For all you proficient bloggers out there this is my first blog. I feel like I am dipping my toe in the vast ocean of information and talent. It is both scary and exciting. I was introduced to this site via a class I attended at my office Keller Williams Realty in San Rafael, Marin County by a very elequent gentleman by the name of Pat Kitano founder of Transparent Real Estate Technologies to whom I am most grateful.
So about Zillow. I have been a fan of Zillow from the begining. I enjoy discussions with my more tech savvy clients about their zestimates. I do, however, question how they come up with their pricing. For instance on a particular street in Novato, Marin County a 3 bed 2 bath house with 1200 sq ft is for sale for $615K. On the same street ziillow has priced houses with less sq footage and one bath at $630K and higher. I assume they get their information from tax records and mls listings and sales but It boggles my mind how they come up with these prices.in this changing market. I advise my clients to take what they see with a grain of salt. It's a fun site but I can usually furnish them with a more realistic view.
