How Accurate Is Zillow’s Pricing for Sacramento Home Sellers?

If you’re thinking about pricing your home based on your Zestimate, you might want to think twice. I recently worked with a seller whose Zestimate came in at $545,000. After walking through the home and reviewing the upgrades, lot position, and local buyer demand, I listed it at $589,000. It sold for $595,000. That’s a $50,000 difference that the algorithm completely missed. In this video, I break down how Zillow’s pricing model actually works, where it falls short, and what smart sellers in the Greater Sacramento area are doing instead. Watch my video to see what your Zestimate might be getting wrong.
