    Why would a new photo be added to a property if it's not for sale?
    It was a house I had been looking at for a while not far from a friend's house. This house was already sold back in 2016. In January it had a different photo when you googled the address. Photo had changed.The house isn't up for sale though. Just wondering do they normally change the photo on properties. First the car was in front of the garage in the driveway now it is on the sidewalk. I thought normally something changes with the home when there's a new photo or is it just for google?

    It was typed in on google but took you to Zillow so I guess it shoes the photo from google. The car was located in one spot than it was in different spot. We felt that it was a new photo for a reason. It's a nice house. This was in January that the photo showed updated though.

    Google's a search engine that photographs street views and regularly offers new views of a property. Googling not only will give you a list of any websites that that address is on but also will show the newest google street view at that address.

    It's just a new, updated street view.

    At the end of December, a new photo might show Santa's sleigh and reindeer on the roof!
