Don' be concerned.
The zesimate has little, or no, relationship to actual market value.
There are disclaimers and explanations about this, here, on the site, but consumers find it upsetting when seeing a lower than expected number attached to their home.
My best advice- forget the zestimate.
You live in a wonderful town with wonderful schools and easy commute to the city........enjoy living there!
For the record - my zestimate is 15% HIGHER than what I could realistically get......and I also am forgetting about it (if only!).
As an FYI - to make yourself feel better - You might want to "claim" your home and edit any facts that are not correct, or rmake additonal comments regarding improvements you have made.
Happy New Year!
