CHICAGOLAND HOME BUYERS & SELLERS

You may soon notice that some MRED listings are no longer appearing on Zillow or Trulia due to an ongoing dispute between Zillow and Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED), the MLS system that powers the majority of listings across Northern Illinois. (Axios)

What does this mean for Village Realty clients?

Very simply:
OUR CLIENTS ARE STILL SEEING THE FULL MARKET.

Buyers working directly with Village Realty agents continue to receive access to listings directly through the MLS system — including properties that may not appear on Zillow.

Sellers listing with Village Realty still receive:
• Full MLS exposure
• Professional REALTOR® representation
• Marketing across multiple platforms
• Direct agent-to-agent exposure
• Serious buyer reach beyond a single website

This situation is actually an important reminder:

Zillow is NOT the real estate market.
The MLS is.

Consumers relying ONLY on third-party websites may now be seeing incomplete inventory, outdated availability, or missing opportunities entirely.

That is why professional representation matters.

At Village Realty, our clients are not dependent on one app, one website, or one algorithm to buy or sell a home. We work directly within the professional MLS network to ensure our clients have access to accurate, real-time market information.

If you have questions about whether you are seeing ALL available homes in today’s market, contact me today!
