Zillow No Longer Shows Every Listing — Here’s What Buyers Need to Know

If you’ve been relying on Zillow as your main source for home shopping, there’s a major shift you should know about: Zillow no longer displays all publicly available listings.

This change means that the homes you see on Zillow may no longer reflect the full inventory actually available in your market. For buyers — especially in fast-moving cities like Miami — this creates blind spots that can cause you to miss opportunities, overlook better options, or misunderstand pricing trends.

So what happened?

Many MLS systems across the country have made adjustments to their data-sharing agreements with third-party platforms. As a result, Zillow may show only partial inventory depending on your location and your MLS’s policies. This isn’t always obvious to buyers, which can lead to the assumption that Zillow is showing all active homes — when in reality, it’s not.

The solution is simple: 
Work directly with a licensed real estate agent — regardless of their company — to access the complete set of public listings in real time.

As an agent, my MLS feed updates continuously throughout the day, ensuring you get accurate pricing, real availability, and all on-market homes (not just a filtered portion of them). You deserve the full picture when making one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.

If you’re actively looking to buy in Miami or simply want to understand what’s really happening in your target neighborhoods, I’m here to help. I can send you a curated list of all active homes — not just the ones Zillow displays — plus personalized insights to help you avoid overpaying or missing out.
