3 Reasons Why You Should Not Trust Your Zillow Estimates

If you are looking to sell and are basing the price of your home off what you see on Zillow, you are going to want to reconsider. Here are three VERY important reasons why you should not trust that Zillow estimate.

  1. Zillow is NOT Local - Zillow takes a general price of homes in your town/city and generates a home value from there.

  2. Missing Home Features - This one is BIG! Zillow has never been inside your home or around your neighborhood. Zillow is missing some MAJOR details, features or updates that can contribute to the price of your home.

  3.  It is Computer Generated - Zillow is taking the very basic information and generating a price from there. When attractive details and features are left out, there is potential to leave money on the table.

When it comes to selling your home in today's market, Zillow might make it seem easy but there are some key features and $$ that you could be missing out on. If you are planning to sell in the Cedar Falls or Waterloo area it is best to work with a licensed and experienced Realtor® who can guide you through the selling process. Our team of Oakies would love to assist you.
