How accurate is Zillow range? ›

The nationwide median error rate for the Zestimate for on-market homes is 2.4%, while the Zestimate for off-market homes has a median error rate of 7.49%. The Zestimate's accuracy depends on the availability of data in a home's area.

Zillow, as well as the other websites, get their feed from the MLS's around the country. If there are fewer homes listed for sale in the MLS then there will be fewer showing up on Zillow.

The Zillow Zestimate calculates the estimated price of a house based on nearby sales. While this works OK in subdivisions and populated areas with many recent comparable sales, it does not work great in rural areas.

There are several reasons why Zillow's Zestimate may be inaccurate. For one, the feature relies heavily on publicly available data, such as property tax records and past sales data. This means that it may not take into account certain factors, such as renovations or additions to a home, that could affect its value.

The Zestimate's accuracy depends on location and the availability of data in an area. Some areas have more detailed home information available — such as square footage and number of bedrooms or bathrooms — and other areas do not. The more data available, the more accurate the Zestimate value will be.

Zillow home value estimates (Zestimates) differ from professional appraisals and may not fully capture the nuances that impact values. Factors like customized features, renovations and hyperlocal market conditions can cause discrepancies.
