Home valuations
So what's a home valuation?
You can use it to make smarter real estate decisions by:
- Comparing property histories down the street, city wide or across the country
- Leveraging it for improvements, appraisals, refinancing, buying or evaluating property taxes
- Lowering your risk and increasing your return when marketing and selling a home
- Measuring appreciation, fluctuiation or depreciation from first sale to last purchase
How does a home valuation work?
Currently, Zillow calculates Zestimates® for more than 50 million homes.
Zillow determines home valuation using numerous data points. A real estate agent or appraiser physically inspects the home and takes special features, location and market conditions into account. Zillow then enters this information into a formula to calculate the homes estimated value.
