Why doesn't zillow.com show all the homes for sale in the MLS?

Hello erikwanta -

At this time, we do not support that feature yet. An agent has to post homes for sale in the site one by one.

However, we have received similar requests for Zillow to provide that feature. We have already taken note of this and will consider this as we further develop our services.

Please also check on our blog where we announce new features on: www.zillowblog.com and on Zillow Labs: http://www.zillow.com/labs/Labs.htm for new gadgets.

... I can answer that... the MLS is a privately owned company, owned and run by real estate agencies. It is a private, membership only, fee for service business. They do not willingly give their information away for free.

... that includes, to zillow.

Can't this information be gleaned from realtor.com? How expensive is a MLS membership?

My home on 13251 Holmes Point, WA 98034 is for sale since labor day. Still is not visible here, and the same goes for competing properties in the area. Now I know why.

That kind of information is available on a competing web site. 

I will ask my broker and encourage them to post it on Zillow.

You may advise your agent to follow these simple steps in posting your property for sale on Zillow.

 

1. Log in to your account on Zillow.

2. Type in the address on the Find Homes box.

3. On the home details page, click on "Tell us it's for sale" on the left side of the screen.

4. On the next page, enter the sale price, listing website and MLS # of the property.

5. Tick on the disclaimer that says (I promise that I am...) then click on "Create Your Listing".

 

Hope this helps.

Zillow All-Star

Since August 2009

Zillow is unique in its premise and promise. To list all MLS listing would be doing what zillions of websites do - import the "public" MLS data to real estate portals and brokerage sites. Having to post my listings on Zillow is no burden for me but rather an opportunity to have my clients' properties get the extra sand special "Zillow exposure."

 

I am a licensed real estate agent and as such I belong to the NWMLS (Northwest Multiple Listing Service), but only as long as my license is active and I'm with a brokerage - in my case that's Coldwell Banker Bain.  And, yes, there are membership fees.

 

The main reason that some MLS data is not published is to protect the identity and privacy of the sellers. If the MLS organisations around the country were smart they would give the consumer complete access to properties provided by their own agent - guided access, so to speak.
