Many Zillow “Zestimates” Are Wrong

The main problem with Zillow’s “Zestimates” is that they just can’t predict values accurately in markets where so many homes are custom and unique. So while a Zillow “Zestimate” can provide some indication of value for tract housing and developments where homes and lots are similar, in our unique corner of San Diego, there are too many variables that can not be accounted for by applying mathematical formulas and computer algorithms. So when the time comes to get a more accurate indicator of value, we encourage you to call us. We’re glad to help.

If you are thinking of selling your Bonsall, or South Fallbrook home, let us put our experience and hyper-local focus to work for you. It all starts with our unique method of preparing a customized Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) report specifically for your home. We use the most current local data — data only available to professional licensed real estate agents and appraisers. We then couple that data with our in-depth, on-the-ground knowledge of the South Fallbrook and Bonsall real estate marketplace. It’s this combination of data and professional judgement that gives us the edge over automated valuation systems like Zillow’s.

Call Marla for a more accurate assessment of what buyers might pay for your home. 760-521-2587.
