How much does it cost to list on Zillow?

Listing a house on Zillow is free. But, Zillow gives more visibility to homes listed on the multiple listing service (MLS), so keep this in mind if you're selling for sale by owner. A flat-fee MLS listing service will put your home on the MLS for as little as a few hundred dollars, or you can sell with a low commission real estate agent to get the benefits of a traditional realtor for a fraction of the price.

Should you claim your home on Zillow?

If you’re planning on selling your home now or in the near future, claiming your home on Zillow is a good idea. Even if you plan on holding onto the property, claiming your home allows you to edit the property details, ensuring higher accuracy and a better Zestimate for when you are ready to list.
