How is this home worth this kind of money in this market...or any for that matter?

The zillow estimate and homeowner estimate are not even close. I can see even a 50,000 gap but 300,000 is crazy. This is a beautiful home that most likely would have been sold if priced correctly especially with owner financing!  Builders/flippers need to come down to earth and realize the housing boom is over. This beautiful home will sit and waste.

This is a truly unique property that is very difficult to value. Online (electronic) valuations like Zestimates can only discern values from static data like size, number of bedrooms, acreage, etc, they can't digest subjective nuances like this being a restored barn, etc. They simply take the input and compare it to other listings and properties in the given geography. The MARKET WILL determine, ultimately, what the correct value is based on the number of showings, feedback, and eventually what it sells for. A good Realtor will guide sellers through the process with a strategy designed to constantly measure those tangible market effects on a given property. Alas, some people think going it alone, and in some cases allowing their emotionally-tainted perspective on their property to guide them is most effective. The subject property has now been listed 7 times with a limited service company so the amount of actual marketing of the property and a specific strategy for getting it sold, as well as meaningful input from the "market" may be lacking.

I think it is wonderful that owners (builders, flippers, investors, residents) are free to market a property at any price they choose.  And buyers are free to look or ignore it.

Look at the zestimate value range - it is huge.  Which implies the zestimate is truly a guesstimate and so should not be considered by anyone looking for houses in that location.
