Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone familiar with NJ MLS and Zillow/Redfin syndication can help me understand what happened with my rental listing.

I own a condo in West New York, NJ that has historically rented relatively quickly. This time, after roughly four months with almost no inquiries or showings, I started wondering if something was wrong and looked more closely at how the listing was appearing on Zillow and Redfin.

My agent entered the MLS listing as:

Property Type: Residential Lease
Style: C15 Multi-Level

He says this is how he has always entered condo rentals and that the MLS listing was set up correctly.

However, I found several issues after the listing syndicated:

1. Zillow was displaying the property as a single-family home rather than a condo.

2. Parking appeared to be correctly entered in the MLS, but when I selected the parking filter on Zillow, my listing disappeared from the search results.

3. Redfin had a similar issue with the laundry information/filter.

I contacted Zillow, and their MLS/feed department investigated. They told me that the data they were receiving showed the property type as Single Family and the parking field as NULL.

I also contacted NJ MLS directly. The person I spoke with told me that “Condo” is available as a Style selection, which made me wonder whether selecting C15 Multi-Level instead of Condo may have affected how the listing was mapped to Zillow/Redfin.

So my main question for agents familiar with NJ MLS is:

Is “Residential Lease + C15 Multi-Level” the correct way to list a condo for rent, or should the Style have been “Condo”?

And if the parking information was visible/correct in the MLS but Zillow received it as NULL, does that point more toward a syndication/mapping problem, or could something about the original MLS entry have caused the data to map incorrectly?

I'm not trying to blame my agent or the MLS. I'm simply trying to understand where the issue occurred and whether the original MLS setup contributed to the listing being incorrectly categorized or excluded when renters used certain filters.

I'd especially appreciate input from NJ agents who use this MLS or anyone who has dealt with Zillow/Redfin syndication issues.

Thanks!
