I saw the word “unzillowable” in this post by Sellsius&176; blog. I thought, that’s a great coinage. I should cite that. Life intruded, but Sellsius&176; is back today with a much fuller detailing of unzillowables:
- Traffic noise
- Privacy
- Neighbors
- Neighbor’s property
- Neighbor’s pets
- Unique Day & Night Features
- Water Issues
- Cul de sac
- Stigmatized home
- Exposure
- Views
- Offbeat homes
- Wallpaper
- Paint color
- Land Pitch
- Smell – Good & Bad.
- “est” Homes – nicest/ugliest
- Homes in non-disclosure states
- Future events
That’s a buckeful, but surely there are more. Go thither and addend.

And then the list.
I know someone can improve on this, so please do.
