Zillow Shutters Zillow Offers, it’s Direct Home Buying Division

What it means for home sellers and buyers

Home Buyers and Sellers

Zillow jumped into the direct home buying space in 2018. The company joined a number of ibuying startups like Opendoor and Offerpad. But recently, the company announced it would shutter its Zillow Offers direct home buying division.

Buying and selling homes directly certainly seemed like a smart play for the company. Zillow has strong awareness among consumers, and a trove of homes sales data gleaned from public records, Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) and user-submitted information. These data are what make up the company’s ubiquitous Zestimates, its proprietary automated home valuation model. We can only assume these Zestimates were the primary data point being used when the company made an offer to purchase a home.

New Florida Homeowners Can Save on Property Taxes

By Leave a Comment

If you purchased a home in Florida in 2019 (primary residence), be sure to file for your homestead exemption by March 1, 2020.

If you bought a home in Florida in 2019, you likely qualify for a homestead exemption of up to $50,000. That means that your property tax will be based on your home’s assessed value, minus the amount of your exemption (up to $50,000).

That can mean big savings. 

Of course, you must meet certain criteria set forth by the state of Florida, but most homeowners who can count their Florida home as their primary residence as of January 1, 2020 will qualify.
