AI Insights:
Zillow is the real estate app everyone uses, staffed by people who love their home offices almost as much as they love avoiding work. WLB is great if you define great as nothing gets done but nobody yells at you. Leadership churns through reorgs like a Zestimate chasing the market, and the stock has all the upward momentum of a fixer-upper in a flood zone.
