Value of my home is estimated to high

Profile picture for kendig
I want to be able to keep my home but the value you have put on it seems to high. I have a kitchen/dr combination, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, basement had been finished but needs to be totally redone because of pet damage, enclosed a deck.  New windows are needed, especially the bay window, there is no garage, sq feet is 987.  .3 acres.  How do you determine the value as there really are no houses comparable to this one

Hi Kendig,

Zillow uses an automated system comparing previous sales in your area to the public tax record information for your home. Therefore, they have no idea about the condition of your home, etc which does effect the value of your home.

The other, more important, thing that Zillow's zestimates miss is the human element. That "comparable" home might be in a much better or worse location or there might not be sufficient comparable at all.

If you would like to know what the value of your home in today's market, give me a call and I can provide you with a no obligation comprable market analyis of your home.
