Bloggers - Take Heart, I Think We're Making Progress!

I received an email from Zillow this week saying a Consumer had posted a question on one of my listing. Here is the question the reader asked:

"We just wondered if they were in grave need to sell this and if they would accept the zestimate"

The listed asking price for this house is $299,500. Zillow's zestimate is $204,000 to $211,00!

Where do they get their comparables for my area? I've done my homework (CMA) and have the figures to support the listing price.

Is there some wiggle room? Of course there is..... but not $95,000!

House prices have fallen in Onslow County, North Carolina like they have all over the country but not that much.

Back to the question the Consumer asked? Go back and read it again.....could it be that Consumers do understand that Zillow's Zestimates are not always realistic?

Perhaps the Consumer is more savy than we give them credit for.

Take heart fellow Blogger, perhaps our efforts at educating Consumers is not falling on deaf ears after all.

Keep up the good work!
