Maybe, but I was under the impression that Redfin/Trulia/Realtor.com would have the same information.

Also, unless Zillow started imposing confidentiality agreements on their bids, then competing buyers would just have to bid $1 more without their dataset, right?

Zillow is the largest aggregator. They own Trulia. I can squint and see the thought process here by Zillow, though execution, as evident, did not go as planned.

I somehow missed they had bought Trulia way back when.
