How do you correct the Zestimate of my house?

Profile picture for allenmck
I am in the process of potentially selling my home.  I just had my home appraised by a licensed appraisal company who valued the house at $220,000 based off of comps and other factors.  Zillow's "Zestimate" says my home is worth $167,000.  I would like you to update your website to reflect the higher prices of my home and my neighborhood.  Your site is now widely popular and I do not want your -$50,000 value difference effecting potential buyers thinking its overpriced.

Thank you.

And how long before those changes "may affect" the Zestimate.?


At least people can put the Appraisal in the Owners comments so people can see how far off those silly Appraisers are ;)

After you've claimed your home on Zillow, you can enter the appraiser's opinion of value (with the date of the appraisal) into the section for owner's comments on the Zestimate.      Zestimates are automated calculations, and not adjusted manually.   If there are errors on the facts shown for your home on Zillow (bedrooms, baths, square footage, previous sales and/.or tax values), getting those corrected may affect the Zestimate.
