Something must be going on with realtor.com. I have a home for sale and they had the listing price $1,000,000 over my asking price. Once I contacted them, they corrected it immediately. I believe the site has a disclaimer for any incorrect “facts.” If you click on the listing agent’s URL, the listing price is usually correct.
“offer and acceptance” when price = $0 - Posted by ThosA

Some Realtors in my area have started stating the price as $0 on some of their Realtor.com listings, apparently to move the listing to the front of the line for more visibility. In Business Law class at university, I distinctly remember the concept of “offer and acceptance;” if someone makes an offer, I can accept it, even if it was a typo or honest mistake. Does this apply here? Would I have legal grounds to “accept” their “offer” of zero price? This could be fun!

I have not seen personally what you are talking about (when did that ever stop someone from commenting, though,) but I would imagine that their “offer” is actually an “offer to you to make an offer”. That is the way newspaper advertisemnets are regarded, I believe.
Try to buy one and let us know what their response is.
