Zillow, one of the world's largest real estate websites, could opt for an IPO as early as next year. It's a dramatic change from a year ago, when the recession pushed venture capital and technology IPOs to their lowest levels in years.
In an interview with BusinessWeek, Zillow COO Spencer Rascoff stated that Zillow is looking not only to go public in 2011, but is seeking ways to improve its valuation by courting new investors and solidifying itself as the world's "fastest-growing real estate site."
