How do you come up with your zip estimates? How can I correct it?

Profile picture for connorsacct

My condo unit at 24B Nantucket Falmouth Ma and listed $80000 less than 24A which does not make sense.  When purchasing this unit it was $10000 lower than 24A. I have a roof deck and my waterview cannot be jeopadized like 24A can be if our neighbors build a house in front. Can you please correct your zoo estimate on 24A Nantucket Ave.

There are several things to consider when looking at Zestimates:

a.  Accuracy of data:  24A has a lot of conflicting information with multiple records on Zillow  The size ranges from 1800 something to 2200-something  The bedroom number and bathroom number vary from records so the Zestimates are all over the place.

b.  What is and isn't included in the Zestimate - a Zestimate is calculated from the core facts from public sources on a property.  Zillow doesn't know if someone has a roof deck, or a waterview that can't be blocked etc.  Those features go way beyond what is available from public sources, therefore these are not part of the calculations.   This is why a Zestimate is described as a starting point for comparison of properties and doesn't substitute for an appraisal.
