What happens if the Zestimate is very different from my listing price?
Zillow’s Zestimate is a starting point and is not to be used as an appraisal. Since we’ve never been in the home, we fully expect a local real estate professional will have the best feel for a home’s value. We encourage agents and brokers to explain the difference between the Zestimate and the listing by making a public comment about the Zestimate’s accuracy on the listing detail page. Only the listing agent or homeowner can comment, not other agents. Also, keep in mind that when a home is posted for sale on Zillow, the listing price is the primary and most dominant price on the home’s detail page while the Zestimate is moved to a secondary position on the page.
