Yeah so most of these online home listing sites like Zillow use some third party school ratings API. The one Zillow uses is GreatSchools.
Almost all the home listing sites allow sorting/filtering by properties that are inherent to the home such as size, price, location, number of bedrooms etc.
If you select any given home based on search criteria from the properties mentioned above, data is presented to you on that home such as school rating or even property tax information.
This sounds reasonable because you never selected the home based on a school rating.
I’m trying to figure out if choosing a home based on school rating is considered steering and hence why these sites don’t allow one to sort/filter by school rating, for example.
To say I’m impressed by the video and more specifically the algorithm would be the understatement of the century. This is amazing. Please let me buy one :)
The article references Crashalytics and MixPanel as third party services where the data is sent. Aren’t those just tools for error logging and usage measurement? Not sure about the others though.
