Can I buy a Zillow-owned home during this time?
Yes. Our goal has always been to help people get into a home they love. Now it’s our top priority to help home buyers do it safely. While we’re still selling Zillow-owned homes, we’re actively monitoring our communities, public health orders and local housing markets to adapt to changing conditions as needed.
Are you still holding open houses on Zillow-owned home listings?
No. We have paused on live open house events in Zillow-owned homes until further notice. As an alternative, individually scheduled showings may be available in some markets, subject to local public health orders. Homes that remain open for individual showings are cleaned regularly. We are closely monitoring the situation and will update our customers, employees and real estate partners as things change.

What is the difference between a deposit and a down payment?
An initial deposit is the amount of money you place in trust with a real estate brokerage or a law firm upon an accepted offer. The initial deposit is refundable during the condition period but becomes nonrefundable and goes towards the purchase price after conditions have been removed. The initial deposit forms part of the down payment.
