With all the merger hubbub, let’s keep an eye on the Zillow stats.
No MLS input yet of this house – just a Zillow ad plus open house signs were used to publicize my listing in South Carlsbad today.
I inputted the Zillow data and photos on Friday at 6:30pm.
Here are their counts of the number of views on Zillow:
Fri 11:10pm – 40 views
Sat 6:45am – 63 views
Sun 7:30am – 222 views
Sun 7:00pm – 335 views
There probably aren’t many agents in that count either.
We had over 50 people attend the open house, and four mentioned that they saw it on Zillow – and there were probably more. Zillow could be a deterrent in this case, because it shows that the house was just purchased in March for less. But they still came.
There are plenty of lessons to be learned from open house!
having the bathroom in the bedroom is like living in a hotel room. Good call on the seller to put up the wall.
335 views and 4 people as a result??
Kayla, there was Ben & Jerry’s in the freezer!!!

Yeah, pretty good huh? It was free advertising too!
Good or bad, Zillow ads provide great feedback for those paying attention.
Kayla nailed it! No one wants to open their (groggy) morning eyes and see clutter! Seller made a smart decision.
And note to Kayla, don’t go for Ben & Jerry’s in the freezer, try Talenti Gelato, promise you’ll “never go back”. Mediterranean Mint or Sea Salt Caramel are 2 of my favs but they’re all “drool worthy”.
I hope Kayla’s Korner becomes a regular feature, Jim!
