Bought this place in 2012 as a 3 bedroom and it showed up that way on those sites.

I've since remodeled it so that it's now a 2 bedroom and it shows up as a 2 bedroom on those sites. The remodeling was inside so I didn't need any permits. No reassessment. No listing with local realtor.

I'm not paranoid or anything but how do they know it's now a 2 bedroom?


seriously, I'm just curious. I gave up any delusion of privacy ages ago.

If you never told the county, and it hasn’t been marketed since, or changed in the tax status, I have no idea!

Did you tell Alexa? :-)

Alexa? good grief, no. I am technologically challenged. Just finding out that my flip phone will be useless by the end of the year has put me in a tizzy.

Maybe a neighbor who knows of your remodeling is planning on selling their house and wants their 3 bedroom to compare higher to your 2 bedroom so they contacted zillow to make the update?

that could be. I kinda know 2 realtors, both of whom do appraisals.


maybe that's it.

But I don't think any old Joe can go update your house's data.

if Zillow changed their public information like that (based on a neighbor, or anyone who didn't provide any proof) and not on public info, then I say you DM Surbiton and let's get this game-changing lawsuit going.

Combination of MLS, tax records, and probably a few other places they don't disclose.

There is no way you didn't need permits if you moved walls etc. So likely your contractor pulled the permits and you didn't know about it.
