Repeat after me: My Zestimate is a tool, not a guarantee. 📢 From experience, we can confidently say that you still need a real estate agent to help you price appropriately. That's because a Zestimate is an automated valuation model that uses a variety of data points, including: ✔️ Public records like property taxes, sales history, and assessments. ✔️ Recent sales of similar properties in your neighborhood. ✔️ Property characteristics like size, # of bedrooms and bathrooms, lot size, and amenities. While Zestimates can be a helpful starting point, they often lack the accuracy needed for making informed decisions: ❌ They don't account for unique features that can SIGNIFICANTLY impact your home's value (like renovations, upgrades, or stunning views.) ❌ They may not fully reflect local market trends, economic factors, and seasonal variations that can influence home prices. ❌ They can't assess a property's condition. ❌ They can't factor in real-time market sentiment. A recent client came to us with a Zestimate of $879,000. We pulled comps, tweaked for the home's unique features, and ended up selling for 15% above their Zestimate. Reach out today to see how we can help you price your home competitively so that you receive the best possible return on your investment!
