TO ZILLOW OR NOT TO ZILLOW?

Many of you have mentioned that you have seen your home estimated on Zillow.com. At first glance, it appears to be a really useful service. The Zestimate can be very exciting when you see what Zillow estimates your property at. However, if you view the details, you will see that there is a range of value plus or minus 10%. Recently, Zillow has come under fire from the National Community Reinvestment Coalition stating that Zillow's estimates are less than 30% accurate.

The problem with websites providing estimates of homes is that it is near impossible to factor in all the variables relating to each unique geographic area to come to a truly accurate estimate. Marco Island has plenty of unique variables to take into account. Therefore, we, as Realtors, must use objective, as well as subjective, reasoning to come to a conclusion on the market value of a property. However, the real determining factor in pricing a property still comes down to WHAT THE BUYERS ARE WILLING TO PAY?

So, if your looking to get an estimate on your home, your first call should be to a local Realtor. We are equipped with the knowledge to price your home effectively by considering ALL the variables in our unique market. We are here to help!
