Finding Hidden Gems on Zillow.com

These Hidden Gems are known as For Sale By Owner deals which you won't find unless you know how to access them, since they're hidden.
(Note: There are No FSBO's on Realtor.com which is designated for Realtor only listings)

Here's your Step-by-Step Guide on How to Find For Sale By Owner Listings on Zillow :
Step 1: Go to Zillow.com
Type Zillow.com into your browser’s address bar and hit Enter.
Step 2: Search Your Area of interest
In the search box, enter the city, county, or state where you want to look for properties. For example, you can type "California" and select CA for the entire state if you want.
Step 3: Access More Filters
Once you're on the page for your selected location, click on the More button at the top with a dropdown arrow. This is where you’ll find FSBO listings and can select items you'd like to see, or unselect items you don't care to see.
Step 4: Select "By Owner & Other"
Click on "By Owner & Other" under the dropdown menu. This will show FSBO properties that aren't listed by agents.
Step 5: Apply Additional Filters (Optional)
Before clicking Apply, you can refine your search using:

• Price Range: Set your budget by selecting the List Price range.
• Home Type: Choose the type of property, such as Lots/Land, Single-Family, or Condos.
• HOA Fees: Adjust settings if you prefer properties with no HOA fees (found under the More tab)

Click the Apply button when you're done.

Use the Sort dropdown menu to organize your listings by price, newest, or other preferences.
