William - I am so tired of consumers believing what their Zestimates say about their home value. Most of the time, they are just not even reasonable estimates, and the comps they use are not even comparable.

LOVE IT!!!  I love Zillow though.  It had a 1400sf listing of mine as 2500sf and my 2400sf home as 1800sf.  Such accurate and wonderful information.

I love what Zillow claims my house is worth.  However, for those who are about to list their house, you must come down to reality and let your local realtor determine the true value of your house.

I remind sellers (assuming the Z-estimate is high) that it is a Z “estimate” done by a computer.

"So tell them to buy it for that price" could be a response. Just because its on the Internet does not make it true!

That is why when considering selling your home, you would want to hire a professional who works in, and knows the market.

If you do that, and you follow their guidance and advice, you will have a much better likelihood of getting your home sold!

The professional.... a Realtor!
