Why Zillow Showcase Is a Must in the NY Market
Higher Visibility in a Crowded EnvironmentShowcase listings feature a distinctive tag, premium search placement, and are featured in targeted emails to buyers—crucial for NYC and surrounding areas where buyers may scroll through thousands of listings (zillow.mediaroom.com, scofieldgroup.com).
Proven Results for NY Sellers
Showcase homes are 20% more likely to go pending within 14 days (en.wikipedia.org, investors.zillowgroup.com).
They sell for 2% more on average, which equates to more than $9,000 on the average US home—and in NY markets, this can mean tens of thousands extra (zillow.mediaroom.com).
Immersive ExperienceEnhanced with AI-driven floor plans, high-res hero images, room-by-room grouping, and seamless virtual tours—buyers can virtually experience homes from Long Island to the Adirondacks (investors.zillowgroup.com).
