Dunno, but their values are so fake that the FTC is suing them for deceptive trade practices.

Once they hatched their idea, they needed a name. "Zillow" evolved from the desire to make zillions of data points for homes accessible to everyone. But a home is about more than data - it is where you lay your head to rest at night, like a pillow. Thus, "Zillow" was born. They knew they had a winning name when employees began talking in Z-language and newly-minted words starting with "Z" popped up everywhere (e.g., Zestimateâ¢, Zindexâ¢).

The above answer is correct, I have heard it from the Zillow guys' mouths directly.
