Your house sounds very nice. I am sure that they are projects that would be appreciated by a buyer when you go to sell and you can enjoy them in the meantime too, but honestly Zillow is limited in their estimates.

The problem is that Zillow cannot see any of your remodeling unless it it reflected in a number like a higher assessment or a higher sales price. All they have is numbers. You can update your home facts to reflect any square footage that you added. That can help make your Zestimate more accurate.

Zillow used to have a feature called the owner's estimate where you could show added value on your home page for additions/remodels, but it is bring reworked from what I read and is supposed to be back in the site in April. Until then, you can add a Zestimate comment to tell people looking at your home page about the remodels not included. As the owner, you have to do what you can to make your home page accurate so that people looking can see beyond Zillow's one number and see all the work that you have put in that Zillow cannot see.

Hello. Secret discussion listed under kitchens, huh? ;) Are you looking for ideas or remodeling? Zillow is a great place to get input, so start the discussion or post your question and see what people have to say.
