Think the Zestimate is accurate for the home you are trying to buy or sell? If so, think again.
I priced a home that I was listing at $2.4 million. When I looked up the Zestimate, Zillow had it valued at $1.4 million. Many phone calls and emails later, they changed the Zestimate to $2.3 million. We all know perception is often people’s reality. So, what Zillow says about your home when you’re trying to sell unfortunately makes a difference. If a realtor named Cara from the Detroit area can convince Zillow to bump up a value by $1 million and Zillow’s CEO sold his home for 60% of the Zestimate, nothing more needs to be said about the accuracy of their pricing methods.
