Zestimate, ShmestimateDo you think the Zestimate listed for your home is correct or incorrect? Zillow uses a computerized estimate based on tax records, which isn't always going to be the correct way to value a home. Often, the tax records don't even list your correct square footage!Additionally, Zillow doesn't know if you have a fabulous location, or if you are on a busy street. They don't know if you have a new $100,000 kitchen or an old kitchen. They don't know if your neighborhood is highly desirable andif your schools are sought after. They don't even know if your home is in a safe neighborhood, or if drive-by shootings are the norm! They don't know if there is an over-supply of homes for sale in your neighborhood, or hardly any homes for sale in your neighborhood. All of these factors contribute to the true value of your home. Zillow is really meant to be just the beginning of the home valuation process.
