Zillow estimates my home at $212,000, and the home next door at $260,000. Why such a difference?

The homes are comparable in most ways, the biggest difference is mine is actually a larger home.  My home is a custom home on a lot, but the comparisons shown by Zillow is of smaller tract homes on city lots.

There are several factors that can lead to the reason why the house next door to yours is valued at a higher price. I can better assist you if you send me the address of your home and the house you are comparing it to. Having the exact addresses I can look at the specs on each house and find an explanation for the difference in price.
