cmcanyon, Yikes! These types of real estate forums can be very misleading. Frequently, the information is not an accurate representation of the entire marketplace. Many agents, when submitting properties for public viewing, will either opt NOT to allow these types of forums to pull information in (which keeps those properties from being able to be used as comparables) or they purposely enter erroneous information (which completely skews the numbers for other properties).

When I look at the area around 2201 22nd Ave, it does appear that your property had a signifant price increase over the neighboring properties. However, the price that is reflected on the map is the "make me move" price entered. Blue house icons reflect a make me move price. When you look at the data for the house, zillow indicates that the value has decreased $10,000 in the past 30 days. As the Seward neighborhood has a variety of homes, both single family and multifamily, a competive market analysis is the most accurate way to identify the current market value of the property. I have been seeing a lot of competition on the lower priced homes in this area. Good luck.

If you are referring to the Zillow Zestimate, these numbers can fluctuate dramatically based on a number of factors such as price per square foot and other trends. Given the area you're in, what you may be seeing is some homes that were bought a few months back in foreclosure at a bargain, then remodeled and relisted/resold at a higher price. This scenario might make your Zillow estimate jump, as a good remodel job can significantly increase property value in a small time frame. Be careful with those Zestimates, they are fun to look at but can be deceiving! Hope that makes sense. -- Jim
I just received a zillow report and my home value just jumped significantly. I have no idea why
Is there any way to get an understanding behind the sudden 30 day climb upward?
