Recently, we asked you to send in your questions, and today I would like to answer one that we got from Diane. Diane asks, “I would like to know why the estimates on Zillow and Trulia are so low. How can you get a real sense of what your house is currently worth?”

Zillow, Trulia, and other online home valuation tools use an algorithm to estimate your home’s value. The algorithm relies on other homes that have sold in your area, the age of your house, and the size of your house. The computer then takes all of that information and spits out a value.
Your local real estate agent or appraiser can help you figure out what your home is worth.
Keep in mind that because those values are computer-generated, there are many variables that those estimates do not take into account. Location is an important factor, too. For instance, a house on a busy street might not be worth as much as a house on a quiet cul de sac. A lot of those nuances are things that your local agent will be able to take into account.

Even if you look on Zillow’s website, you will see that they say the Zestimate is accurate within 7% of your home’s value about 50% of the time. That means that the other half of the time, the Zestimate is off by more than 7%. If your home is worth $200,000, that means Zillow is probably off by at least $14,000.

So, how do you know what your home is currently worth? As real estate agents, we can compare your home to similar properties in your neighborhood and give you a rough idea of your home’s value. We will look at the condition of your home, the upgrades and updates you have made, and figure out what your home is worth.

Another way to find your home’s value is to order an appraisal, which costs about $400. The appraiser will do a very scientific breakdown of the homes near yours that are similar in age and size. They will find the property most similar to yours and compare the two. For instance, if you have an extra bathroom or bigger lot, your value will be a little higher. On the flip side, if the other house is in better condition than yours, your value will be a little lower.

The reality is that your house is worth a combination of what you are willing to sell it for and what a buyer is willing to pay for it in the current market. If you have any questions about what your home is worth, just give us a call or send us an email. We would be happy to help you!
