Screenshot of a Twitter post by Ryan Lundquist, discussing a property's Zestimate history and price changes.
September 15, 2023
@SacAppraiser | Ryan Lundquist Zestimate history. This property in Roseville listed at $349K, and the Zestimate matched the list price at $349K despite comps being above $600K. After 11 days the price went to $699K (sold $638K). Today's Zestimate shows no history of $349K. Maybe a brief Zestimate gets erased?

How Accurate Is My Zestimate Home Valuation? | The Jill Biggs Group Have you ever wondered just how accurate Zillow's Zestimate really is when it comes to estimating the value of your home? 🏠💰 In this video, we delve into the world of Zestimates and break down the factors that influence their accuracy. 🔍 What is a Zestimate? The Zestimate is Zillow's proprietary home valuation model that provides an estimate of a property's market value. By utilizing a mix of public records, Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data, and user-contributed information, Zillow's formula calculates an estimated value. The model also takes into consideration various factors such as property details, location, and current market trends. 📊 How is a Zestimate Calculated? Discover the intricate details behind the algorithm that powers Zestimates. We'll explain the data sources used, including publicly available records and user-generated data, and how these inputs are processed to generate an estimate. Uncover the role of MLS data and how it contributes to refining the accuracy of the Zestimate...
Don't Believe Online Home Value Estimates
June 24, 2023
"Those online estimates are simply that: estimates" | Barbara Bellesi Zito My husband and I browse real estate listings occasionally, but we’re perfectly content to stay where we are until both the market and mortgage rates behave themselves again. For kicks, we recently checked out the estimated value of one very interesting listing: our own home. The number surprised us both. “Should we call a real estate agent and start packing?” my husband asked. We came to our senses, of course, fully aware that those online estimates are simply that: estimates. But if this particular site were indeed to be believed, our house was worth $122,000 more than what we bought it for seven years ago. Another listing site pulled up the same figure, while a third offered a more conservative estimate, which was still $68,000 more than what we paid. I did reach out to a few real estate agents, not to list our home, but to get their advice on whether anyone should believe those online home value estimates. Here’s why they think you should take what you see with a proverbial grain of salt...

An Asset To The Real Estate Community

"Damon is a true professional and an asset to the real estate community. I hired him as my agent to help with the sale of a property in Clearlake, CA. I live out of state and had not been to the property in years. It was a very complex and long process due to several obstacles with the property. Damon went WAY above the call of duty and handled everything that was thrown our way with the ultimate professionalism. He truly cares about his clients and any time there was any sort of problem or situation that arose, he would do the research and find possible solutions before he contacted me to discuss our options. I cannot say enough about the quality of work and Damon’s dedication to providing excellent service. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Damon to anyone looking for a quality Realtor." -Lee E

The House Was Priced Right

"We worked with Damon for the sale of our home on Cobb. About a year and a half earlier, he came to our home and evaluated the property. We told him it wouldn't be for sale for a year, yet he still came out anyway, which was great! He gave us some recommendations, which we followed. When it came time to sell, we called Damon again, and he still had our file from the last conversation. We went over all the details and how things would work. The house went on the market, and we had three offers on the first day. I know that's not typical, but I believe because we did some work a year earlier, kept an eye on the market, and with Damon's help, the house was priced right. I would highly recommend Damon if you are thinking of selling your home." -Collen Lindstrom

Damon Was Awesome to Work With

"Damon was awesome to work with. He was well knowledgeable of the area. I felt in good hands and was shown absolutely amazing properties, one of which I ended up buying. Since I am 2 hours away, I was nervous. But Damon was amazing at keeping me on top of things and helping me get to the finish line. If you want a great Realtor who knows the area and will be your advocate throughout the entire process, I can't recommend him enough!" -Catherine Hicks

Some Big Challenges

"The property we were looking to sell came with some big challenges. Damon took on those challenges undeterred. He gathered multiple bids, communicated every step of the way, and played the key role in getting the deal done. We would not hesitate to call on Damon should we ever have the need for a professional real estate agent in the Lake County area again." - Mark Juell

He Found Me A Better Option

"Damon went above and beyond to help me secure a lovely place. In fact, while I was looking, he found me a better option and worked closely with me on every possible detail to get the deal done. And he's a very nice and knowledgeable realtor as well which made for an overall great experience. I highly recommend him!" -Matthew Guelke

The Property Wasn't Even On The Market

He was great at all forms of communication and a pleasure to work with. Everything went fast and smooth and he made it all seem easy. We will definitely use Damon for any future real estate transactions." -Anne T
