Zillow used to have a “make me move” function where the homeowner could state a price that he would accept even though the home wasn’t actively on the market. Kind of like seeing the car you’ve always wanted and asking the owner if he’d sell.
Zillow took that option away but a homeowner can still list, just not be active, so it kind of works the same way.
My question to a realtor, does it look weird if a house gets listed on Zillow for a high price, then a couple of years later gets listed again for a lower price? What kind of flags, if any, does this send up?
I’m in the process of updating my home. New flooring throughout, counters, sink, interior paint, and appliances. The right buyer might be willing to pay serious money in this market and we’re getting ready to downsize in the next few years anyway. I’m thinking about throwing a really high price on a FSBO on Zillow just to see if he’s out there.
