David - Thanks for setting me straight. That's a much more reliable system then I was thinking then.Melinda - I wonder if the agent just hasn't updated the info. It will probably be posted within' the next week then.

This house is currently Under Contract. If you need help in finding more properties like this, give me a call, I would love to help out. Houses in this price range go quickly (this one went in 1 day!). So it's good to have a Realtor helping you so you can make quick, educated decisions.Thanks,Bryan Maynes - RealtorDwellings Real Estate801.631.7530 - Phonemaybry@wfrmls.com - Emailbryanmaynes.blogspot.com - Web

Zillow doesn't actually post sold information, unless the Owner or Realtor has submitted that information. Zillow relies on it's user's for it's knowledge base. This can be good and bad. In this case bad because it doesn't look like the listing was even posted on Zillow. The easiest way to find out this information may be to call a Realtor. I get calls everyday from people just wondering what their neighbors house sold for.I looked this property up on the Multiple Listing System and it looks like it is still Under Contract, meaning there isn't any Sold information until closing. If you would like more information on this listing at a later date give me a call or shoot me an email and I would love to keep you posted on the details.Thanks,Bryan Maynes - RealtorDwellings Real Estate801.631.7530 - Phonemaybry@wfrmls.com - Emailbryanmaynes.blogspot.com - Web

If you are interested in purchasing this property as a rental, a good resource for Fair Market Rents is HUD. According to their research in Salt Lake County Fair Market Rents for a 3 Bedroom unit are $1,005/mo. This of course isn't an exact number as some areas or units may garner higher or lower rents. You can find this and more information at:http://www.huduser.org/datasets/fmr/fmrs/select_Geography.odbor you can call/email me personally.Thanks,Bryan Maynes - RealtorDwellings Real Estate801.631.7530 - Phonemaybry@wfrmls.com - Emailbryanmaynes.blogspot.com - Web

Dean,This is a part of Zillow that I have never understood. You can actually have the same exact house side by side and Zillow will have 2 totally different prices and 2 totally different value changes. Also, Zillow is only as good as the information that it receives from it's user's. I always say that Zillow is good to get an idea of price ranges in a neighborhood, but when you need something more concrete you should look to the advice of a professional (ie: Appraiser of Realtor). If you have any questions on the value of a property I would be more than happy to help you out. I get calls everyday from people just wanting an idea of the value of their house.Thanks,Bryan Maynes - RealtorDwellings Real Estate801.631.7530 - Phonemaybry@wfrmls.com - Emailbryanmaynes.blogspot.com - Web

I would also like to add that Zillow shouldn't be used as a replacement for the opinion of a professional (ie: Appraiser or Realtor). To get a true idea if this is the right price for the home you should talk to one of them. I have found that the Zestimate is good to use as a guide for area pricing, but not as a substitute for professional opinion. If either of you need any help or have any questions please don't hesitate to give me a call or send me an email.Thanks,Bryan Maynes - RealtorDwellings Real Estate801.631.7530 - Phonemaybry@wfrmls.com - Emailbryanmaynes.blogspot.com - Web

Duke,Zillow is a good resource to get an "idea" of value. If you want a true idea of value you should talk to a professional, an Appraiser or a Realtor. I think Zillow has trouble with neighborhoods like Pepperwood because there is a lot of fluctuation within the neighborhood. For example within the Pepperwood area in the last 90 Days 11 homes have sold that range from $437,000 - $2,850,000.Now let me do a quick estimate of value for you, because I believe Zillow is way off on this one. In my opinion, if you were to list your home today I think you could get anywhere from $690,000 - $720,000, and it would sell in less than 90 Days. Depending on the condition and amount of upgrading you could possible push it up above $720,000.I hope that gives you a better idea of the value of your home. I get calls everyday from people just wondering what the value of their house is. Even if you aren't looking to sell, you can always give me a call or an email and I would be more than happy to give you an update.Thanks,Bryan Maynes - RealtorDwellings Real Estate801.631.7530 - Phonemaybry@wfrmls.com - Emailbryanmaynes.blogspot.com - Web

Appraisals are all subjective, you can get 20 different answers from 20 different appraisers. If you are referring to the "zestimate", that is far from an appraisal. Zillow should be used as a guideline to get an idea of prices, not a substitute for a professional opinion. Appraisals don't set market prices, buyers do, and if it is priced to high then it won't sell. A seller has every right to ask whatever price they want, and a buyer has every right to do their "due diligence" and make sure they are spending the right amount for a property.Thank You,Bryan Maynes - RealtorDwellings Real Estate801.631.7530 - Phone
