Lately, we have found that more and more home sellers are using sites like Zillow to estimate the value of your home. After doing some research, we realize that this is probably not your best course of action. Today we are going to talk to you about why Zillow is only accurate in their home valuations 7% of the time.

You need to be careful when basing your home’s value on an automated home valuation site like Zillow. If you take a look at their fine print, you can see that it states they are accurate about 7% of the time. That means the other 93% of the time, they are inaccurate! If I was inaccurate 93% of the time, there is no way I would have been in business for 15 years.

Accuracy is very important when valuing a home. I would rather hurt you with the truth and an accurate, objective valuation, than make you feel good with a lie. The truth is, Zillow has not been inside your home. They are basing their value of basic facts and figures, without getting the full picture of your home’s value.


When you give me or my team a call, one of my home selling specialists will be able to walk through your home and take note of any improvements, features, and upgrades that you have made. Things that make your home unique, and provide your home with additional value. We will use true information, based on knowledge, to give you the most accurate home value possible.
