What Zillow Doesn’t Tell You About Your Home’s Value

“Zillow doesn’t actually know what your home is worth — and here’s why that matters.”

If you’ve ever pulled up your home on Zillow, you’ve probably looked at that Zestimate and wondered, “Is this accurate?” The short answer: not usually. And the reason is simple. Zillow’s algorithm has never set foot inside your home.

It doesn’t see the kitchen renovation you just poured your heart into. It doesn’t notice the new dual-pane windows you installed last year. It doesn’t know your home sits on the quiet side of the street with those incredible Corona mountain views that buyers would pay a premium for. Instead, Zillow is pulling from public records, and those records are often incomplete, outdated, or missing the story that makes your home unique.

That’s why local agents don’t rely on automated estimates. We use real comps. Actual homes in Corona that match your upgrades, your layout, and your neighborhood’s vibe. Because your home isn’t defined by a square-foot number in a database. It’s defined by the lifestyle it offers, the improvements you’ve made, and the value buyers see when they walk through the door.

Here’s the truth: your home’s value isn’t on Zillow. It’s in the details. And it deserves more than an algorithm guessing from afar.

If you’re curious what your home is truly worth in today’s Corona market, I’d be happy to walk you through it. No pressure — just real data, real comps, and a real conversation.
