A prompt to build your own version of Zillow

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Zillow-style app, first version

Build an iPhone app for people looking for homes to buy or rent. The main screen should show a search field, a Buy or Rent switch, and home cards with photos, prices, bedrooms, and addresses. Let me filter by price and bedrooms and switch between a list and a map. Tapping a card or map pin should open a detail page with photos, property facts, and a clearly labeled sample price estimate. Add a heart button to save homes on the device and a Saved tab to find them again. Use a clean white design with navy text and teal accents. Include realistic sample listings in one city, with fictional addresses and clearly marked sample estimates.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Zillow won't have

Zillow brings together established listing partnerships, its own home valuation data, and a large network of agents and landlords.

  • Zillow's listing partner agreements
  • Zillow's historical valuation data
  • Established agent and landlord network
  • Owner submitted property details
