Why is a house so cheap on Zillow? ›

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.

Although Zillow and Trulia have the same corporate owner, there is some difference in the interface for both websites. Zillow has a more graphic experience for searching for a home, while Trulia has a relatively simple design. In addition, Zillow, unlike Trulia, goes beyond the U.S. in its listings.

According to Zillow's website, Zestimate's nationwide median error rate for active listings is 2.4%. 3 For off-market homes, it's now 7.9%. 4 Zestimates are only as accurate as the data behind them.
