Data Spot Check
While browsing foreclosure data on Zillow.com, a property came up with the following comment in the Q&A section: “Why is the same house listed for sale for $2,500.00 on RealtyTrac.”
The property on Zillow was a Foreclosure.com property listed at $39,900. See picture below.
With further investigation, the property, located at 145 Stoneybrook Road in Pacolet South Carolina 29373 was in fact listed on both Foreclosure.com and RealtyTrac.com priced at $39,900 and $2,500 respectively.

See Foreclosure.com below
In order to find out which service was correct, Foreclosure Research contacted the agent, D. Fowler, who verified the correct price at $39,900.
In conclusion, the property listed on foreclosure.com contained the more accurate information of the two.
One of the main complaints within the foreclosure listing arena is a lack of accurate data. It’s good to see that at least one company offers accurate information.
