To change your search options, start by typing the neighborhood, city, or zip code of your search into the search box. Click on the search button (looks like a magnifying glass), which will take you to our map page. You can find the search box under "Find a Home" on the main page or within the white text box at the top of the screen on other pages.
Once on the map screen, you’ll see the "Filters" button at the right above the table:
Property Type:
House: Results will include detached, single-family homes.
Condo: Results will include condominiums.
Townhouse: Results will include townhouses.
Multi-family: Results will include duplexes, triplexes, and other multi-family buildings.*
Land: The results will include vacant land.*
Other: The results will include properties which do not fit into any of the above categories such as timeshares, parking, and ranches.*
Listing Status:
To view your options for homes that are For Sale, click on the “show more” option to display the following:
- Status: The listings returned are filtered based on their current status. You can choose to see active listings, under contract/pending listings, or both types of MLS listings. These listings have been entered into the Multiple Listing Service by an agent or owner.
- Time on Redfin: The listings returned are filtered based on the amount of time they have been actively for sale on the market. For example, if you select "Less than 60 days" for Days on Redfin, the results will contain all new listings that have been added to Redfin in the past 60 days.
- Open Houses: Check this box to see only homes that have a scheduled open house. You can further refine the search to select open house results for the coming weekend or anytime.
- Price Reduced: Check this box to see only listings with at least one price reduction. You can use the drop-down menu to show homes whose last price reduction occurred during a specific time period.
- Exclude Short Sales: Check this box to exclude properties marked as short sales by the listing agent when submitted to the MLS or in the marketing remarks.
- Fixer-Uppers Only: The marketing remarks for these listings contain keywords such as TLC, needs work, handyman special, and contractor special. Alternatively, the listing agent specifically marked the listing as a fixer.
Listing Type:
- MLS-Listed Foreclosures: These listings have been entered into the Multiple Listing Service by an agent or owner and the marketing remarks contain keywords such as foreclosure or bank-owned.
- For-Sale-by-Owner : These listing results are posted for sale without a listing agent. A for-sale-by-owner listing may be listed in the MLS, or on a number of for-sale-by-owner websites.*
- Foreclosures: The results will include homes in foreclosure from the bank's website. These homes are likely not for sale.
To view Sold data, make sure to select the "Sold" option and choose the time frame in which you would like to view.
These are recent property sales pulled from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and public records. Recent past sales can be useful benchmarks for evaluating the price of a listing or doing a Comparative Market Analysis. Include these results by selecting a time period in the Sale Records drop-down box.
Redfin currently services houses, condos, townhouses, and multi-family properties with up to 4 units. Redfin does not service other property types. Furthermore, unless a home is listed in the MLS, Redfin will not be able to assist you with a purchase. We display potentially ineligible listings because the information is available to us, and we want to make our search experience as in-depth as possible.
MLS rules in the Bay Area do not allow us to show MLS listings alongside information from other sources.

Keywords Search
This field is a great way to search for options that might not be typical, like searching for a pool or single-story home. Enter any phrase that you are interested in, like “rambler” or “pool.” If the listing agent has included this description on the home, Redfin will help you find these types of homes. If you enter multiple terms, only listings whose descriptions contain all of them will be included in your search.
Suggested Searches:
- Find the home that suits your personality with a search for craftsman, loft, bungalow, or tudor.
- Narrow your multi-family search by searching for duplex or triplex.
- Stay warm by searching for a fireplace.
- Find a house with a mother-in-law apartment.
- Get the features you want with a search for hardwood floors or maybe granite countertops.

At this time, the keywords search is restricted to a listing's marketing remarks and does not search the full text of the listing's amenities.
NOTE: Only homes that match all of your search criteria will be shown. For example, if you check the "Price Reduced" and "Open House" boxes, you will be shown only those listings which are price reduced AND have an upcoming open house.
