Zillow counts bathrooms rather generously

Bathroom Count

Zillow seems to be at least a somewhat frequently used reference for folks looking to buy homes in this area.  Their data is usually (or at least "often") accurate -- though with some frequency there are some issues with their data.

A funny one that I have only recently recognized is that the way they count bathrooms is a bit different than most buyers and sellers would count them.

Basically, their main "4 Bedrooms, 4 Bathrooms" (for example) description does not necessarily mean that there are four full bathrooms.  It could mean any of the following....
  • Four Full Bathrooms
  • Three Full Bathrooms, One Half Bathroom
  • Two Full Bathrooms, Two Half Bathrooms
  • One Full Bathroom, Three Half Bathrooms

Right -- so -- when checking out homes on Zillow....

  1. Scroll down until you find the actual bathroom count.
     
  2. Feel free to double check with me (or visit scottprogers.com) to double check any other potential listing accuracy issues.
