This home made the list because buyers keep coming back to look at it. It picked up 107 saves on Zillow, well above what most listings see this week. That works out to 5.4 times the average save count among this week's finalists. I've got buyers set up to get an alert the moment a home like this moves. A home like this doesn't need a fresh coat of paint to get noticed.
