Zillow is a great place to research local real estate. However, you shouldn’t take their Zestimates too seriously. The site’s home estimates have been proven to be off by 8% in most cases.
For example, if Zillow says your home is worth $1 million, it could actually be worth $1,080,000 or $920,000. Zillow doesn’t know the street value of your home. It doesn’t understand the demand, supply, or what buyers are looking for in certain markets.
Inventory is incredibly low right now. Buyers recognize that. In fact, if they find a house they admire, they might overpay for the home based on what the last sale was because there aren’t a lot of choices out there. In other cases, when inventory is high, buyers have tons of choices, which also affects your home value.
