Episode 69: From Zestimates to Dream Homes: What’s Real and What’s Not
This week we are diving into the truth behind those Zillow “Zestimates”and why they’re not always as accurate as you think, especially here in the Midwest. We’ll share real examples of homes that sold for more (and sometimes less) than what Zillow predicted and what really drives those value differences. From neighborhood nuances to recent renovations, we’ll unpack why an algorithm can’t always capture a home’s true worth. Then we’ll switch gears and dream a little describing what our own perfect homes would look like and the must-have features we’d love to have. It’s part reality check, part real estate daydream and a fun reminder that every home’s story is more than just a number.
