The organization that manages the residential real estate listings in the nation’s third-largest city and its surrounding suburbs has suspended data access for Zillow Group Inc., part of what has become an escalating feud between the listing behemoth and brokerage firm Compass Inc.
People that lazy that they just cover sleeping people with blankets? Lol
So we listed our home last year for 1,325,000. Zestimate 1,285,000. We eventually lowered it by 75,000 to 1,250,000. Same day Zestimate changes to 1,223,000. House goes off market later in the year.
This year we list for 1,250,000, again Zestimate is 1,210,000. We really want this to move so we lower the price to 1,175,000 same day Zestimate changes to 1,148,500. Later we drop our price to our rock bottom 1,099,500. Zestimate changes same day to 1,048,000.
I know the numbers are BS, the house is appraised at 1,220,000. We just have to move and eat the loss. But the average person for some reason puts a lot of stock in these numbers. All they see is a house that has seen its price dropped by 150,000 that is STILL overpriced.
We bought it for 900,000 had a bad roof install, major damage and then spent 495,000 to rebuild the entire exterior envelope of the home. At 1,099,500 we are sitting on a 300,000 K loss but have no choice but to move.
The arbitrary nature of the Zestimate is frustrating because it is so influential in the public zeitgeist.
Edit: Sorry I should have posted the actual property, this is the property in question: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/34214-S-Glenn-Miller-Pr-SE-Kennewick-WA-99338/120153004_zpid/?utm_medium=referral
Okay so I’ve been researching Kissimmee and other areas surrounding Orlando to potentially move there in the next few months. I noticed on Zillow there are tons of houses listed as up for auction. What is the reason for that? Is it hard to maintain a job down there, sketchy realtors that don’t disclose proper info., crime rates, or anything I should be aware of before continuing to look in the area? Just kind of threw a red flag for me and I was curious. Sorry if this is a stupid question/post or a known thing.
There are too many dead leads and responding to the real ones on time take too long. Is this a struggle other people face?
I can't count the times I've found a nice property on zillow only to dig down into the data and find it's got a property tax I don't like. I have a maximum number in mind and I'd like to make a filter to block properties above my max.
