Is Zillow Accurate?
Clients ask me all the time: Leigh, what do you think of Zillow? I think Zillow is a data point…and, typically a very poor one! Anyone who makes a buy, sell or hold decision for their most valuable investment based upon Zillow’s Zestimate should have their head examined. I’m not kidding. Do you think Zillow’s famous algorithm takes into account a home’s floor plan? How about a home’s condition? Landscaping? Age of windows, roof and systems? Garage age and usability? And, most importantly, location within the neighborhood?
Even if all of those qualitative attributes are considered by Zillow’s algorithm, does Zillow even have the correct quantitative data to accurately give you a value based on your home’s square footage? Do they consider seller concessions? How do they adjust square footage when it’s not reflected correctly in public records (happens all the time)? Do they delineate between above grade square footage and below grade square footage? If only valuing a property were as simple as Zillow would have you believe, buying and selling a house would be easy! If Zillow were accurate, you could just order a house with a click of the mouse from the comfort of your living room couch…and life would be swell!
Seriously, don’t rely on Zillow! Here’s an example that strikes close to home (literally, my home!) where Zillow has gotten it completely wrong! The house at the end of my block sold in April, so I was super interested in this sale and the ultimate value of this comparable home when it sold last year. I mean, it’s a Denver Square…just like my house. It’s in a similar condition and has 3 beds and 2 baths upstairs just like my house. It only has one car garage, however, and it’s one house off of busy 8th Avenue…I hope that Zillow adjusts my value relative to its value for these factors. Well, let’s see…
It sold for $58,000! $58,000? What? I mean WHAT?! Those buyers got the deal of the century!…a Central Denver home for $58,000! Oh, wait…That can’t be correct. Oh, okay…Phew…Zillow is wrong. According to the MLS, it sold for $580,000…just a slight typo I guess (that still hasn’t been fixed after 11 months!). Ok…let’s look further. Wow, it’s 2,914 SF? Really? That’s bigger than it looks! Oh, okay…according to the MLS, it’s actually 2,132 SF above grade, but Zillow is combining above and below grade square footage and counting it like it’s all the same. Hmmm…interesting. I wonder if Zillow has accurate data on my house. Wait…Zillow has my house listed as 1,708 SF which is correct but only reflects my above grade square footage, so Zillow isn’t giving me any credit for my basement and is treating my neighbor’s basement like it’s above grade!
Luckily, I pay no attention to Zillow when valuing homes…and, you shouldn’t either!
