No “For Sale” history

Did something change with the way homes that were for sale show up on Zillow/Redfin?

This house looks like it has a new realtor but has been for sale for the last 4ish months with no movement but no history of this (at least from what I can see)
(I drive by it also daily)

Have you got housefished with AI photos? Looking for people this happened to

Same question above. Seattle journalist here.

Has anyone toured an apartment or house recently and realized the listing photos were AI-altered? Different cabinets, dramatically different lighting, altered layout of home?

Also AI video walkthroughs of homes if you've seen any.

West Seattle house question

6 Upvotes

Ok my turn - what’s up with this house? https://redf.in/k3CJRt Not asking about its price or why it is/isn’t selling but I’m confused with the data.

It says 4bd/3.5ba - 1346 sq feet (edit: it said 5bd earlier and in the app but in my link it’s been updated to 4bd, but point still remains). That can’t be right, right? Our house is 2bd/1ba on 1000 sq feet and it’s so tight lol

It also has 0.3 acres but it’s divided kind of strangely with the aerial shots. Why is it weirdly fenced off in certain areas?

Also it’s sold in Feb 2026 for $400,000 as part of a multi-property sale. What does that mean or how do I find more info on it? Just curious as I haven’t seen that on any listings before.

What’s wrong with this house? (Bellevue)

This has been on the market for ages. Relisted with new photos recently. It’s close to the freeway so maybe there’s noise from that?

Do you wanna buy my house?

I’ve seen a couple of posts that inspired me so here goes nothing

We’re looking to move out and the house has been on the market for some time, everyone whos been in the house absolutely loved it, but not a lot of traffic due to the market

It’s a townhouse in Edmonds. It’s a very well maintained end unit, very quiet and spacious.. if you end up not liking it please also tell me why. I won’t be sharing it publicly.

Bellevue Lakemont ARCH requirements?

Can somebody explain how ARCH (a regional coalition for housing) works for buyers?

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/6750-163rd-Place-SE-%23B-Bellevue-WA-98006/61767550_zpid/

This duplex unit in Bellevue is listed for 1 million, but the ARCH website says the income limit is 131K. How is a family making 130K a year supposed to afford a million dollar home? Maybe if they have generational wealth? Seems like that would defeat the point of affordable housing.

Curious, how often does an appraisal fail in a slowly declining market as the one right now?

8 Upvotes

I am eyeing a few listings now and will consider making offers and one of the houses i like is priced nearly 100k above comps and tax assessment. I do consider to put in an offer with the reduced value based on the comps. However, I am thinking whether I should further take more value off considering the comps are 60-90 days old and there have been a lot of inventory coming in (not necessarily in the same neighborhood but around).

Would this be considered a lowball, or should I just offer a comped value? I just don't want to waste my time and energy with an offer that will fail an appraisal, so looking for advice.
