The digital real estate platform reported a 14% increase in revenue from its For Sale business segment.

Beyond operational results, the company returned capital to shareholders through share repurchases. Zillow bought back $200 million worth of its stock during the period. This move reduces the number of shares outstanding and comes as the company navigates a shifting housing market landscape.

The growth in the Mortgage segment suggests increased engagement from users utilizing the platform to secure financing, while the steady increase in For Sale revenue indicates continued activity in its home buying and selling ecosystem.
