By using valuations like Zillow’s Zestimate, you can get an idea of what your home is worth. However, they’re not as accurate as you might think. To clarify, most agents don’t like sites like Zillow because they can be considered a disruptor of the industry, but I’m a fan of them because I like the fact that so much information is transparent.

This has become a huge pain for consumers who are looking to get an accurate sense of their home’s worth. Why? Because, while it can be fairly accurate at times, it can also be really off.

企业故事汇｜战略管理美国Zillow：互联网时代的房地产交易信息服务美国房地产市场价值 25 万亿美元，每年转手房屋价值大约为 9000 亿美元，这就意味着 500 亿美元的房地产服务费用，这还没有计算相关的租赁和抵押贷款业务。全美房地产经纪商协会称，90%的房地产交易始于网上。人们会以为，房地产网站的出现将取代房地产中介。但实际上，多数房屋买家和卖家最终还是会找传统中介帮他们完成交易。Zillow是美国最大的房地产垂直类信息网站，通过将零散的买方和卖方信息集中到互联网平台上，以降低房屋交易成本，提高交易效率。最初，Zillow的员工打算在网上进行房屋拍卖，但他们很快发现这种做法并不现实。房产市场是一个非常分散化、本地化而且流程复杂的市场，房产网站较难获取定价权。然而，如果房产网站能够更高效的为中介提供用户，那么中介的营销预算就会更多的倾斜到房产网站上面。Zillow把自己视为媒体公司，而不是经纪公司，宣称只卖广告，不卖房子，试图把自己描绘成经纪人的朋友，而不是敌人。Zillow吸引买卖双方在网站上提供信息，它不向买卖任何一方收费。Zillow的大部分收入来源于房地产中介，作为其在 Zillow 网站推销房屋中介服务的广告费用。Zillow的核心收费项目名为优选经纪人（premier agent），订阅这一服务的房产经纪人的照片和联系方式将置于特定房产信息旁边的优先权益，从而获取更多的成交机会。优选经纪人项目的费用基数是邮政编码和点击次数，这样就照顾到房地产交易高度地区性的特点，可以根据经纪人所选地区房产特点进行定价。2016年，Zillow开始试行优选经纪人拍卖竞价的方式，在动态基础上进行定价，充分发掘市场价值。拍卖有助于广告资源向高成交经纪人倾斜，从而鼓励低成交经纪人加入高成交经纪人团队，减少市场上经纪人的总量，降低Zillow的营销成本。2016年底，Zillow付费经纪人账户从前一年的9.2万减少到8.4万，而优选经纪人项目的收入却增长了35%。参考教材《管理学原理》韩瑞著《创业管理》吴何著《战略管理》（第2版）李振福、孙忠著《现代企业管理》（第2版）吴何著2018-02-2715 min

Stewart Real Estate Group PodcastWhy You Shouldn’t Trust Zillow’s EstimatesAs a professional Realtor, I do not use Zillow for any real estate information. Most of the time, it’s outdated and inaccurate. Have you ever gone to Zillow to check your property’s value? A lot of people do, and I get asked about these valuations every week. You can get a lot of data from Zillow, so I understand why people are attracted to the site, but here’s the truth. As a real estate professional, I do not use Zillow at all for information on homes. I don’t like relying on their algorithms, which are not a true i...2016-11-2800 min

Philadelphia Real Estate Podcast With Jack BarryThe Problem with Zillow and Home Value
A lot of our clients ask, “Can we trust Zillow to come up with an accurate value for a property?” The short answer is no. In most cases, Zillow’s Zestimates are off by 5% to 15% of the true price.

The best way to know what a home is worth is to contact a real estate agent, like me. We will pull all the comparab...2016-08-2200 min
