Market research is at the heart of this question. Talk to the interviewer about your work habits and how you prefer to approach a new project. Since they've laid out that market research is at the heart of what they do, your research skills should be highlighted in your answer.

"I agree that market research is the backbone of any project, especially in the online property listing services industry where data is constantly changing. Without research, important details are missed, and much time is wasted. I like to research before starting a project so that I can lay out a plan and understand the potential hurdles as well."

"Although there may be some instances at Zillow where jumping right it may be required, I always prefer to research before I being a project. I will grab a team member for added support, and ask them to cross-reference my research and poke holes in my project theory wherever possible. Rest assured; I would always follow your preferred methods, should I be hired."
