randerson+FollowZillow's New Rule: What It Means for YouHouse hunting online? Big news: Zillow is cracking down on agents who try to keep listings off the main databases, meaning fewer 'hidden homes' just for insiders. Why? Some brokerages want to keep the best deals in their own club, but Zillow wants everything out in the open. If you’re buying or selling, ask your agent how they’ll get your home seen—or find you the secret listings. The takeaway: don’t just scroll, ask questions! #RealEstateTips #HomeBuying #Zillow #RealEstate20Share
Shelly Powell+FollowHouse Hunting Just Got Messier—Thanks, Zillow!So, Zillow and Compass are in a full-on real estate brawl, and it's about to make your next home search a lot more complicated. Basically, Zillow wants every home for sale to show up on its site ASAP, but Compass likes to give its clients a sneak peek before going public. Now, Zillow's threatening to blacklist homes that don't play by its rules, and Compass is suing. The result? You might have to check multiple sites (not just Zillow) to find your dream home. House hunting is about to feel like a scavenger hunt! #RealEstateDrama #HouseHunting #Zillow #RealEstate90Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowShould You Wait to Buy a House in 2025?Heads up, house hunters and sellers! Zillow says home prices might actually dip by almost 2% in 2025, which is rare news these days. If you’re looking to buy, it could pay to wait for a better deal. Sellers, though, might want to list sooner rather than later to lock in higher prices. The catch? Timing both buying and selling perfectly is tricky, so focus on what works best for your life, not just the market buzz. #HomeBuying #RealEstateTips #MoneyHacks #Zillow #HousingMarket #RealEstate20Share
Shelly Powell+FollowAre Home Prices Finally Dropping?Heads up, house hunters: Zillow says home prices might actually dip this year—by about 2%. That’s a big deal, since prices haven’t really fallen since the 2008 crash (except for a tiny blip in 2023). What’s going on? More people are listing their homes, but buyers are still playing hard to get, thanks to high mortgage rates. Sellers are starting to cut prices to get attention, so if you’ve been waiting for a break, this could be your moment. It’s not a crash, just a much-needed cool-down after the wild pandemic price hikes. #housingmarket #realestate #homebuying #Zillow #moneytips120Share
Samantha Welch+FollowZillow vs. Compass: Who Gets to List Your Home?Grab your coffee—real estate drama is brewing! Zillow and Compass are duking it out over how homes get listed online. Zillow wants all homes to be visible to everyone, while Compass is pushing for more private, office-only listings. Why does it matter? If you’re selling, it could mean your home is either seen by everyone or just a select few. More eyes might mean a faster sale, but some agents say private listings give sellers more control. Either way, your next move could be shaped by this showdown! #RealEstate #HomeSelling #Zillow #Compass #MarketTrends72Share
wsmith+FollowWho’s paying $4k/month just for HOA??Just casually browsing Zillow and saw a place nearby with an HOA fee of $4,222/month. For what?? Unless it includes a private chef, laundry service, and someone tucking me in at night, that’s wild. Like seriously, how do they even justify that? Anyone else seen ridiculous HOA fees lately? Let’s compare nightmares. #HOAFee #Zillow #RealEstate117Share
christopherbarton+FollowI sold my house to zillow and won bigPurchased our SoCal home for $595k in 2023, but needed more space for our growing family. Zillow initially offered $785k, and after inspection finalized at $775k with zero repair costs. Their fees were minimal - just 0.9% service charge and $4.5k closing costs. Way better than our realtor's suggestion to list at $710k with higher commissions. Yes, the escrow team's communication was spotty, but the incredible offer made it worth it. The entire process took just 14 days! Zillow's aggressive buying strategy worked in our favor - they're clearly focused on gaining market share. #zillow #realestate #homeselling236Share

Heather Moore+FollowCan You Trust Zillow Reviews Anymore?Next time you’re scrolling Zillow for a dream home, take those glowing agent reviews with a grain of salt. A new study found nearly 1 in 4 reviews are likely written by AI, not real people! That means you could be picking an agent based on robot hype, not real experiences. With fake reviews on the rise, it’s getting harder to spot the difference—so double-check before you trust the stars! #RealEstate #Zillow #AIFakeReviews00Share
