Is there a way to see when/what date/how long a house was listed on the site?
no..I dont believe so. Have a realtor set you up on Listing Book. But even that is tricky as many times the home gets de-listed for a while and then comes back as a new number. Overall, tough to gauge unless you are tracking the house over a certain time period.
Put the address in Zillow When I house search I have both open. Use zillow for pricing, birds eye view, and neighborhood info, MLSLI for searching and price/tax costs.
Oftentimes, the MLSLI.com lists a place's location by the community named in that place's mailing address, which is, more often than not, different from the city, village or hamlet where that place is actually located.
You can find out in which community (city, village or CDP) a place is actually located, which is oftentimes different from the community named in that place's mailing address, by using the Census Bureau's online address search function. (CDP or Census Designated Place is the Census Bureau equivalent for a hamlet in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.)
And, among other things, the Census Bureau's online address search function also indicates in which school district an address is located.
Based on the 2 homes we're dealing with (just sold and about to buy another), what I've just found:
- zillow is not as fast to update the sales history, it doesn't list what our house sold for in May while redfin does.
- redfin doesn't have a complete sales history, such as the price we bought our old home for back in '02 or the price this house we're buying was bought for back in '01.
Bottom line, I would use zillow first since all other features appear equal.
