Are You Having A Hard Time Finding The Zillow Website For Merida Mexico?

Unfortunately, the Yucatan doesn't have Zillow. Until recently the best alternative was Point2Homes. Now, however, the Yucatecan real estate landscape is undergoing a significant shift with the closure of Point 2 Homes in July 2024. Here are some alternatives!

Hi, my name is Kybor with TrustFirst and today we're going to evaluate alternatives to Zillow in the Yucatan, including Merida, Progreso, Chelem, Chuburna, Chicxulub and Telchac.

Introduction

As mentioned, the closest thing Merida Mexico had to Zillow was Point2Homes. It was the most consolidated list of properties in the Yucatan, including Chelem and other coastal towns.

Unfortunately, Point2homes.com has closed its doors and is no longer operating in Merida and the rest of Mexico. If you're reading this in 2024, you may still notice some listings on their website and see them on google. But know that as of July, they've ceased operations and these listings are just residual that should soon disappear.

Not wanting to leave you hanging, we've put together a couple alternative ways to find your next home in the Yucatan.

1. Networked Agent

Whether you're in Merida, Chelem or New York City, the best way to find a property has always been to hire a good Realtor. First off, it's free since the commissions come out of the seller's pocket. Second of all, to directly contact a listing agent for a property is like asking your former partner's lawyer to represent you in the divorce. There's a conflict of interest. So it's best to hire your own agent, at no cost. TrustFirst Merida Real Estate prides itself on its constant networking with other top brokerages and agents to be able to show you the full range of properties that meet your criteria.

Not only do we know the best Merida Realtors to work with and their websites, we also know what they have coming down the pipeline, that might not be on their websites yet. This allows us to scoop deals for our clients that are off-market. As you know... It's not what you sell it for, it's what you buy it for.

Have a Question?

2. Facebook Marketplace

While we do have this listed as an option, you have to be very careful with facebook marketplace. There are a lot of fake listings phishing for information. There are also a lot of real estate scams in Merida on Facebook.

Many of the houses you will see listed on Facebook marketplace in Merida have an incorrect price. They will bait and switch you.

Other tactics are to list a house that was already sold, only to get your information and try to sell you a different property. Even more frustrating than this is the fact that many of the people that employ this sleazy tactic don't even end up reaching out to you at all. Talk about a lack of follow-through with their own scam.

The worst case scenario are "agents" that prey on folks that don't speak good Spanish and don't have a team of trusted lawyers and realtors only to end up taking them for everything they've got. This is not uncommon.

While you can certainly find real listings on facebook, working with a realtor will greatly reduce your chances of falling for one of these scam or wasting your time as we know many of the accounts and names of the individuals doing this. Merida is not a big city and word spreads fast of who has bad intentions. If you find a listing you like, send it to your agent and let them investigate and book a viewing.
