How accurate is the “Zestimate” on your home?
To find out the value of their home, most people go to Zillow, type in their address, and check their Zestimate.
But is that number accurate?
Investopedia points out that, “Zestimates are only as accurate as the data behind them, so if the number of bedrooms or bathrooms in a home, its square footage, or its lot size are inaccurate on Zillow, the Zestimate will be off.”
So while Zillow is a good starting place, it’s not an end-all answer.
Be sure to also consider…
Repairs — If the home is in disrepair, that’s going to lower its value.
Updates — If the home needs a lot of updates to make it more modern, that’s going to lower its value.
Cleanliness — If the home is dirty and cluttered, buyers won’t be willing to pay as much for the home.
Marketability — If the home isn’t in the ideal area or price-point for buyers in your area, then it’ll take longer to sell and might sell for less.
