why is my zestimate so low ? after i've added lots of wonderful features ?

Profile picture for pjdaoust825
since moving into our house 2 /12 years ago, we have added a 3 car garage with unfinished space above, a full width porch, a sunroom and painted the whole house inside and out, plus replaced the driveway and refurbed a bathroom, replaced the A/C unit, added insulation to the ceilings, added storm windows, etc. etc. etc. Yet the zestimate relects none of these improvements. When do I get credit for all my work ? PJD

Zillow receives their information from public record - so what's on file with the city/county assessors office is what Zillow has to provide... Hope this helps!

You would like "credit" for all of your work... I am sure you get that credit everyday when you enjoy the "wonderful features" you have added. With that said. The zestimate is based on public records and other general information. You could paint every room in the home with solid gold paint and buy diamond studded faucets and it probably wouldn't show in your zestimate. Your Zestimate is an estimate of value what you need to determine the new value is a professional appraisal or at least a CMA. which will not show up as the "Zestimate".
