Can’t find it on Zillow? Chicagoland sellers may not care.
After MRED removed Zillow’s access to local listing data, many Chicagoland homes are no longer appearing on Zillow but buyers are still finding homes through brokerage websites, the MLS, Realtor.com, Redfin, Homes.com, and agent networks.
In Naperville alone, Zillow showed 322 listings while .com showed 533 listings on the same day.
The conversation is shifting: sellers and brokerages want control over how homes are marketed, not dictated by a third-party platform.
