Out of Date Zillow Data

The property above looks like a great opportunity, doesn't it?  A townhouse at Taylor Spring (median price = $189,250) that is a foreclosure and can be purchased for $146,473?  I have had numerous calls about this property over the past few weeks -- and there is only one problem....

The property was foreclosed on back in 2013 (four years ago), then purchased by the current property owner for $172,000, and is NOT for sale -- for $146K or any other price.

So -- don't be fooled -- if a property is listed as a foreclosure on Zillow, it very likely was a foreclosed property at some point in the past, perhaps years ago, but chances are it is NOT for sale, and NOT purchasable for the price listed on the property page on Zillow.

If you have a question about information on Zillow that does not seem to be accurate, feel free to touch base with me to see if we can confirm or deny that information.
