Sometimes when running comps against “Sold” properties, I see that one site has more “Sold” properties than the other. I can understand why one would have a listing that the other one doesn’t but why would there be a discrepancy in the “Sold” properties? Zillow just showed me a few sold properties in a certain zip code that Redfin didn’t show. Does one website update faster than the other? Which website would you recommend using to check comps and what are the overall differences between the sites that an investor should know about.
Zillow is an advertising company, NOT a MLS, information tends to to be inaccurate. Their primary business is to sell (buyer and seller) leads to realtors. Redfin is a broker and is not obligated to display listings or sales from other brokers. The most accurate place for comps is Realtor.com
