If you updated the bathrooms, and increased square footage etc, then it is likely to affect the Zestimate taking time (approx 8 weeks).
Basements tend to be called out separately from the square feet of the house. They do add value, but not as much as above grade finished square feet.

It will take a couple of months to update. Be patient with it. Make as many corrections as you can. There is also an option to leave a note as a homeowner where you can add details about the neighborhood or location that might be overlooked in an algorithmically calculated "estimate".

But the room numbers were incorrect, the number of bathrooms and number of garages. The fireplace was built at TIME OF CONSTRUCTION. I edited for finished square footage NOT finished and unfinished. My basement is as large as my 1st floor with 10 ft ceilings. Should I have included both finished and unfinished square feet?
Thanks;

There are a couple of two possibilities:
The Zestimate is calculated from the core public facts on a home, such as room number, size, location, previous sales price, tax assessment. Zestimates are not considering upgrades, pools, views, fireplaces, barns,etc. except as reflected in previous sales prices.
If your edits were in one of the core features (such as square footage), it takes time to fully reflect in the Zestimate. The last one I monitored carefully was 8 weeks. It looks as if you edited your information a couple of weeks ago.

I updated my home w/the correct increased amenities. No improvement in price. Why?
