yep, once good thing zillow can do is give you a good visual representation of your local area and what properties are listed at. your realtor will have more accurate info but it could give you a mental picture of how you stack up against your competition.

Yep. Zillow lists my home way above market value because it heavily relies on total square footage. The county only utilize compatibles and last known assessment.
According to Zillow I own the most expensive house in the neighborhood. |

we had the exact opposite issue depending on the day. some days it would show roughly what it should be other times it was off 90k (again i know this because my wife is a realtor). its annoying because some buyers do think zillow is very accurate and they get upset when the realtor has to explain why its not. |

I enjoyed looking at it because when we sold our house i was able to see what in our neighborhood was up for sale and i could see how we stacked up against the comp. for example some homes had dated kitchens and maybe a bigger backyard but ours was full of mature trees since we backed up to an old farmer hedge row. Thus, we were able to highlight some things that we knew other homes didnt have. its all a process and i HATE moving. Sold our home in Olathe... roughly 2400 sq ft without the basement which if finished would have added another 800 sq ft or so. were building in Dallas (moved for a great job opportunity) and getting almost double the sq ft (around 4300 total) and only paying 30k more than we sold our house for. its all about location and timing .... and gosh dangit i DO NOT want to have to move again. that was my second family relocation..that first was from Gardner, KS to Munich, Germany....sorry i digress. |
