Popular Lansing Michigan Tips for Home Owners, Sellers, and First Time Home Buyer: Should You Trust Zillow?






Lansing Michigan Homeowners and buyers, are you looking to buy a house after you get married, or sell your home? You probably searched popular third party websites like Zillow, Trulia, Homes.com, Realtor.com that list residential and condo properties for sale. Zillow may be the largest website of homes for sale, but be cautious when evaluating the property. First Time Home Buyers may not be aware of inaccurate information placed on property listings. For instance, has Zillow updated property information to indicate whether the home is still available for showings and tours? Has there been an accepted offer placed on the house that you may not know about? Are the pictures accurate? Is the location placed accurately on the map? The top problem is price, is this the actual price of the home or has there been a price reduction or increase? Often a seller will agree to lower the price on their home to draw traffic and attention to buyers. However, in some cases, websites like Zillow will not automatically update this information, leaving buyers out of the loop. It's best to contact REMAX Dewitt MI Real Estate Agents to get the best updated information on a house before your purchase. For Home Owners and Sellers, the top issue for selling a home on Zillow is the fear of Zestimate which can distort the price and value of a home. You may not be able to trust Zestimates on Zillow because it often displays a lower price than actual comps. For instance, property values can be based on renovations and improvements, and in this case, how does Zillow know you renovated your house by adding 3 bathrooms instead of 1? The answer, it doesn't. Therefore it cannot justifiably value your home worth.
