How do i update the square footage on my home

Profile picture for jaypompano

Zillow states that my home is 3 sq. ft. total. That's incorrect (also impossible). It's 3200 sq. ft. and is decreasing the value on the website. How do I change this?

The Zestimate doesn't immediately update, this is normal.  If you've made major changes, it tends to roll out slowly with full effect of the edits at several weeks to several months after the edits.   The last one I monitored carefully was 8 weeks.   I suspect it is to keep people from gaming the system, but don't have insiders info on the logic behind the slow incorporation of the numbers in the system.

Thanks I just did that. Didn't immediately update the value. Any thoughts on whether or not it will update as part of some overnight batch job?
