Homeowners, Name Your Price


Homeowners, Name Your Price

A real-estate site tests the magic number that might convince an owner to move; listing an Arizona home on a whim


If someone offered you $1 million for your home, would you sell?
Real-estate listings company Zillow wanted to find out. In 2006, the company created a feature called "Make Me Move," which lets homeowners name their "dream price" that would compel them to move.
Here's how it works: A homeowner enters his street address to find it in the Zillow database. While the website indicates that the home isn't for sale, the owner can add details, such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and upgrades, along with his dream price. Via email, any potential buyer can contact the owner, whose name isn't disclosed, and make an offer.
