The exercise price of eligible option awards was reduced to $38.78, which was the closing market price of our Class C capital stock on August 8, 2022. No other changes were made to the terms and conditions of the eligible option awards. We accounted for the reprice of the eligible option awards as an equity modification whereby the incremental fair value attributable to the repriced option awards, as measured on the date of reprice, has been recognized as additional share-based compensation expense. The reprice impacted 7 million stock option awards, affected 3,348 employees and was expected to result in incremental share-based compensation expense of $66 million in total over the remaining requisite service period of the original awards. The weighted-average total fair value of options repriced in August 2022 was $67.58. Option Awards The following table summarizes option award activity for the year ended December 31, 2024:
The following assumptions were used to determine the fair value of option awards granted for the periods presented:
As of December 31, 2024, there was a total of $217 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested option awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $148 million, $20 million and $13 million, respectively. The fair value of options vested for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $214 million, $215 million and $226 million, respectively.

The total fair value of restricted stock units that vested during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $310 million, $292 million and $247 million, respectively.

| Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share and basic net loss from continuing operations per share are computed by dividing net loss or net loss from continuing operations, as applicable, by the weighted-average number of shares (including Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C capital stock) outstanding during the period. In the calculation of basic net loss per share and basic net loss from continuing operations per share, undistributed earnings are allocated assuming all earnings during the period were distributed. Diluted net loss per share and diluted net loss from continuing operations per share is computed by dividing net loss or net loss from continuing operations, as applicable, by the weighted-average number of shares (including Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C capital stock) outstanding during the period, which is calculated based on net loss from continuing operations, and potentially dilutive Class C capital stock equivalents, except in cases where the effect of the Class C capital stock equivalent would be antidilutive. Potentially dilutive Class C capital stock equivalents consist of stock issuable upon exercise of stock options, stock underlying unvested restricted stock units, and stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding Notes. Class C capital stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and Class C capital stock underlying unvested restricted stock units are calculated using the treasury stock method. We have applied the if-converted method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion of the outstanding Notes on diluted net loss per share and diluted net loss from continuing operations per share, if applicable. The 2025 Notes have a maximum number of 6.2 million underlying shares and a conversion price per share of Class C capital stock of $67.20 based on the aggregate principal amount outstanding as of December 31, 2024. For the periods presented, the following Class C capital stock equivalents were excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share and diluted net loss from continuing operations per share because their effect would have been antidilutive (in thousands):
In the event of liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the Company, the holders of all classes of common and capital stock have equal rights to receive all the assets of the Company after the rights of the holders of preferred stock have been satisfied. We have not presented net loss per share under the two-class method for our Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C capital stock because it would be the same for each class due to equal dividend and liquidation rights for each class.

| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Interest Rate Lock Commitments We have entered into IRLCs with prospective borrowers under our mortgage origination operations whereby we commit to lend a certain loan amount under specific terms and at a specific interest rate to the borrower. These commitments are treated as derivatives and are carried at fair value. For additional information regarding our IRLCs, see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements. Lease Commitments We have entered into various non-cancelable operating lease agreements for certain of our office space and equipment with original lease periods expiring between 2025 and 2032. For additional information regarding our lease agreements, see Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements. Purchase Commitments Purchase commitments primarily include various non-cancelable agreements to purchase content related to our mobile applications and websites and certain cloud computing services. The amounts due for non-cancelable purchase commitments as of December 31, 2024 are as follows (in millions):
Escrow Balances In conducting our title and escrow operations, we routinely hold customers’ assets in escrow, pending completion of real estate transactions, and are responsible for the proper disposition of these balances for our customers. Certain of these amounts are maintained in segregated bank accounts and have not been included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These balances were not material as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Letters of Credit As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we have outstanding letters of credit of approximately $9 million and $11 million, respectively, which secure our lease obligations in connection with certain of our office space operating leases. Surety Bonds In the course of business, we are required to provide financial commitments in the form of surety bonds to third parties as a guarantee of our performance on and our compliance with certain obligations. If we were to fail to perform or comply with these obligations, any draws upon surety bonds issued on our behalf would then trigger our payment obligation to the surety bond issuer. We have outstanding surety bonds issued for our benefit of approximately $15 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Legal Proceedings We are involved in a number of legal proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our business activities, some of which are at preliminary stages and some of which seek an indeterminate amount of damages. We regularly evaluate the status of legal proceedings in which we are involved to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred to determine if accruals are appropriate. We further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made if accruals are not appropriate. For certain cases described below, management is unable to provide a meaningful estimate of the possible loss or range of possible loss because, among other reasons, (i) the proceedings are in preliminary stages; (ii) specific damages have not been sought; (iii) damages sought are, in our view, unsupported and/or exaggerated; (iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (v) there are significant factual issues to be resolved; and/or (vi) there are novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories presented. For these cases, however, management does not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcomes of these proceedings will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow. For the matters discussed below, we have not recorded any material accruals as of December 31, 2024 or 2023. On September 17, 2019, International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleging, among other things, that the Company has infringed and continues to willfully infringe seven patents held by IBM and seeks unspecified damages, including a request that the amount of compensatory damages be trebled, injunctive relief and costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Our motion to transfer venue to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington (the “Court”) was granted on May 28, 2020. On November 25, 2022, Zillow filed a motion to join an Inter Partes Review (“IPR”) petition within Ebates Performance Mktg., Inc. d/b/a Rakuten Rewards v. Int’l Bus. Machs. Corp. (“Rakuten IPR”), IPR2022-00646 concerning one patent in this action, which the Court granted on April 20, 2023. On October 11, 2023, the U.S. Patent and Trial Appeal Board (“PTAB”) ruled on the Rakuten IPR finding the claims of the patent asserted against Zillow unpatentable. IBM appealed the PTAB’s decision on November 21, 2023 (the “PTAB Appeal”), and cross appeals were filed by Ebates Performance Marketing Inc. on November 21, 2023 and by us on December 15, 2023. On March 20, 2024, IBM voluntarily dismissed all claims filed in this action against Zillow with prejudice, with the exception of those pertaining to the patent asserted within the pending PTAB Appeal. On June 21, 2024 we filed our response to the PTAB Appeal. On July 30, 2024, IBM filed its reply in further support of the PTAB Appeal. On September 3, 2024, we filed our reply in further support of our cross-appeal. There is a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred related to this matter; however, the possible loss or range of loss is not estimable. We deny the allegations of any wrongdoing and intend to vigorously defend the claims in the lawsuit. On November 16, 2021, November 19, 2021 and January 6, 2022, three purported class action lawsuits were filed against us and certain of our executive officers, alleging, among other things, violations of federal securities laws on behalf of a class of those who purchased our stock between August 7, 2020 and November 2, 2021. The three purported class action lawsuits, captioned Barua v. Zillow Group, Inc. et al., Silverberg v. Zillow Group, et al. and Hillier v. Zillow Group, Inc. et al. were brought in the Court and were consolidated on February 16, 2022 (the “Federal Securities Suit”). On May 12, 2022, the plaintiffs filed their amended consolidated complaint which alleges, among other things, that we issued materially false and misleading statements regarding our Zillow Offers business. The complaints seek to recover, among other things, alleged damages sustained by the purported class members as a result of the alleged misconduct. On December 7, 2022, the Court rendered its decision granting our previously filed motion to dismiss, in part, and denying the motion, in part. On January 23, 2023, we filed our answer to the consolidated complaint. On March 14, 2024, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification, which was granted on August 23, 2024. On September 6, 2024, we filed a petition for permission to appeal the class certification order, on September 16, 2024, plaintiffs filed their opposition to our petition, and on September 23, 2024, we filed our reply in further support of the petition. On October 24, 2024, the Ninth Circuit issued an order granting Zillow permission to appeal, and on January 8, 2025, we filed our opening brief. On November 1, 2024, the Court issued an order staying the Federal Securities Suit pending the outcome of the appeal. There is a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred related to this matter; however, the possible loss or range of loss is not estimable. We deny the allegations of any wrongdoing and intend to vigorously defend the claims in this consolidated lawsuit. On March 10, 2022, May 5, 2022, July 20, 2022 and October 31, 2024, shareholder derivative suits were filed in the Court and on July 25, 2022, a shareholder derivative suit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of Washington, King County, against us and certain of our executive officers and directors seeking unspecified damages on behalf of the Company and certain other relief, such as reform to corporate governance practices. The plaintiffs (including the Company as a nominal defendant) allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by failing to maintain an effective system of internal controls, which purportedly caused the losses the Company incurred when it decided to wind down Zillow Offers operations. Plaintiffs also allege, among other things, violations of Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, insider trading and waste of corporate assets. On August 23, 2023, a second shareholder derivative suit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of Washington, King County. As of December 31, 2024, these shareholder derivative lawsuits have been stayed by the relevant courts. There is a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred related to this matter; however, the possible loss or range of loss is not estimable. The defendants deny the allegations of any wrongdoing and vigorously defend the claims in these lawsuits. In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time, we are involved in litigation and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although we cannot be certain of the outcome of any such litigation or claims, nor the amount of damages and exposure that we could incur, we currently believe that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flow. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. Indemnifications In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements under which we agree to provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the breach of such agreements and out of intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have agreements that indemnify certain issuers of surety bonds against losses that they may incur as a result of executing surety bonds on our behalf. For our indemnification arrangements, payment may be conditional on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, our obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments. In addition, we have indemnification agreements with certain of our directors and executive officers that require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The terms of such obligations may vary.

| Segment Information | Segment Information Beginning in 2023, our CODM, who is our CEO, began managing our business, making operating decisions and evaluating operating performance on the basis of the company as a whole, instead of on a segment basis. Accordingly, this change resulted in revisions to the nature and substance of information regularly provided to and used by the CODM. This aligned our reported results with our ongoing growth strategy and our intent to provide integrated customer solutions for all tasks and services related to facilitating residential real estate transactions in the United States. As a result, we have determined that we have a single reportable segment. Our CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss) as reported in our consolidated statements of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. The CODM uses net income (loss) to evaluate return on total assets in deciding whether to invest in the development and expansion of our consolidated operations or into strategic transactions, such as acquisitions and capital repurchases. Net income (loss) is also used to monitor budget versus actual results, perform competitive benchmarking analyses, and is considered in evaluating our executives’ compensation.

| Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, and Governance [Line Items] | |
| Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block] | Risk Management, Strategy and Management Oversight We have an enterprise risk management function responsible for the oversight and assessment of ongoing and emerging risks to our business operations and the integrity of our data, including the impact of cybersecurity risks. Our enterprise risk management team maintains a steering committee that oversees and opines on our processes to identify, prioritize and assess key risks, including risks related to cybersecurity. The steering committee is composed of senior leaders with visibility into our key risks. Such members have expertise in the areas of risk management, business strategy, information technology, cybersecurity, legal and compliance, finance, and business products, among others. In partnership with other stakeholders, this steering committee monitors risk exposures, promotes risk-management strategies, and implements acceptance and notification criteria. The activities of the steering committee are overseen by the Audit Committee of our Board (the “Audit Committee”). We also maintain an information security function that oversees the protection of our information assets through a program informed by standards promoted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology cybersecurity framework and the Cyber Risk Institute’s Cyber Profile. These frameworks guide our information security function in designing programs to assess cybersecurity risks and respond to cybersecurity incidents. The information security team is led by a designated Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) who is responsible for leading enterprise-wide cybersecurity strategy, including assessing and managing risks from cybersecurity threats, and implementing technical security controls by maintaining policies, standards and processes. With more than 20 years of experience in the field of technology and cybersecurity, our CISO has had extensive involvement with the information security function and the maintenance of a robust cybersecurity program. Our CISO has held data privacy and information security roles with increasing responsibility in heavily regulated industries such as financial services, technology and gaming and is a certified information systems security professional. The information security team maintains incident response policies and procedures designed to help protect the integrity, availability and confidentiality of information and help prevent loss of service. Additionally, we conduct an annual cybersecurity awareness training to educate our employees and empower them to help prevent and respond to cybersecurity events and incidents. Cybersecurity events and incidents may be reported or detected through a variety of means, including emails to centralized information security addresses, our online information technology ticketing system, automatic alerts and incident detection systems, direct discovery by our information security team, or reports from employees or other third parties. Additionally, our incident response policies and procedures specify the process for initial investigation and containment procedures, remediation tactics, retention of documentation and internal and external communications. Our incident response policies and procedures also specify processes for analyzing the severity of an identified incident. In response to cybersecurity incidents, we may involve external advisors to assist with remediation efforts and communications and we may seek to mitigate associated liabilities through our insurance coverage. Such third parties may include external legal counsel, forensic investigators and public relation firms, among others. These vendors serve to support our existing processes and procedures and operate as an extension of our enterprise risk management and information security functions. Our internal audit team conducts security controls testing over systems in scope for various regulatory and compliance requirements. In addition, management performs periodic third-party risk assessments, vulnerability testing, system and cloud security assessments against our information technology environment. Management also engages third-party external auditors to perform independent testing against all systems in scope for our regulatory and customer-driven compliance obligations. We engage a variety of third-party service providers to process and store data, including certain customer information, some of which may include personally identifiable information. We also depend on third-party service providers to host many of the systems and infrastructure used to provide our products and services. A limited number of third-party services support essential functions of our business, including the use of cloud-based technology. We rely on these third parties to implement their own cybersecurity programs and cannot ensure their effectiveness. To manage cybersecurity risks arising from our use of third parties, we have a third-party service provider management program which includes the use of security questionnaires, review of statements of work and related information security addenda, procuring results of audits and compliance reviews and obtaining overviews of network infrastructure, among others. Depending on the nature of the services provided, the sensitivity of the data at issue and the identity of the third-party, our third-party service provider management process may involve different levels of assessment designed to help identify cybersecurity risks associated with a provider and impose contractual obligations related to cybersecurity on the provider.

The Audit Committee is responsible for ensuring independent examination of management’s programs to identify, assess, respond to and monitor risks, which include those performed by internal audit and third party consultants, among others. Audit Committee member education is provided throughout the year through presentations and discussions led by members of management, third-party consultants, our independent registered public accounting firm and legal counsel, on topics including information security, among others. Members of our Audit Committee have expertise in the technology industry as well as corporate risk management strategies.

| Cybersecurity Risk Process for Informing Management or Committees Responsible [Text Block] | We have an enterprise risk management function responsible for the oversight and assessment of ongoing and emerging risks to our business operations and the integrity of our data, including the impact of cybersecurity risks. Our enterprise risk management team maintains a steering committee that oversees and opines on our processes to identify, prioritize and assess key risks, including risks related to cybersecurity. The steering committee is composed of senior leaders with visibility into our key risks. Such members have expertise in the areas of risk management, business strategy, information technology, cybersecurity, legal and compliance, finance, and business products, among others. In partnership with other stakeholders, this steering committee monitors risk exposures, promotes risk-management strategies, and implements acceptance and notification criteria. The activities of the steering committee are overseen by the Audit Committee of our Board (the “Audit Committee”). We also maintain an information security function that oversees the protection of our information assets through a program informed by standards promoted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology cybersecurity framework and the Cyber Risk Institute’s Cyber Profile. These frameworks guide our information security function in designing programs to assess cybersecurity risks and respond to cybersecurity incidents. The information security team is led by a designated Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) who is responsible for leading enterprise-wide cybersecurity strategy, including assessing and managing risks from cybersecurity threats, and implementing technical security controls by maintaining policies, standards and processes. With more than 20 years of experience in the field of technology and cybersecurity, our CISO has had extensive involvement with the information security function and the maintenance of a robust cybersecurity program. Our CISO has held data privacy and information security roles with increasing responsibility in heavily regulated industries such as financial services, technology and gaming and is a certified information systems security professional. The information security team maintains incident response policies and procedures designed to help protect the integrity, availability and confidentiality of information and help prevent loss of service. Additionally, we conduct an annual cybersecurity awareness training to educate our employees and empower them to help prevent and respond to cybersecurity events and incidents. Cybersecurity events and incidents may be reported or detected through a variety of means, including emails to centralized information security addresses, our online information technology ticketing system, automatic alerts and incident detection systems, direct discovery by our information security team, or reports from employees or other third parties. Additionally, our incident response policies and procedures specify the process for initial investigation and containment procedures, remediation tactics, retention of documentation and internal and external communications. Our incident response policies and procedures also specify processes for analyzing the severity of an identified incident. In response to cybersecurity incidents, we may involve external advisors to assist with remediation efforts and communications and we may seek to mitigate associated liabilities through our insurance coverage. Such third parties may include external legal counsel, forensic investigators and public relation firms, among others. These vendors serve to support our existing processes and procedures and operate as an extension of our enterprise risk management and information security functions.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) |
12 Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Dec. 31, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Zillow Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the accounting for certain revenue offerings, amortization period and recoverability of contract cost assets, website and software development costs, recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets, share-based compensation, income taxes, business combinations, including the initial and subsequent fair value measurements of assets (primarily intangible assets), liabilities and contingent consideration, and the recoverability of goodwill, among others. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected. The health of the housing market and the broader economy may result in additional uncertainty with respect to estimates, judgments and assumptions, which may materially impact the estimates previously listed, among others.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable and mortgage loans held for sale. We place cash and cash equivalents and investments with major financial institutions, which management assesses to be of high credit quality, in order to limit the exposure of our investments to credit risk. Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is dispersed due to the large number of customers. There were no customers that comprised 10% or more of our total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024 or 2023. Further, our credit risk on accounts receivable is mitigated by the relatively short payment terms that we offer. Collateral is not required for accounts receivable. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts such that receivables are stated at net realizable value. Similarly, our credit risk on mortgage loans held for sale is dispersed due to a large number of customers and is mitigated by the fact that we typically sell mortgages on the secondary market within a relatively short period of time after the loan is originated.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash and Cash Equivalents/Restricted Cash | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash includes demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Our cash equivalents represent investments with original maturities of three months or less. We regularly maintain cash in excess of federally insured limits at financial institutions. Restricted Cash Restricted cash primarily consists of amounts held in escrow related to indemnification holdbacks for certain of our acquisitions and amounts used to fund customer home purchases in our mortgage origination business.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Short-term Investments | Short-term Investments Our investments consist of fixed income securities, which include U.S. government treasury securities, investment grade corporate securities, U.S. government agency securities and commercial paper. The investments are available to support current operations and are classified as short-term investments measured at fair value. Our investment policy only allows for purchases of investment-grade securities and provides guidelines on concentrations to ensure minimum risk of loss. We evaluate whether unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities are the result of credit worthiness of the securities held or other non-credit related factors. If an unrealized loss is the result of credit quality factors, we recognize an allowance reflective of our current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial instrument on a specific identification basis upon initial recognition and at each reporting period. If a reduction in value is a result of other factors, we continue to classify the losses in comprehensive loss unless either we intend to sell the security or it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mortgage Loans Held for Sale | Mortgage Loans Held for Sale Mortgage loans held for sale include residential mortgages originated for sale in the secondary market in connection with our mortgage origination business. We have elected the fair value option for all mortgage loans held for sale as election of this option allows for a better offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Mortgage loans held for sale are initially recorded at fair value based on either sale commitments or current market quotes and are adjusted for subsequent changes in fair value until the loans are sold. Net origination costs and fees associated with mortgage loans are recognized as incurred. We sell substantially all of the mortgages we originate and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers. Interest income is earned from the date a mortgage loan is originated until the loan is sold and is classified within other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Generally, mortgage loans originated are sold within a short period of time in the secondary mortgage market on a servicing released, nonrecourse basis, which limits exposure to nonperformance by loan buyer counterparties. However, we remain liable for certain limited representations and warranties related to loan sales, such as non-compliance with defined loan origination or documentation standards, including misstatement in the loan documents, early payoff or default on early payments. Mortgage investors could seek to have us buy back loans or compensate them for losses incurred on mortgages we have sold based on claims that we breached our limited representations and warranties. We record a reserve for probable losses in connection with the sale of mortgage loans within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Loan Commitments and Related Derivatives | Loan Commitments and Related Derivatives We are party to IRLCs, which are extended to borrowers who have applied for loan funding and meet defined credit and underwriting criteria in connection with our Zillow Home Loans mortgage origination business. IRLCs are accounted for as derivative instruments recorded at fair value with gains and losses recognized in revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. We manage our interest rate risk related to IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale through the use of derivative instruments, generally forward contracts on MBSs, which are commitments to either purchase or sell a financial instrument at a future date for a specified price, and mandatory loan commitments, which are an obligation by an investor to buy loans at a specified price within a specified time period. We do not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes, and our derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments. Changes in the fair value of our derivative financial instruments are recognized in revenue in our consolidated statements of operations, and the fair values are reflected in other current assets or other current liabilities, as applicable. Refer to Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding IRLCs and related derivatives. There are no credit-risk-related contingent features within our derivative agreements, and counterparty risk is considered minimal. Gains and losses on IRLCs are substantially offset by corresponding gains or losses on forward contracts on MBSs and mandatory loan commitments. We are generally not exposed to variability in cash flows of derivative instruments for more than approximately 90 days.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Contract Balances/Contract Cost Assets/Revenue Recognition | Contract Balances Accounts receivable represent our unconditional right to consideration. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days and are recorded net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents our estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual life of the accounts receivable. To evaluate the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts each reporting period, we analyze the accounts receivable balances with similar risk characteristics on a collective basis, considering factors such as the aging of receivable balances, payment terms, historical loss experience, current information and future expectations. Changes to the allowance for doubtful accounts are adjusted through credit loss expense, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Contract assets represent our right to consideration in exchange for goods and services that we have transferred to the customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets are primarily related to our Premier Agent Flex, Zillow Lease Connect and StreetEasy Experts offerings, whereby we estimate variable consideration based on the expected number of real estate transactions to be closed for Premier Agent Flex and StreetEasy Experts, and qualified leases to be secured for Zillow Lease Connect. We recognize revenue when we satisfy our performance obligations under the corresponding contracts. The current portion of contract assets are recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and the long-term portion of contract assets are recorded within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, which relates to payments received in advance of performance under a revenue contract. Deferred revenue is primarily related to prepaid advertising fees received or billed in advance of satisfying our performance obligations and prepaid but unrecognized subscription revenue. Deferred revenue is recognized when or as we satisfy our obligations under contracts with customers. Contract Cost Assets We capitalize certain incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers which we expect to recover. These costs relate to commissions paid to sales personnel, primarily for our Premier Agent and Rentals products. As a practical expedient, we recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. Capitalized commission costs are recorded as contract cost assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Contract cost assets are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over a period that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the products or services to which the asset relates, generally the estimated life of the customer relationship. Amortization expense related to contract cost assets is included in sales and marketing expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. In determining the estimated life of our customer relationships, we consider quantitative and qualitative data, including, but not limited to, historical customer data, recent changes or expected changes in product or service offerings and changes in how we monetize our products and services. We monitor our contract cost assets for impairment and recognize an impairment loss in the consolidated statements of operations to the extent the carrying amount of the asset recognized exceeds the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in the future and that we have received but have not recognized in revenue less the costs that relate directly to providing those goods or services that have not yet been recognized as expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we did not record any material impairment losses to our contract cost assets. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue when or as we satisfy our performance obligations by transferring control of the promised products or services to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those products or services. As a practical expedient, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component, as the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service is generally one year or less, with the exception of certain of our pay for performance products, including Premier Agent Flex and StreetEasy Experts, whereby we may not receive payment for services provided for up to two years after control of the promised products or services is transferred to our customers. In these cases, however, because a substantial portion of the consideration is variable, we have concluded the contracts do not include a significant financing component. We do not disclose the transaction price related to remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for performance completed to date. The remaining duration over which we satisfy our performance obligations is generally less than one year. We disaggregate our revenue into the following categories: Residential, Rentals, Mortgages and Other, described below. Our “For Sale revenue” subtotal includes our Residential and Mortgages revenue categories and represents our revenue from participation in residential real estate purchase and sale transactions. Residential. Residential revenue includes revenue generated by our Premier Agent and new construction marketplaces, as well as revenue from the sale of advertising and business technology solutions for real estate professionals through ShowingTime+, StreetEasy for-sale product offerings, and Follow Up Boss. Our Premier Agent program offers a suite of marketing and technology products and services to help real estate agents and brokers achieve their advertising goals while growing and managing their businesses and brands. The marketing and business technology products and services promised to Premier Agent partners are delivered over time, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the performance obligations. Premier Agent advertising products, which include the delivery of validated customer connections, or leads, are offered on a share of voice (“market-based pricing”) and pay for performance basis. Connections are delivered when consumer contact information is provided to Premier Agent partners. We do not promise any minimum or maximum number of connections to customers, but instead control when and how many connections to deliver based on a customer’s share of voice. A Premier Agent partners’ share of voice in a zip code is determined by their proportional monthly prepaid spend in that zip code as a percentage of the total monthly prepaid spend of all Premier Agent partners in that zip code, and determines the proportion of connections a Premier Agent partner receives. The number of connections delivered for a given spend level is dynamic; as demand for advertising in a zip code increases or decreases, the number of connections delivered to a Premier Agent partner in that zip code decreases or increases accordingly. We recognize revenue related to Premier Agent market-based pricing products and services based on the monthly prepaid spend recognized on a straight-line basis during the monthly billing period over which the products and services are provided. This methodology best depicts how we satisfy our performance obligations to customers, as we continuously transfer control of the performance obligations to the customer over time. We have not allocated the transaction price to each performance obligation within our Premier Agent market-based pricing arrangements, as the amounts recognized would be the same irrespective of any allocation. Our pay for performance pricing model is called “Flex” and is available in certain markets to select partners. With the Flex model, Premier Agent partners are provided with leads at no initial cost and pay a performance advertising fee only when a real estate transaction is closed with one of the leads, generally within two years. With this pricing model, the transaction price represents variable consideration, as the amount to which we expect to be entitled varies based on the number of leads that convert into real estate transactions and the value of those transactions. We estimate variable consideration and record revenue as our performance obligations, or leads, are transferred. We do not believe that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur once the uncertainty related to the number of transactions closed is subsequently resolved. We record a contract asset for our estimate of the consideration to which we will be entitled when the right to the consideration is conditional. When the right to consideration becomes unconditional, upon the close of a real estate transaction, we reclassify amounts to accounts receivable. Revenue from ShowingTime+ encompasses several products and services including Dotloop, ShowingTime, Zillow Showcase and Listing Media Services. Dotloop is a real estate transaction management SaaS solution. ShowingTime primarily generates revenue through Appointment Center, which is a SaaS and call center solution allowing real estate agents, brokerages and multiple listing services to efficiently schedule real estate viewing appointments on behalf of their customers. Both Dotloop and Appointment Center revenue are primarily billed monthly in advance and recognized ratably over the contract period, aligning to the satisfaction of our performance obligations. ShowingTime+ revenue also includes revenue generated from Zillow Showcase, an advertising and marketing solution which allows real estate agents to advertise an enhanced listing on Zillow’s mobile applications and websites. Customers pay for Zillow Showcase credits upfront. We recognize revenue by measuring our progress towards satisfaction of our performance obligations, primarily the enhanced listing features, using the output method of results achieved. ShowingTime+ revenue also includes Listing Media Services, a real estate photography and rich media platform. Customers typically pay for Listing Media Services upfront at the time of scheduling their appointment with a photographer. We recognize revenue at a point in time upon transfer of control of the media purchased to our customers. Our new construction marketing solutions allow home builders to showcase their available inventory to home shoppers. New construction revenue primarily includes revenue generated by advertising sold to builders on a cost per residential community basis whereby we recognize revenue on a straight-line basis during the contractual period over which the communities are advertised on our mobile applications and websites. New construction revenue also includes revenue generated on a cost per impression basis whereby we recognize revenue as impressions are delivered to users interacting with our mobile applications and websites, which is the amount for which we have the right to invoice. Consideration for new construction products is billed in arrears. StreetEasy for-sale revenue primarily consists of our StreetEasy Experts and StreetEasy subscription offerings. StreetEasy Experts is our pay for performance pricing model available in the New York City market for which agents and brokers are provided with leads at no initial cost and pay a performance referral fee only when a real estate purchase transaction is closed with one of the leads. Under the StreetEasy Experts pricing model, the transaction price represents variable consideration, as the amount to which we expect to be entitled varies based on the number of leads that convert into real estate transactions and the value of those transactions. We estimate variable consideration based on the expected number of closed transactions during the period. We do not believe that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur once the uncertainty related to the number of transactions closed is subsequently resolved. We record a corresponding contract asset for the estimate of variable consideration for StreetEasy Experts when the right to the consideration is conditional. When the right to consideration becomes unconditional upon the close of a real estate transaction, we reclassify amounts to accounts receivable. Revenue generated through StreetEasy subscription offerings includes the sale of advertising and a suite of tools to developers, property managers, agents and other real estate professionals. StreetEasy subscription customers pay in advance on a cost per property basis, based on the property size and product tier. We recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the contractual listing period which aligns to our satisfaction of performance obligations. Follow Up Boss is a SaaS solution allowing real estate agents, teams and brokerages to manage real estate leads from the initial contact through the home buying or selling process. Follow Up Boss revenue is primarily billed in advance on a monthly basis and recognized ratably over the contract period, aligning to the satisfaction of our performance obligations. Rentals. Rentals revenue includes the sale of advertising and a suite of tools to rental professionals, landlords and other market participants under the Zillow and StreetEasy brands. Rentals revenue includes revenue generated by advertising sold to property managers, landlords and other rental professionals on a cost per lead, lease, listing or impression basis or for a fixed fee for certain advertising packages. We recognize revenue as leads, clicks and impressions are provided to rental professionals, or as rental listings are published on our mobile applications and websites, which is the amount for which we have the right to invoice. We bill our fixed fee rentals products monthly in arrears and recognize revenue ratably over the contract period, aligning to the satisfaction of our performance obligations. The number of leases generated through our rentals pay per lease product, Zillow Lease Connect, during the period is accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate the amount of consideration based on the expected number of qualified leases secured during the period. We do not believe that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur once the uncertainty related to the number of leases secured is subsequently resolved. We record a contract asset for the estimate of variable consideration for Zillow Lease Connect when the right to the consideration is conditional. When the right to consideration becomes unconditional upon the execution of a lease, we reclassify amounts to accounts receivable. Rentals revenue also includes revenue generated from our rental applications product, through which potential renters can submit applications to multiple properties for a flat service fee. Rental applications customers pay upfront and we recognize revenue ratably over the contractual period during which the customer has the right to access and submit the rental application. Mortgages. Mortgages revenue primarily includes revenue generated by Zillow Home Loans, our affiliated mortgage lender, and marketing products sold to mortgage professionals on a cost per lead basis, including our Custom Quote and Connect services. Mortgage origination revenue reflects origination fees on purchase or refinance mortgages and the corresponding sale, or expected future sale, of a loan. When an IRLC is made to a customer, we record the expected gain on sale of the mortgage, plus the estimated earnings from the expected sale of the associated servicing rights, adjusted for a pull-through percentage (which is defined as the likelihood that an IRLC will be originated), as revenue. Revenue from loan origination fees is recognized at the time the related purchase or refinance transactions are completed, usually upon the close of escrow and when we fund the purchase or refinance mortgage loans. Once funded, mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at fair value based on either sale commitments or current market quotes and are adjusted for subsequent changes in fair value until the loan is sold. Origination costs associated with originating mortgage loans are recognized as incurred. We generally sell the mortgages we originate and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers. Mortgage loans are sold with limited recourse provisions, which can result in repurchases of loans previously sold to investors or payments to reimburse investors for loan losses. Based on historical experience, discussions with our mortgage purchasers, analysis of the volume of mortgages we originated and current housing and credit market conditions, we estimate and record a loss reserve for mortgage loans held for sale, as well as known and projected mortgage loan repurchase requests. These have historically not been significant to our financial statements. Zillow Group operates Custom Quote and Connect through its wholly owned subsidiary, Zillow Group Marketplace, Inc., a licensed mortgage broker. For our Connect and Custom Quote cost per lead marketing products, participating qualified mortgage professionals typically make a prepayment to gain access to consumers interested in connecting with mortgage professionals. Mortgage professionals who exhaust their initial prepayment prepay additional funds to continue to participate in the marketplace. For our cost per lead mortgages products, we recognize revenue when a user contacts a mortgage professional through our mortgages platform, which corresponds directly to the value of our performance. Other. Other revenue primarily includes revenue generated from display products, which consist of graphical mobile and web advertising sold on a cost per thousand impressions or cost per click basis to advertisers promoting their brands on our mobile applications and websites. We recognize revenue as clicks occur or as impressions are delivered to users interacting with our mobile applications or websites, which is the amount for which we have the right to invoice. There were no customers that generated 10% or more of our total revenue in the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 or 2022. Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue consists of expenses related to operating our mobile applications and websites, including associated headcount-related expenses, such as salaries, benefits, bonuses and share-based compensation expense, as well as revenue-sharing costs related to our commercial business relationships, depreciation expense, and costs associated with hosting our mobile applications and websites. Cost of revenue also includes amortization costs related to capitalized website and development activities, amortization of software, amortization of certain intangible assets and other costs to obtain data used to populate our mobile applications and websites, and amortization of certain intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions, including developed technology. Cost of revenue also includes credit card fees and ad serving costs paid to third parties, direct costs to provide our rental applications product, and direct costs to originate loans, including underwriting and processing costs. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist of advertising costs and other sales expenses related to promotional and marketing activities, headcount-related expenses, including salaries, commissions, benefits, bonuses and share-based compensation expense for sales, sales support, customer support, including the customer connections team and mortgage loan officers and specialists, marketing and public relations employees, depreciation expense and amortization of certain intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions, including trade names and trademarks and customer relationships. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The useful lives are as follows:
Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major improvements, which extend the useful life of the related asset, are capitalized. Upon disposal of a fixed asset, we record a gain or loss based on the difference between the proceeds received and the net book value of the disposed asset. We remove fully depreciated property and equipment from the cost and accumulated depreciation amounts disclosed.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Website and Software Development Costs | Website and Software Development Costs Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of website and software development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental and deemed by management to be significant, are capitalized in property and equipment and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Maintenance and enhancement costs, including those costs in the post-implementation stages, are typically expensed as incurred, unless such costs relate to substantial upgrades and enhancements to the website or software that result in added functionality, in which case the costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense related to capitalized website and software development costs is included in cost of revenue in our consolidated statements of operations. Capitalized development activities placed in service are amortized over the expected useful lives of those releases, currently estimated at to five years. The estimated useful lives of website and software development activities are reviewed frequently and adjusted as appropriate to reflect upcoming development activities that may include significant upgrades and/or enhancements to the existing functionality. We remove fully amortized website and software development costs from the cost and accumulated amortization amounts disclosed. Construction-in-progress primarily consists of website and software development costs that are capitalizable, but for which the associated applications have not been placed in service.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Leases | Leases Our lease portfolio is primarily composed of operating leases for our office space. We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. Our operating leases are included in right of use assets and lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. We do not have any material financing leases. Right of use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Right of use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the total lease payments contracted but not yet paid, including lease incentives not yet received, with the right of use assets further adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, lease incentives received and/or initial direct costs incurred. We have lease agreements that include both lease components (e.g., fixed rent) and non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance). For such leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component. Certain lease arrangements also include variable payments for costs such as common-area maintenance, utilities, taxes or other operating costs, which are based on a percentage of actual expenses incurred or a fluctuating rate which is unknown at the inception of the contract. These variable lease payments are excluded from the measurement of the right of use assets and lease liabilities. Our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to eight years, most of which include one or more options to extend the lease term. The renewal options can generally extend the lease term for up to an additional to ten years. When determining if a renewal option is reasonably certain of being exercised at lease commencement, we consider several factors, including but not limited to, contract-based, asset-based and entity-based factors. We reassess the term of existing leases if there is a significant event or change in circumstances within our control that affects whether we are reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease. Examples of such events or changes include construction of significant leasehold improvements or other modifications or customizations to the underlying asset, relevant business decisions or subleases. As of December 31, 2024, we have concluded that our renewal options are not reasonably certain of being exercised, therefore, renewal options are not included in the right of use assets and lease liabilities. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. We apply a portfolio approach for determining the incremental borrowing rate based on the applicable lease terms and the current economic environment. We recognize lease expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are generally recognized when incurred. For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, we recognize the associated lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. These expenses are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Recoverability of Goodwill | Recoverability of Goodwill Goodwill is measured as the excess of consideration transferred for an acquired business over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, and is not amortized. We assess the impairment of goodwill at the reporting unit level on an annual basis, in our fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. In our evaluation of goodwill, we initially perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of each reporting unit is greater than its fair value. If it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit is greater than its fair value, we perform a quantitative assessment and an impairment charge is recorded in our statements of operations if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Beginning in 2023, our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is our chief executive officer (“CEO”), began managing our business, making operating decisions and evaluating operating performance on the basis of the company as a whole, instead of on a segment basis as he did prior to 2023. This aligns to our ongoing growth strategy and our intent to provide integrated customer solutions for all tasks and services related to facilitating real estate transactions. This resulted in revisions to the nature and substance of information regularly provided to and used by the CODM. Accordingly, in 2023, we realigned our operating structure, resulting in a single operating and reportable segment. In line with this, the nature and substance of the information regularly provided to our segment management similarly changed, and we determined that we had only one reporting unit. Because the segment change impacted the structure of our reporting units, we performed a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment immediately before and immediately after the change in reporting units. Based on those assessments, we determined it was more likely than not that the fair value of our current and legacy reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. Therefore, we concluded that it was not necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test.

| Intangible Assets/Recoverability of Intangible Assets with Definite Lives and Other Long-Lived Assets | Intangible Assets We purchase and license data content from multiple data providers. This data content consists of United States county data about home details and other information relating to the purchase price of homes, both current and historical, as well as imagery, mapping and parcel data that is displayed on our mobile applications and websites. In some instances, we retain perpetual rights to this information after our contract with a vendor ends; in other instances, the information and data are licensed only during the fixed term of the agreement. Additionally, certain data license agreements provide for uneven payment amounts throughout the contract term. We capitalize payments made to third parties for data licenses that we expect to recover through generation of revenue and margins. For data license contracts that include uneven payment amounts, we capitalize the payments as they are made as an intangible asset and the total contract value is typically amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, which is equivalent to the estimated useful life of the asset. The amortization period for the capitalized purchased content is based on our best estimate of the useful life of the asset, which ranges from to seven years. Under certain other data agreements, the underlying data is obtained on a subscription basis with consistent monthly or quarterly recurring payment terms over the contractual period. Upon the expiration of such arrangements, we no longer have the right to access the related data, and therefore, the costs incurred under such contracts are not capitalized and are expensed as payments are made. We also capitalize costs related to the license of certain internal-use software from third parties, including certain licenses of software in cloud computing arrangements. Additionally, we capitalize costs incurred during the application development stage related to the development of internal-use software and enterprise cloud computing services. We expense costs as incurred related to the planning and post-implementation phases of development. Capitalized internal-use software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is currently to five years. Intangibles-in-progress consist of purchased content and software that are capitalizable but have not been placed in service. We also have intangible assets for developed technology, customer relationships, and trade names and trademarks which we recorded in connection with acquisitions. Purchased intangible assets with a determinable economic life are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. These intangible assets are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis. For each of the intangible assets described above, we have removed fully amortized assets from the cost and accumulated amortization amounts disclosed. Recoverability of Intangible Assets with Definite Lives and Other Long-Lived Assets We evaluate intangible assets and other long-lived assets, including our lease right of use assets, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated. We group assets for purposes of such review at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows of the asset group are largely independent of the cash flows of the other groups of assets and liabilities. If this comparison indicates impairment, the amount of impairment to be recognized is calculated as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset group.

| Business Combinations | Business Combinations We recognize identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While we use our best estimates and assumptions for the preliminary purchase price allocation process to value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill to the extent that we identify adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations. We recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. We record contingent consideration at its preliminary estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. The current portion of contingent consideration is recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and the long-term portion is recorded within other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period. Measurement period adjustments, if any, to the preliminary estimated fair value as of the acquisition date are recorded to goodwill during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. Changes in fair value as a result of updated assumptions after the acquisition date are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

| Technology and Development | Technology and Development. Technology and development expenses consist of headcount-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and share-based compensation expense for individuals engaged in the design, development and testing of our products, mobile applications and websites and the tools and applications that support our products. Technology and development expenses also include equipment and software maintenance costs and depreciation expense. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded in technology and development expenses.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation. We measure compensation expense for all share-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the service period on a straight-line basis for awards expected to vest. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to determine the fair value for option awards. In valuing our option awards, we make assumptions about risk-free interest rates, dividend yields, volatility and weighted-average expected lives. We account for forfeitures as they occur. Risk-free interest rates are derived from U.S. Treasury securities as of the option award grant date. Expected dividend yield is based on our historical cash dividend payments, which have been zero to date. The expected volatility for our Class C capital stock is estimated using our historical volatility. The weighted-average expected life of the option awards is estimated based on our historical exercise data. When determining the grant date fair value of share-based awards, management considers whether an adjustment is required to the observable market price or volatility of the Company’s Class C capital stock used in the valuation as a result of material non-public information. For issuances of restricted stock units, we determine the fair value of the award based on the market value of our Class C capital stock, as applicable, at the date of grant.

| Impairment and Restructuring Costs | Impairment and Restructuring Costs. From time to time, we record impairment costs within impairment and restructuring costs in our consolidated statements of operations. See Note 9 for additional information on the impairment costs recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024. The main components of our restructuring costs recorded within impairment and restructuring costs in our consolidated statements of operations relate to employee termination costs, contract termination costs, and charges attributable to the wind down of Zillow Offers operations and additional cost actions to streamline our operations and prioritize investments. One-time employee termination benefits are recognized when the plan of termination has been communicated to employees and certain other criteria are met. Other severance and employee costs, primarily pertaining to ongoing employee benefit arrangements, are recognized when it is probable that the employees are entitled to the severance benefits and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Contract termination costs are recognized when a contract is terminated in accordance with its terms or at the cease-use date. Asset write-offs are recognized upon their cease-use date. The cumulative effect of a change resulting from a revision to either the timing or the amount of estimated cash flows for restructuring is recognized as an adjustment to the liability in the period of the change.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes We use the asset and liability approach for accounting and reporting income taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the applicable enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets would be established if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some or all of the deferred tax assets are not expected to be realized. We establish reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, new tax legislation or the change of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as income tax expense.

| Recently Adopted Accounting Standards And Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance to improve existing disclosure requirements for segment reporting, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and new disclosure requirements applicable to entities with a single reportable segment. We adopted this guidance on a retrospective basis for the annual period ended December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 19 for additional information related to our segment information disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance the income tax rate reconciliation disclosure requirements and to provide clarity on disclosure requirements for income taxes. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt this guidance for the annual period ending December 31, 2025. While we anticipate this guidance will result in additional disclosures related to income taxes, we do not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance that will require disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses included within an entity’s consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We have not yet determined the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

| Fair Value Measurements | We apply fair value measurements on a recurring and, as otherwise required, on a nonrecurring basis. Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standards also establish a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: •Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. •Level 2 — Assets and liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities. •Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity; instruments valued based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed, and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require. We apply the following methods and assumptions in estimating our fair value measurements: Cash equivalents — The fair value measurement of money market funds is based on quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1). The fair value measurement of other cash equivalents is based on observable market-based inputs principally derived from or corroborated by observable market data (Level 2). Short-term investments — The fair value measurement of our short-term investments is based on observable market-based inputs or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (Level 2). Restricted cash — The carrying value of restricted cash approximates fair value due to the short period of time that amounts are held in escrow (Level 1). Mortgage loans held for sale — The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is generally calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to sell mortgage loans with similar characteristics (Level 2). Forward contracts — The fair value of mandatory loan sales commitments and derivative instruments such as forward sales of MBSs that are utilized as economic hedging instruments is calculated by reference to quoted prices for similar assets (Level 2). Contingent consideration — In December 2023, Zillow Group acquired Follow Up Boss for $399 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and contingent consideration of up to $100 million, payable over a three-year period upon achievement of certain performance metrics. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation which considers the probabilities of the achievement of certain performance metrics (Level 3). The discount rates used in our valuation of contingent consideration are based on our estimated cost of debt and are directly related to the fair value of contingent consideration. An increase in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. Conversely, a decrease in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in an increase in the fair value measurement. The probabilities of achieving the relevant performance metrics used in our valuation of contingent consideration are directly related to the fair value of contingent consideration, as an increase in the probability, in isolation, would result in an increase in the fair value measurement. Conversely, a decrease in the probability, in isolation, would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. During the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no material changes in the unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of contingent consideration. See Note 6 for additional details on our contingent consideration. The following table presents the range and weighted average unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of contingent consideration as of December 31, 2024:
IRLCs — The fair value of IRLCs is calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to sell mortgage loans with similar characteristics. Expired commitments are excluded from the fair value measurement. Since not all IRLCs will become closed loans, we adjust our fair value measurements for the estimated amount of IRLCs that will not close. This adjustment is effected through the pull-through rate, which represents the probability that an IRLC will ultimately result in a closed loan. For IRLCs that are cancelled or expire, any recorded gain or loss is reversed at the end of the commitment period (Level 3). The pull-through rate is based on estimated changes in market conditions, loan stage and historical borrower behavior. Pull-through rates are directly related to the fair value of IRLCs as an increase in the pull-through rate, in isolation, would result in an increase in the fair value measurement. Conversely, a decrease in the pull-through rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. Changes in the fair value of IRLCs are included within revenue in our consolidated statements of operations.
