I spend a fair amount of time speaking with Web developers around the country, and one thing I have heard numerous times is that they’d like to be able to access data on homes for sale via the Zillow API. I have good news — now you can!
We recently added two new API calls — GetRegionPostings and GetUpdatedPropertyDetails.
The combination of these two new calls provides a way for real estate agents and brokerages to integrate for sale by owner listings directly into their listing search functionality. We’re happy to have Redfin as an early adopter (Redfin blog post) of FSBO listings in the markets it covers. Here’s an example of a FSBO listing from Zillow on Redfin (here’s the same listing on Zillow).
Zillow is a living, growing database of all homes — not just homes for sale (we currently have data on more than 80 million homes). More than 1.3 million owners have claimed their homes on Zillow and many have updated their home facts. While we are storing those updated home facts in our databases, we think it’s only fair that we allow individuals to use the data they input into Zillow on their own Web sites, if they wish. This is where the GetUpdatedPropertyDetails API call comes into play. Have a Make Me Move price on your home and want to easily show it off? Now it’s possible. Or, have a listing that you want to automatically display within your own Web site or blog? That’s possible as well.
The GetRegionPostings API takes a place (ZIP code, neighborhood, or even geo points) as an input and returns a count of listings by type (Make Me Move, for sale by agent, for sale by owner, and reported for sale) in addition to some home facts about each property returned. The attributes of each property that are returned are home type, beds, baths, square footage, lot size, and price — along with a count of how many images are available for that property and a link to the home details page on Zillow. If you’d like to have access to the GetRegionPostings API call, please let us know.
Realius is another innovator that has adopted our postings API in the New York Metro market as part of their Price Me Now game - you can try it out here. For those looking to learn more about adding Zillow content to your site, take a look at our API documentation — and don’t forget those mortgage rate widgets that are highly clickable and addictive!

Zillow is edging closer to 3 million homes for sale (see the “Homes Currently on Zillow” counter box on the Zillow home page) and mixed in among these millions are many celebrity homes for sale. Sometimes you know, sometimes you don’t. For example, Michael Vick’s former Virginia home contains the facts right in the seller’s description: “THE MICHAEL VICK HOUSE.”
Here’s one that caught our eye and with some sleuthing, we discovered it’s Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter’s home in Parkland, Florida. Not sure if Nick is cutting his ties with Florida, but it is reported that he also recently purchased a home in L.A.
Note: If you look closely at the photo above, you can see photos on the wall of Nick with the other Backstreet Boys.
It may be cheaper — and safer — to keep a home for sale occupied, especially if it doesn’t sell soon enough.
