Zillow's index is a measure of the value of single-family residences, condominiums and units in housing cooperatives, regardless of whether those homes sold within a given period. The index is calculated using Zillow's method for estimating home values in a given geographic area on a given day. The index is based on data from more than 80 million homes, Zillow says.
