The Hidden Secrets of Zillow


Zillow says your home is worth what?? Zillow, the most popular online home search website out there, uses data and analytics to determine the value of your home. They do a great job at giving you a broad picture of what your home is worth and are useful tools to use to see what's going on in the market.


However, these sites do have some downfalls. They really do not take into account many variables that greatly affect your home's value. They don't account for supply and demand, nor do they factor in home renovations or location of the home.


We're not saying to ignore Zillow's estimates, but take them with a grain of salt, and talk to a real estate professional to help you analyze that data so you can best price your property. This strategy will net you a lot more money in the long term.


If you have any questions about the data you're seeing on Zillow or any other questions, let us know. Give us a quick email or phone call, we'd be glad to help you out!
