What’s My Home Worth? Cons of Using Home Estimate Tools
We’ve all done it. Hungry for instant info about a home’s value, the lure of Zillow, Redfin, and other online home estimator tools beckon the homeowner to key in the address and get fast numbers. Sometimes the news is great; sometimes it’s disappointing. Truth is, the online sites lack information that only experienced realtors and appraisers know is essential, and often subjective, when valuing any property.
“The online estimators fail to tell an accurate story,” says Michael Carreno. “Subjective key details are nearly impossible for an online site to have.” Those subjective details ultimately impact the worth of your home. An experienced realtor or appraiser will seek key factors that include:
- Recent updates (kitchens, bathrooms)
- Condition of flooring, electrical, and plumbing
- Landscaping
- Proximity to parks, trains, busy streets, etc. and what it means for your house
- Visual details that a realtor or appraiser would know is in alignment with market trends
