Real estate data firm Zillow said Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2015 that rents rose a seasonally adjusted 4.2 percent from a year ago. The higher rents suggest that demand for apartments is continuing to grow as the share of Americans owning homes has dropped. (Photo/Mel Evans)

Rich Barton said Zillow employees will have the flexibility to choose where they want to work through the end of 2020 whether its at home or anywhere else.

Zillow is known for listing properties for sale and rent from its website.

Barton said he believes working from home "will have a lasting influence on the future of work and home."
