If you are selling a home, should you expect to list/sell for the amount Zillow says your house is worth? Here are a few reasons to not totally trust your Zestimate:
Our local market is a mystery to Zillow.
Zillow canβt take into account hyper-local market conditions. It’s like navigating a new city without GPS β it finds itself going in circles.
Your home is unique; Zestimate algorithms donβt recognize that.
Zestimate algorithms are oblivious to what makes your home unique. They rely heavily on publicly available data, missing out on your homeβs special features and upgrades.
Zillow has admitted theyβre not always accurate.
Even Zillow says that a Zestimate is a “starting point” and not meant to replace a formal appraisal.
If you want to know what your home is REALLY worth, try this:
Contact one of our local agents with your Zestimate. We will send you a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) tailored to your home β no strings attached.
