I ended up selling it this way. The new appraisal for the loan came back $500 higher. It was a win win for both and I sold the house very quickly this way. You can use zillow comps and have the same strategy, however, an appraisal done within 30 days for $395 turned out to be a good investment as it added immediate credibility to the value.
Zillow is shady as ****. Their values fluctuate worse than bitcoin. When you list your house on there- all buyer calls get funneled to an agent that is paying them for advertising. Then the agent pushes them to their own listings.
