Zillow is upgrading its AI search feature with the ability to find homes or rentals based on how far away they are from your office, school, or other points of interest. Instead of narrowing your search by selecting specific locations or filters, you can now simply enter, “Homes 30 min drive from Millennium Park.”
Zillow’s upgraded AI search will show you more homes you can’t afford
Now you can ask the app to find homes within 30 minutes of your commute and other points of interest.

This will be very handy for people like me. I’m always searching for dream homes in spots that I’m not familiar with, and now I’ll be able to search for “homes near Disney World” rather than casting a huge net over the entirety of Orlando.
Zillow will also let you search for homes to buy or rent based on affordability, such as “Seattle homes under $4,000 monthly.” Zillow first rolled out AI search last year, allowing you to look for homes by describing their layout, location, style, condition, and more. But this update gives you more specific ways to peruse listings based on proximity to certain locations and pricing.
Zillow says its enhanced search feature “takes users’ queries and scans millions of listing details to bring relevant results to the surface” while also training AI models to “better respond to search queries that use natural, human-like sentences.” It’s rolling out to Zillow’s iOS and Android apps now, with support on Zillow’s website coming soon.
