Hey there! If you're relying on a Zillow Zestimate for an accurate home valuation, you may want to think twice. While Zillow has been known to provide relatively accurate estimates based on data like year built, number of bedrooms, and square footage, they've recently changed their algorithm which can skew the results. Even when Zillow was fairly accurate, it was still just an estimate and not a true valuation. Don't worry though, we're here to help you get an accurate home valuation without relying on Zillow or other similar sites. Our team is known for outstanding client service, experienced business practices, and ingenious marketing strategies that make us the most trusted team in the area.
A home valuation is just a fancy way of saying what the value of your home is. They are used during real estate transactions such as buy-sell or refinances to ensure homeowners or buyers are not overborrowing for a property. The home is used for collateral in a mortgage, and if the borrower defaults on his or her loan, the lender will sell the home to recoup the money lent to buy it. If the home was overvalued and they lent too much, they could lose money. The home valuation ensures they will be able to recoup costs should the mortgage not be paid in full.
A Zillow Zestimate is an automated home valuation tool and is recommended as a starting point when determining the value of your home. It incorporates user-submitted and public data and takes into account home facts, location, and market conditions. Zestimates are done entirely online, and no representative of Zillow will visit your home to perform an appraisal. Banks and lenders do not use Zillow or similar services to estimate property and instead rely on the expertise of a licensed appraiser. A Zestimate can be off by nearly 5% nearly 40% of the time in some markets, which amounts to around $15,000 on a $300,000 home.
