Peter,
I just looked at this, and you are right that the API should be returning the LocalRealEstate data. I'll have our developers take a look and schedule a fix.

Peter,
I ran into this issue as well and tried GetUpdatedPropertyDetails API instead - see the above site for a sample response from Zillow documentation (check editedFacts fields). It says these are edited by the agent/owner.
Unfortunately, most of these fields are NOT returned either? We may want to ask Zillow to take a closer look at these discrepancies in reality Vs Zillow claims and fix it if they can?

Hi Murali,
Thanks for the tip! Any idea how to get the name of the neighborhood for a specific property? As I mentioned in my original post, according to the documentation in Zillow's GetSearchResults API, the neighborhood name is supposed to be in the <localRealEstate> node of the XML file. In my attempts to retrieve the info using GetSearchResults, all the fields in the XML are returned without any problems with the exception of the <localRealEstate> field which should contain the neighborhood name for the requested property address.
GetRegionChildren API works great if you need to get the names of all neighborhoods in the area (i.e. in a state or a city), but is there a way to get the name of the neighborhood for just one house?
Thank you,
Peter

Peter,
Check out GetRegionChildren API
Here is a sample URL (replace <ZWSID> bu your API Key):
http://www.zillow.com/webservice/GetRegionChildren.htm?zws-id=<ZWSID>&state=wa&city=seattle&childtype=neighborhood

GetSearchResults API's Response with Missing localRealEstate Field
I am making a call to GetSearchResults API as follows:
http://www.zillow.com/webservice/GetSearchResults.htm?zws-id=<ZWSID>&address=2114+Bigelow+Ave&citystatezip=Seattle%2C+WA
Everything works fine with the exception of the localRealEstate field (which contains no data, i.e. what I get is <localRealEstate></localRealEstate> without any data in between the tags).
I am trying to get the neighborhood name for a specific property using GetSearchResults API.
Is there a way to get the neighborhood name using GetSearchResults or any other Zillow API?
Many thanks in advance!
