New Post
It has been a long time since I last posted anything on my blog. With the new year I plan to get back to blogging. Stay tuned for information about home values, new homes on the market, and homes that have recently sold.
Zillow.com
From time to time I’m asked my opinion of Zillow.com’s “Zestimate”. Personally I believe Zillow to be a good tool for one to get a general idea of what is happening in the real estate market.
However, I caution homeowners not to put a lot of faith in the Zestimate tool for an individual home. From time to time after I’ve done a comparative market analysis (CMA) for one of my clients, I’ll compare it with Zillow and have found it sometimes high and sometimes low. I feel the accuracy on an individual property is questionable.
Zillow discloses the accuracy of its Zestimate. A link can be found at the bottom of the home page titled “Zestimate Values & Accuracy”. For example, according to their statistics in Seattle, 75% of the time they are within 20% of a home’s value, 51% of the time they are within 10% of a home’s value, and 28% of the time they are within 5% of a home’s value. For this they give themselves a 4 star rating which is their highest rating.

I am confident when I say that a Realtor who has knowledge of a neighborhood will provide a much more accurate value of a home.
