People often ask me if Zillow is a valid website to start a home search on. While I think it's a great place to get started and to see what kind of homes are out there, I don't think you should put much faith in the information displayed on the website. It's notoriously inaccurate.
Zillow gets all of their price data from old public records and tax evaluations. Any additional information, such as if a home has been remodeled, is left out and not factored into the Zestimate. Zillow doesn't make money by selling accurate information to consumers, they charge Realtors to be featured on their site. Their main goal is to help Realtors sell homes.
Occasionally a client will find a home on Zillow and fall in love with it, but they're heartbroken to find out that the listing sold months ago but was still featured on Zillow. This is why you should always work with a Realtor when you're searching for a home.
Your local Realtor can find you homes that aren't even for sale yet. You won't waste any time searching for outdated listings online!
