Zillow API -- Getting actual listed price vs the Estimate

[Neil Hunter]

I've got the Zillow API working for me to collect all the basic data for the property. However, one glaring issue I've come across is the price that is reported. It actually gives me back the Zestimate price, NOT the actual listed price.

Granted, I'm using a Ruby library, https://github.com/synewaves/rubillow, so there might be a bug with that code, but does anyone know how to get this data I'm looking for?

Thanks

Generally, due to their licensing agreements with MLSes, Zillow is not allowed to share any info via API for on-market properties. Not sure if that's also the case for FSBOs. I'm a big fan of Zillow, but their API data is not what you see on their site and it's only useful for example data, and should not be relied on for any serious value analysis. That's why we pay for our data. If you want listed info, you have to integrate with an MLS via a RETS API.
