Matterport Tours on Zillow!?12494

I usually provide both a Matterport Tour and a Zillow 3D home for my clients. Recently checking to see that the 3D home was published on Zillow, I noticed a link to view a “virtual tour” on the main photo. Clicking on it opened my Matterport Tour in a new window.

How long has Zillow offered this? I’m guessing they pulled the Matterport from MLS?

There is simply no reason for me to continue creating 3D Homes using Zillow’s app if they will show my Matterport on the listing. The only advantage I can now see for a Zillow 3D home is the fact that it shows up on their map, which makes it stand out from nearby properties without one.

Has anyone else noticed Zillow allowing Matterport onto their site?

Here is an example of what I’m describing...

Maybe Zillow will acquire Matterport?

I’m newer but I believe they used to show the link towards the top but then when they started to do Zillow 3D the matterport link was hidden in the property details. Hard to find unless you knew where to look.

They must have just updated the matterport tour back to the top because I know it wasn’t there when I listed a property a month ago but it’s there now. Yay!!

I don't see the virtual tour link, at least when I open the link on the Zillow App on my Android phone.

(But I do see it when I open it on my computer in my browser!)

@craigsauer I had the same issue on another listing. However, the link above is showing up on my IPhone though.

Screen Grab: For the Matterport Tour, click on the link in the top left corner - View Virtual Tour - in this example provided by @8643d in the discussion at the top.

@8643d Cool! Thanks for being the first to report this (exciting) news in the WGAN Forum.

Best,

Dan

Funny strange....
I don't see the upper left box "View Tour" in my Chrome browser on PC.
But see it in every other browser on PC.

And I don't see it in any browser on my iPhone.
I'll try dumping cache to see if that helps.

Interesting... I don't see that button with any browser looking at that address. Wonder what's driving on your desktop.

Hi All,

I wonder if View Virtual Tour (pointing to Matterport) is a limited test?

I looked at a Zillow listing in St. Simons Island, Georgia - that had a Matterport tour done - but do not see this View Virtual Tour link in the top left.

Hmmmmmmmmm......

I was hoping others on here maybe had more information on this. I think I will try reaching out to Zillow to get some clarity on this new feature. They have been pretty good at responding in the past.

I saw the same thing - that's great I was thinking like everyone else! Later looking again, it was gone.

And even if it's a test, and which seems like most views were on a desktop, Matterport tours shine on the big screen.

It’s still up on my real estate listing on desktop site for safari. Doesn’t show up on the app.

Very interesting! Strangely, I don't see the Zillow3D tour anywhere on that page? So Zillow bumpred their own product to push Matterport? I wonder if it is an A/B test to see which has more clicks/stickiness?
