My home zestimate value is incorrect

Profile picture for pkimchang
How do I get the zestimate on my home corrected?  The zestimate is far below the actual recent purchase price and also is not consistent with the market.  There are other homes with much smaller square footage, acreage, etc., that are listed on zillow with a higher zestimate.  How do I get this corrected?  People value zillow only if it is known to be accurate.

Hi Patricia,
Zillow does a basic estimate until you give the details about your specific home.  It's not unusual for the estimates to be off as they don't take all of the details into consideration.  Try changing the info. a bit and see if that helps  If you have any questions, you can call me or email me direct.

Hi Patricia -

I checked your account and you haven't claimed your house on Zillow. We suggest that you claim your property so you can make the corrections in your home facts. The updates you'll make may gradually change your home's Zestimate. Also, please note that Zestimate is only an opinion and does not represent the current market value of a property. The accuracy of a home value would still have to be based on an actual appraisal conducted for your home. You may want to check on this link.

Thank you.

I would keep in mind, Zestimate is a average of what homes are selling for in any given neighborhood or city. It's bases soley on the data in Zillow. If you want a clearer view of values in any given area, look to MLS. The MLS system is what every other website pulls from. MLS is the information highway and is what appraisers use in appraising values of any given home in any given neighborhood. It's based on recent solds not averages overall. In order to determine what someone will pay for a home in today's marketplace, you need to look at the last 6months. Appraiser won't go past the last 6 months due to the fact the market is changing. So look there for the best and brightest data. Thank you for your question.
