IN THE NEWS Once-Invisible Inventory Can Be Seen on Zillow Instead of finding clever ways to chase shadow inventory, Zillow has decided to make things easy for thrill-seeking homebuyers and investors who are trying to track down unlisted, invisible inventory. The Seattlebased real estate data provider announced in late October that it is now providing information on 1.2 million pre-foreclosure and foreclosed properties at no cost. The homes provided through Zillow are not yet listed and apparently are yet to be found on any Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Before, only certain investors were privy to such information. "For the first time, home shoppers are able to see the entire scope of housing inventory in their area, both pre-market and for-sale, side-by-side," the company said in a release. According to Zillow, 55 percent of homebuyers have considered purchasing a foreclosure, but the problem was where to find the information. Foreclosure starts in October 2012 in Washington.

Zillow also includes its own estimate of the sale price of the home if sold as a foreclosure with the percentage and dollar discount based on fair market value. Foreclosure details are also included, such as the timeline of the foreclosure process, unpaid balance, and the lender. Another added feature will be 147,000 "Make Me Move" properties. For this feature, homeowners name a price for which they might sell their home. Users can view pre-foreclosure, foreclosed, and Make Me Move inventory by visiting Zillow.com and conducting a search using the pre-market filter.
