Zillow search filters bypassed by fake pricing
🏠 homeproduct problemSingle report ●●●●●
A Zillow user reports that search filters are ineffective because listings are populated with fake prices like $1.00, causing irrelevant results to appear despite user-defined constraints.
What people do today
- Manually scrolling past irrelevant listings
- Reporting individual listings
- Switching to alternative real estate platforms
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- Implement an automated price-anomaly detection algorithm that flags or hides listings with suspiciously low prices like $1.
- Add a 'report listing for inaccurate price' button that triggers a manual review process for the property.
- Introduce a mandatory price verification step for agents and owners when uploading a new listing to the platform.

“You spend the time to use the filter just to see every listing still because they put a 1.00 dollar price.”
