The correct information on a Zillow listing is crucial for several reasons. It helps direct prospective buyers, affects the value of your property and gives your listing validity. You can correct your Zillow listing location from your Zillow account. You can also have customer service correct the listing for you.
Zillow is a website where home owners who would like to sell their properties can list and sell them. You can find millions of for sale and for rent listings on the site.
Zillow uses certain parameters that home owners post on their listing to come up with an estimate of how much the home is worth. It is called the 'Zestimate.'
Having the correct information on your Zillow listing is important in determining the Zestimate. You may also be reported by others on the site if you put up the wrong information on Zillow.
By having the wrong information on your listing, its validity will be brought into question. Other features that you have put up on your listing about the property will also be doubted.
The location of a piece of property is vital to evaluating its value. There are plenty of factors tied to the location that affect its price. Factors such as security, closeness to a school district, average income of the residents and many others all affect the value of a property. Therefore, you may falsely increase or decrease the value of your home by having the wrong location on your listing.
The accuracy of information on your listing is also crucial for directing prospective buyers to the house. After a prospective buyer has evaluated the listing on Zillow, they will also want to evaluate the property in person.
By having the correct location on your Zillow listing, it is much easier to direct buyers to your property. The more buyers that visit your property, the higher the chances of you selling the house.
