4 Home Features You Won't See on Zillow

It's no surprise that younger generations tend to shop online more than older generations do -- even for houses. According to a Zillow Group (NASDAQ: Z) (NASDAQ: ZG) survey, an astounding 59% of millennials said they'd be at least somewhat confident making an offer on a home they saw only virtually.

That's understandable because people can still back out before signing a contract. But making an offer after only viewing the home online can secure a deal, a practice popular in a seller's market like the one we have now.

Though it seems inconceivable, Zillow's research found that 39% of millennials said they'd be OK with actually buying a home they saw only online, which can be risky. A tragic (and extreme) case happened last month when a disgruntled 84-year-old homebuyer killed his real estate agent upon first visiting the house he had just purchased sight unseen.
