THIS IS WHY YOUR ZESTIMATE IS WRONG
THIS IS WHY YOUR ZESTIMATE IS WRONG
REAL TALK: Your Zestimate is a good starting point, but there’s often a pretty big gap between that number and what your home could *actually* sell for in today’s market.
- Unique Neighborhood Factors
Estimates rely on algorithms, but they can’t account for the unique features or challenges of your specific neighborhood, street, or even your side of the block.
- Updates & Repairs
Zillow doesn’t know if you just replaced your roof or invested $50,000 into a new outdoor space when compared to your neighbor’s home that just sold and lacked those updates.
- Local Market Trends
Real estate markets shift quickly, and online estimates may not reflect the latest trends, buyer demand, or comparable sales in your specific area.
Online estimates can give you a rough idea of what your home may be worth, but your home deserves more than just a one-size-fits-all estimate — you deserve a personalized analysis from someone who knows your local market inside and out. After all, your home is unique and should be treated as such.
