Anyone suspicious of a house price when the pics have grey wood flooring?

It hits harder every year

The housing market behaves like any other marketplace: visibility determines competition. When something is seen by more qualified buyers, competition increases. Competition tends to push prices toward the top of what the market will bear.

A home listed only on Zillow is visible to people browsing that one platform. But the majority of active buyers are connected to the market through agents, saved searches, and automated alerts that come from the MLS (Multiple Listing Service). According to the National Association of Realtors, roughly 89% of buyers work with an agent, which means many of them first see homes through MLS-powered systems rather than by manually searching a single website.

When a property is listed through the MLS, it doesn’t replace Zillow — it feeds Zillow and many other platforms simultaneously, including Redfin, Realtor.com, and Homes.com, while also triggering agent alerts, brokerage websites, and buyer search notifications.

That network effect matters.

More places your home appears
→ more buyers discover it
→ more showings happen
→ stronger offers are possible.

Limiting exposure to one site creates a visibility gap — and in real estate, the size of your audience often determines the strength of your outcome.
