Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Interesting. I wonder if it was a listing created by someone else to generate controversy or how such a listing was generated. I've never used Zillow, do they not do any kind of verification of ownership before posting a listing? If so that seems like a massive opportunity for scammers. I'll need to do some googling and see if I can find that news story because all I saw was the previous headline claiming it had been sold.
Edit: After some digging my opinion of Zillow is now pretty low. Apparently the report of the sale was filled with major red flags but Zillow still listed it without question. The contact for the sale was listed as Brad Pitt, and the square footage was listed as 6,000 square feet instead of the actual square footage of 62,500. Both of those errors should have been enough to get someone at Zillow to take a much closer look, but apparently the only thing they actually checked was that the address listed on the sale matched.
Yeah, Zillow has a property I own listed as a 4 BR, 3 Bath house, valued at a half a million bucks. There's no actual structure at all--much less a house!!--on the property! And the property itself is worth about 100k at the most.
I don't know where they get their info from, but I know for sure they do not verify.
