Real estate listings may appear unavailable due to delayed information updates

Real estate websites may still show "phantom listings" due to delays in updating property information between agencies and portals. While outright fraudulent listings are less common, the primary cause is a time lag in information updates, leading to properties appearing available when they are not. This issue arises from the difficulty in synchronizing data across multiple parties, though platforms like LIFULL HOME'S are implementing automated systems to address it.
