Zillow is immensely popular right now, as buyers and sellers alike typically start the real estate process by going to the website for information. But should you really trust everything you find on Zillow?

Zillow is very user-friendly and has some great information; the problem is it also has a lot of misinformation. For instance, they often have listings on their website that have expired or are under contract or sold. If you are serious about finding a home, you're wasting your time by looking through the listings on Zillow.

We have a fully updated and accurate Multiple Listing Service that is free for buyers to use. While Zillow has a lot of great features that makes it fun to look at homes, they aren't very accurate and they don’t take into account the unique features of your home. Zillow won’t know if you have a 50-foot dock or if you have a beautiful view of the lake.



It's best to take the information on Zillow with a grain of salt.


For sellers, it's crucial to take the home evaluations, or Zestimates, with a grain of salt. Zestimates are typically off on the sales price by 5-15%. If you're trying to price your home or check out what is going on in your neighborhood, I highly recommend either getting an appraisal (which will cost you a couple hundred dollars) or use a real estate professional (which is free!).

If you have any questions about this, or if you would like real estate assistance of any kind, please give us a call or shoot us an email. We're here to make your real estate experience as stress-free as possible!
