“Well Zillow says my house is worth…”
Me: “Zillow has never walked through your house.”
Zillow doesn’t know:
✅ The condition of your home
✅ The updates you’ve made
✅ The deferred maintenance
✅ The neighborhood nuances
✅ What buyers are actually paying right now
A Zestimate is a starting point, not an appraisal and definitely not a market strategy.
The difference between what Zillow says and what a buyer is willing to pay can be tens of thousands of dollars.
