The sq ft for our house was put in wrong at the county by builder using similar house. How do we fix

Profile picture for DesireeMacDonald Moore
Our home is in a sub division called Lake Manassas. We purchased the home in 2004. It is the only type in our section. The house has a bigger foot print and we added a loft up stairs as well. The builder, must have used a similar house - square footage wise when they turned in the info to the county. Is it worth it to get fixed and if so how do we do this. We are thinking about selling the home within the next 2 years.

The wrong square footage could definitely make a difference in your Zestimate. You can edit your home facts immediately and that should make your Zestimate more accurate especially if the square footage is off. You can use the yellow "edit" pencil under the house photo to "claim ownership". and then you will be able to edit the sqaure footage with the "edit home facts" in the same menu.

Changes are immediate, but if they changes you make affect your Zestimate that can take up to 6-8 weeks to show up. Hope it helps.
