Zillow Saved Homes: How to Find, Compare and Organize Your Saved Listings
Your Zillow saved homes are under Saved Homes: tap it at the bottom of the app, or open it at the top of zillow.com. Compare up to five side by side, then keep every serious home, from any site, in one list with your notes.
Where to find saved homes on Zillow
- In the Zillow app: tap Saved Homes at the bottom of the screen.
- On zillow.com: sign in and open your saved homes from the top of the page, where Zillow shows Saved Homes (in some layouts, View Saved Homes in the top right corner).
Saved homes belong to your Zillow account. If the list looks empty, check that you are signed in with the same email you used when you saved them, in the app and on the website.
How to compare saved homes on Zillow
Zillow has a built-in tool called Homes to Compare. It shows up to five saved homes side by side.
- Open Saved Homes.
- In the app, tap + Compare at the top right. On the website, tick Compare on each home you want.
- Pick up to five homes, then tap or click Compare.
You can send a link to the comparison chart to a partner or agent. In the app, you and a partner can also tag what you like about each home.
The chart compares what the listing says. It will not hold the details you noticed yourself, like the breakfast bar or the steep driveway, and it only covers Zillow. That is what your own list is for.
Start with one list for every home
Open Zillow Saved Homes and create one row for each serious option in a spreadsheet, document or notes app. Use a small set of fields:
- Address
- Listing link
- Source
- Price
- Bedrooms and bathrooms
- Neighborhood or ZIP code
- Features you care about
- Concerns
- Status
- Next action
Keep the source field even if most homes came from Zillow. A Redfin favorite, a StreetEasy link from a friend and a listing buried in a message thread should not become three separate shortlists.
Do not copy every listing detail. Record only the facts you actually use to compare homes; otherwise, the comparison becomes another maintenance project.
Write notes in the words you will remember
“Nice kitchen” is too vague when five homes have attractive kitchens. Name the feature that made the home distinctive:
- Open kitchen with breakfast bar
- Banquette beside the back window
- Small fenced backyard
- South-facing living room
- Laundry beside the bedrooms
- Narrow galley kitchen
- Steep driveway
If you remember “the house with the banquette,” put banquette in the record. Keep positive details and negative details separate when that makes comparison easier: “open kitchen” belongs under features; “no pantry” belongs under concerns.
Add Redfin, StreetEasy and message links
A home does not stop being relevant because it arrived outside Zillow. Add every serious listing to the same comparison as soon as you decide it is worth considering.
For a link sent through iMessage or another chat, record who sent it and any context they added. “Sent by Maya, near the park” is more useful than a bare URL.
If your search is already scattered, gather candidates in batches:
- Review Zillow Saved Homes.
- Review Redfin Favorites.
- Search messages for Zillow, Redfin and StreetEasy links.
- Check browser bookmarks and open tabs.
- Review recent property screenshots and downloaded floor plans.
Process serious candidates first. You do not need to preserve every home you glanced at.
Why the native saves become a scavenger hunt
Zillow, Redfin and StreetEasy use separate account areas and logins. StreetEasy is an NYC-focused service acquired by Zillow but remains a separate experience. Their saved collections do not share your notes or search vocabulary.
Photo order is also inconsistent. Some listings lead with an exterior, others with a drone image, and saved cards have no “open kitchen” tag. A link sent with a flame emoji in a group chat may carry no usable context at all.
Delisted states differ too: Zillow may retain a card while hiding photos, Redfin may remove the card, and StreetEasy may leave a stale broker page with an empty price. These differences make the platform a poor substitute for a durable comparison record.
Zillow saved homes disappeared?
Check the account first: a different login shows a different list. Then look for the home by its address in Zillow search. If it went off market or the listing changed, its page may look different from when you saved it, or the photos may be gone. That is why the address and your notes belong in your own list while the listing is still up.
Preserve details that could disappear
A property can go off market, and its page or photos may change. Copy the address and essential facts into your list while they are visible. If a photo shows an important feature, save it with enough context to connect it to the address. Name floor-plan files with the street address followed by “floor plan.”
Do not rely on a screenshot alone. A kitchen image without an address becomes another mystery in the camera roll. If screenshots are already piling up, use the same approach as this guide to organizing iPhone screenshots: remove duplicates, group related images and attach enough context to retrieve them.
Keep school research beside the property
School information often lives outside the listing: a district page, boundary map, parent discussion or note from a neighbor. Attach those sources to the corresponding home instead of leaving them in unrelated tabs.
Keep observations separate from verified facts. A forum comment is not equivalent to a district boundary document. If schools shape the move, build school-district notes for each home while comparing properties.
Give every home a status and next action
Use one status per property:
- Review
- Ask about
- Tour
- Considering
- Ruled out
Add a concrete action where needed: “ask about roof age,” “check commute” or “book Saturday tour.” Statuses keep rejected homes from resurfacing and show what needs attention without forcing you to remember the whole search. If the listing says the appliances stay and they look tired, add their age to the note: should they need replacing after the move, the yearly appliance sale calendar tells you whether to buy right away or wait for the next sale weekend.
Find the listing by memory, not by platform
When someone asks which home had the open kitchen, search the comparison for open kitchen. A save button records where something is; a useful note records why it mattered. Expecting memory to reconstruct the source later is the hard-drive fallacy.
A spreadsheet or document works if you update it consistently. A bookmark folder is simpler but preserves little context. dEssence is another option when you want to save items from multiple sources and later ask about them in your own words.
Whichever method you choose, keep the comparison in one place, describe memorable features precisely and record the next decision. Then “the Zillow house with the breakfast bar” becomes a search, not a Sunday-morning investigation.
