How can I post my home on Zillow if I can't even find it on your site?
As you go through the posting for sale or Make Me Move process, just enter the address, pinpoint the home's location on the map and the home will be added to the site. You can do this for any home for sale in the U.S. or set a Make Me Move® price, even if the home is not currently in our database.

What is Make Me Move®?
Make Me Move is a free and easy way to tell others the price you'd be willing to sell your home for, without actually putting it on the market. It's the "dream price" you might accept if someone offered you that price.

How does Make Me Move work?
You set a Make Me Move price and then post it on your home for anyone to see. If anyone is interested in buying your home at that price, they can contact you anonymously via e-mail. Then it's up to you whether or not to sell your home. You do not have to supply your phone number or name; it's completely anonymous up until the time you respond to the interested buyer.

How do I set a Make Me Move price?
It's super easy. Just go to your home details page and click on "Set Make Me Move." You will only need to enter your Make Me Move price and your e-mail address. Anything else is optional. (Note: You will need to register and claim ownership of your home before you can do this.)

How can I find homes for sale on Zillow?
Easy. If you're interested in buying a home in a certain neighborhood, you can either:
- Enter the name of the neighborhood and city and state (e.g., "Queen Anne, Seattle, WA"), or
- Enter an actual address and then pan/drag the map around, or
- Enter a ZIP code and zoom in, then pan/drag the map, or
- Any combination of the above
Once you do this, you will see red flags that indicate "For Sale" homes, blue flags for "Make Me Move" homes and yellow for "Recently sold" homes. Click on the flags on the map to see more information about each house.

A home in my neighborhood is for sale, but I don't see it on your site. Why?
We only know if a home is for sale if an owner or real estate agent has entered that information on our site manually or through XML broker feeds.

Why are old listings appearing on homes that are no longer for sale?
It's because the home's listing information came through an XML feed by a real estate brokerage, real estate agent, or a listings aggregator and the information was not updated from that source. Look at the provider of the "For Sale by" information on the home details page and contact that person to have the information updated for that home. Learn more about Zillow Listings Feed.
