During an earnings call Tuesday, CEO Rich Barton said home-price appreciation over the last six months hit “unprecedented” levels not seen in 35 years.

Rich Barton’s company had made it to “Saturday Night Live,” in a skit that went viral. Acknowledging the pop culture milestone, Barton tweeted: “Wait. Have we been marketing @zillow wrong all these years???”
