Summary
Zillow's "Zestimate" is often the first number homeowners see when they think about selling—but how reliable is it, really? In this episode, we break down how Zestimates are created, why they can miss the mark (sometimes by a lot), and the limitations of automated valuation models that don't account for condition, upgrades, location nuances, or current market momentum. We also explain why pricing a home correctly is one of the most critical decisions a seller can make—and why meeting with a knowledgeable local Realtor provides far more insight than an algorithm ever could. If you're thinking about selling and wondering what your home is actually worth, this episode will help you separate digital estimates from real-world value.
