Buyers Beware of Zillow Listings in Chicago
Recently was contacted by another real estate agent inquiring about a property listing in Logan Square, one of Chicago’s emerging neighborhoods. They were requesting a showing on a 2 flat on the 2500 block of Mozart, the nicest street in all of Logan Square. The problem is the property they inquired about sold and closed about 2 years ago, but Zillow still has it as a active 2 flat.
After doing a search I discovered another property on the same block that also closed 2 years ago and is still listed as an active 2 flat currently for sale. I know initially when Zillow started offering free on-line market analyses they were typically very far from reality, have heard they have improved a bit and are usually a little more realistic. Curious as to the management of the data they take from us
Sold but Active on Zillow
the brokers and agents. We would ultimately be fined if we did not report properties as “closed” after they in fact have closed. Apparently nobody monitors Zillow or the various other sites that have real estate listings and provide a service to the public.
Is it my responsibility to contact Zillow to request that they keep current records? Just know that if you are searching on Zillow in some of Chicago’s finest neighborhoods for properties you may be looking at inventory that is not for sale. REMAX had both of these properties listed, for a current list of what is available go to Current Homes For Sale in Logan Square
