By the way, for the non-disclosure states, it is believed that Zillow is modeling to list price instead of "sold" price due to the difficulty of getting the "sold" information, but obviously, this is proprietary information and they won't tell us.

Kathryn,
Montana is a nondisclosure state. Zillow will not be very helpful determining the fair market value of your home. If you call a realtor and ask for a CMA you can get a good starting point.
Best Wishes,
Tamara

Hi Kathryn -
This is Neil from Zillow.
Our data may not be sufficient enough to generate a Zestimate for a property. Like if we don't have a transaction history around the property or if you are in a non-disclosure state.
By the way, Zestimate is just a starting point to know the home's estimated market value. It is not an appraisal.
You may click on this link to further check.
Thank you.
