What on Earth Is a Zestimate and Is It Accurate? First things first, let’s define a Zestimate. By Zillow’s own account, a Zestimate is the “estimated market value” of a property. By estimated, they mean a home value assigned using proprietary computer algorithms developed by statisticians.

- Or about 58% higher then the market was willing to pay. Zillow’s price here was $20k low and this home sold in only 10 days showing that the $245k list price was well within the market for this property. This Zillow estimate was off by $26,500 or 6% but still not that bad and I would consider it a realistic estimate.

How Accurate is Zillow and the Zestimate When Valuing Houses? Zillow uses what they call a Zestimate to give values on homes for almost every house in the United States. The problem with the Zestimate, is it uses a computer algorithm to come up with a value. When valuing real estate you need to have real people valuing homes in order to be accurate.

Zestimate Armed with an understanding of how the Zestimate is calculated and the Zestimate Data Accuracy table, you can explain-and show Zillow's own accuracy numbers and talk about why the Zestimate is a good starting point as well as a historical reference, but it should not be used for pricing a home. Be proactive. Zestimate, on the other hand, is an estimate of the market value of a home, and can change when we have a better algorithm to estimate that value. Note: We never allow future information to influence a historical Zestimate (for example, allowing a sale in 2009 to influence a Zestimate in 2008).

Are Zillow Home Value Estimates Accurate The problem is, the estimates – or “Zestimates” as Zillow calls them – are not always accurate. In fact, they can be wildly off, leaving the buyer or seller worse off than before they looked at them. Zillow may do its best to give you an accurate price of what a home is worth.In the end though, it is only an automated system that cannot think for itself. It cannot account for variations in any number of things – variations that substantially alter the price from any sort of “average”.omparable sales are only one tool in measuring the value of a home and Zillow is not so great at using this information as it should be used. Zillow in fact does a good job informing consumers that Zestimates may not be accurate in this web page.

How Accurate is Zillow and the Zestimate When Valuing Houses? Zillow says this home is worth $165,000 and the rental amount is not listed (I am not sure why they list rent values in some, but not others). This value is much more accurate, and I would estimate this house is also worth right around $170,000.

Are Zillow Home Value Estimates Accurate What most sellers don’t understand is that Zillow estimates values of over 100 million homes across the country. It would be impossible for them to accurately predict the value of every home in America. They don’t know what if anything we do to our homes.ou may be thinking after ready the above information that I am not a fan of Zillow. Actually that is really far from the truth. I love everything about Zillow except for their Zestimates of value. The other information that Zillow gathers can be really useful when you are buying or selling a home.
