Does editing home facts change the zestimate?

Profile picture for xntr42
I purchased my home from a relative who had gutted it and rebuilt everything but the foundation and first floor stone walls, but the zestimate seems to only reflect value based on prior data. When I mortgaged the property four years ago it appraised for a great deal more than the current zestimate, and zillow claims that my neighborhood has actually increased in value over the last five years. Is there any way to rectify this?

Zillow cannot really see your remodels unless you post the new information or unless the remodels resulted in a higher tax assessed value or sale price. The best thing to do might be to do an owner's estimate. You can read more about it here. Any home facts you edit will change immediately, but if the changes that you make to your home page change your Zestimate that takes a little while to show up. I think mine took a little over two weeks. Hope the link helps.
