We just finished a home search and I noticed the “hot homes” were basically just any decent house in a competitive neighborhood, but they didn’t always sell quickly. If they’re overpriced, they’ll get a lot of looks and become a “hot home” but won’t necessarily get offers.

If a Redfin house is a "hot home", it often sells more quickly than a non-hot home. But why would you want the numbers to be artificially inflated? How does that benefit the seller? I've had buyers that avoid the hot homes because they are not interested in competing. What's your logic?

What depressing advice.

No one with sense is going to bother to do this.

I feel like some people in here use link to a house they are trying to sell so they get more clicks and make their house more popular on Redfin.

Its just views!

More views.
But if you hire Redfin Agent your house will get more exposure longer.

Is this label meaningful? What would indicate that a specific house will sell faster than surrounding homes?
