As Phoenix home prices rise and the market continues to slowly recover, residents searching for valley homes are always perplexed by the immense selection of real estate and property websites online. From Zillow to Redfin and everything in between, how do you know which real estate website is the most accurate and can provide the best information for your home search? Well, that’s why the Reeves Team is here. Let’s walk you through it.

To be completely honest, the most accurately informed local Phoenix real estate sites are managed by the real estate agents themselves. According to a recent Redfin study, websites operated by real estate brokerages have more accurate information on for-sale listing in 11 major markets than third-party listings portals such as Zillow and Trulia. Simply speaking, home searches such as the ones that we provide here on the Reeves Team website are far more accurate than those on Zillow and Trulia.

Unfortunately, though these insanely popular home search sites are used by millions every day, they do not display the most up-to-date and accurate information for Phoenix home buyers. The simple reason for this inaccuracy is the fact that real estate agents receive and post Phoenix and Gilbert listings directly from their own, personal clients or from multiple listing services.

The study compared over 6,000 listings in over 33 zip codes, many of those listings in Phoenix. Arizona . It did point out, however, that Realtor.com remains true and the most accurate compared to Zillow and Trulia based on the fact that many of it’s listings come directly from the nation’s more than 900 MLS s.

The most common complaints that I’ve seen with these home search sites:

• Home no longer for sale

• Home listed as traditional sale when it’s either in foreclosure or short sale

• Many homes not even listed

• Homes listed that are currently Pending

• Homes with inaccurate square footage or pricing information

Overall, the best way to search for a home here in the valley is to us a real estate agent’s website search, or give us a call directly at 480.892.1969.
