Where did Zillow go wrong? ›

In a quarterly earnings call, CEO Rich Barton said Zillow was unable to correctly forecast future home prices amid volatility in the pandemic-driven housing frenzy. Indeed, an unexpected desire for new housing by work-from-home Americans, combined with ultralow mortgage rates, drove U.S. housing prices to new highs.

“It was not the monetary headline that drove [Zillow's] price decline,” said Dan Kurnos, managing director at the Benchmark Company. “It was the multitude of articles 'guaranteeing' the death of the real estate agent and the buyer's commission that likely prompted the drop.”

How much can I negotiate on a new house? In a buyer's market, it can be acceptable to offer up to 20% under a seller's asking price, assuming the home in question requires hefty repairs. Otherwise, you're better off negotiating 1% – 10% below the asking price.

How accurate is the Zestimate? The nationwide median error rate for the Zestimate for on-market homes is 2.4%, while the Zestimate for off-market homes has a median error rate of 7.49%. The Zestimate's accuracy depends on the availability of data in a home's area.

That doesn't only include talking the price and other terms with a potential buyer — you can also negotiate with your real estate agent. If you're successful, you can close the deal with more money in your pocket.

The phrase literally means that 50% of the time the Zestimate is within 2% of actual value and 50% of the time it's not. The median accuracy rate is only within about 2% if the property being Zestimated is currently listed for sale.

Homes with more page views and more pictures sell more quickly. Homes priced higher than their estimated market value sell more slowly.

A dedicated team of specially trained moderators will evaluate all reviews before they are published. Reviews must adhere to Zillow's Good Neighbor Policy and Real Estate Professional Rating and Review Policy which means all contributed content must be respectful and appropriate.

How accurate are online home value estimates? Results from even the best home value estimators can vary widely. Each tool uses its own algorithm, which takes specific data into account, but none are as accurate as an in-person assessment from a licensed home appraiser.
