Hello to everybody, we would like to welcome you to our newest and most exciting online service: The Zilpy Blog!
The Zilpy team has been swinging the blog idea for a couple of months now and after much brain cycles (and of course Redbull) we decided to bring it out to life.
I must agree, I am not a blogger (hence ask for your patience), but everybody in Zilpy pushed me in front to write a foreword. After hearing hard to dismiss arguments such as: Nobody writes best, you are the CEO so launch it, and the same, I crossed my fingers and started typing.
Ok, what is the idea behind Zilpy Blog?
For the past several months we have been aggregating a huge amount of rental market data, and this process is growing every day. We have over 2 mil rentals that cover the past 12 months alone, thanks to our over 430 partners who provide us with data nationwide. The data covers virtually all USA and serves as source of numerous analytics and trends that you can see on www.zilpy.com.
As they say “with great power comes great responsibility“, looking at the huge amount of data, we took our role very serious to keeping you accurately and up to the minute informed; whether you are a renter, landlord, real estate investor, real estate professional, media reporter and all who have an interest in the housing market.
Everybody is now more or less used to waiting for “quarterly” rental market reports to read the latest trends, but I personally take great pride in Zilpy Geeks who have made it possible to see these trends in real time and crunch tens of thousands of rentals every day to fuel these analytics. Not only we compute them, but this week it we made it possible for any website to display them for free in form of Rent Trend Widgets (http://www.zilpy.com/widgets), a simple copy paste of some HTML code.
So, what is that we want with the blog after all? Our goal is to win your trust that Zilpy is the leading source providing accurate reports and analytics on multiple aspects and trends of the rental market. We also invite you to share your opinions and make your voice heard, we want to bring transparency to the market, to empower you to make the best decisions to rent, invest or wherever your steps take you onto your journeys.
