🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. Add a specific property type filter for ADUs in the Zillow search interface.
  2. Implement an 'exclude ADUs' toggle in the advanced search settings.
  3. Use machine learning to automatically tag and categorize listings as ADUs based on floor plan data and listing descriptions.
