How the score works
Each of the three numbers becomes 0 to 100 points. The score is a weighted average of those points, plus a small bonus or penalty for pace.
| Signal | How it becomes points | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Saves | Log curve: 100 points at 400 saves. Early saves count the most. | 40% |
| Days on market | 100 points on day 0, falling evenly to 0 at day 90. | 35% |
| Views | Log curve: 100 points at 5,000 views. | 25% |
| Pace bonus | Saves plus 5% of views, per day on market. About 5 a day adds nothing; faster adds up to 10 points, slower takes off at most 1. | −1 to +10 |
If one number is missing, the score uses the other two and spreads the weight between them. Labels: 80 and up is Hot, 60 to 79 Warm, 40 to 59 Average, 20 to 39 Cool, under 20 Slow.
What it tells you, and what it doesn’t
Saves are closer to intent than views: a save is someone still thinking about the home later. Days on market is the clock on the current selling attempt. Read together, they show whether buyers are leaning in or passing. A high score is a reason to move quickly and check nearby sales. A low score after weeks on the market is a reason to ask why. It is not a price opinion or a forecast of what a seller will accept.
More on each signal: what Zillow saves mean, what days on market really means, and how to tell if a listing is overpriced.
