Message: Zillow: Sale of Mar-a-Lago estate was improper

Zillow confirmed on Friday in a statement to Newsweek that the information about the sale of former President Donald Trump's luxurious Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach was "incorrect." Since then, the information on the website has been corrected from "sold" to "off the market." "Zillow strives for accuracy on our website, and if we learn of inaccurate information, we immediately correct it. After conducting an investigation, it was found that the information provided was incorrect. We have corrected the information about this property," the statement reads..

Zillow's correction came after a statement from the son of former president, Eric Trump, in which he claimed that "Mar-a-Lago absolutely has not been sold and will never be sold. This rumor is absurd." The "sale" was reported on August4 shortly after Trump surrendered himself to authorities on Thursday in the Fulton County jail in Georgia, where he was arrested on13 serious criminal charges.

In the announcement, which was still available on the Zillow website on Friday morning, it was stated that a5,061 square foot house on South Ocean Boulevard in Palm Beach was sold for $422 million. The house was not listed on Zillow as "Mar-a-Lago," but the address corresponds to Trump's residence in Palm Beach. According to Zillow, the property was last sold on April6,1995, which is the date when Trump turned it into Mar-a-Lago Club. At that time, Zillow stated that the property was acquired for $12 million.
