The company said the layoffs are performance-based and part of its typical annual review process. Zillow has about the same number of open positions for employees.
Zillow has laid off about 200 employees in recent weeks as part of performance-related job cuts, Inman said.
At the same time, there are approximately the same number of job openings on the portal, indicating that layoffs are not part of cost-cutting measures.
A Zillow spokesperson acknowledged the size and nature of the layoffs and said the layoffs were not concentrated in any particular division of the company. A spokesperson said the changes are part of the company’s typical annual review process.

Zillow has about 7,000 employees, and while the layoffs represent about 3% of its workforce, Zillow doesn’t appear to be shrinking in size. Because the move involved performance-related layoffs, rather than mass layoffs, which required 60 days’ notice to affected employees, the portal was not required to issue a warning notice in advance.
The company has 201 job openings posted. Nearly half of those positions are in the company’s mortgage division, showing that Zillow remains focused on its fastest-growing revenue segment, even though the division is under legal scrutiny.
Its growth is spreading across the country. Zillow currently has open positions listed in 37 states and Washington, DC. Zillow’s mortgage division saw revenue increase 36% in the third quarter of 2025, the latest snapshot of the company’s performance.
The company also has several open positions in its rental division, which was the division with the fastest revenue growth of 41%.
The company has 24 open positions in its software development department. Ten of those companies are based in Mexico.
