Analysis of e-business models in real estate

We use Canvas Application Framework to analyze e-business models of Realestate.yahoo.com, Yahoo.com, Redfin.com, Realtor.com, Trulia.com, Zillow.com, and Craigslist.com. We investigate the similarities and differences among e-business models and how e-business model differentiation affects company success. We looked at which business model components, such as distribution channels, business partnerships, attracting customers, revenue streams, etc., are important. We further investigate whether the web-advertising, brokerage, virtual value-chain, or the diversified internet business model is used by each company, and which ones are more successful. We discover similarities and differences among e-business models. Differences include the use of revenue streams for generating revenue, the extent of partnerships, and the role they play in a company’s success.
