How do I get Zillow to correct misinformation about my house

Profile picture for Dana Prince
Zillow lists my home as having sold in 1987 for a fraction of its then current value. In fact, the county assessor has just told me that the only record of a sale is in 1977 for what I actually paid for it, with a fractional reappraisal in 1986 when the title was changed to include a switch in co-owner.  I've communicated with Zillow multiple times on this and the misinformation still is on the house's Zillow site.

Because I think potential buyers are influenced by Zillow in thinking about what a house is worth.

Auto population algorithms are your enemy.

You have no control over what is sent this way.  The only thing that can be changed are new listings.  Just out of curiosity, why do you care what Zillow says?

Date of sale and price are not end-user editable fields. They allegedly come from public records only, but, as I said, the assessor's office has different information than Zillow does.
