Here’s why Zillow shuttered their home-buying program at the end of 2021
Something happened at the end of 2021 that you might not have heard about. Many people visit one platform when they look for available properties. The name of that platform is Zillow, and for the last few years, they have been not only marketing homes but also buying them.
Zillow would make an offer on a property without seeing it, close that transaction, and send someone out to renovate it. They were buying and rehabbing houses all over the country, but at the end of 2021, they shut down that program.
At the end of the day, nothing can replace a seasoned agent.
It’s funny because clients used to bring up Zillow’s estimate at listing appointments. To me, those numbers felt like they were as much as 25% over or 35% below the actual price. It was interesting when Zillow announced that they would start buying properties based on these estimates.
After a couple of years of trying this, it turns out Zillow was losing money on almost every house they bought. They obviously hadn’t gone the right way with their algorithm. At the end of the day, nothing can replace a seasoned agent who knows the market, lives in the area, and works in it every day.
On top of that, every market is different, and every market changes. It can depend on what’s in the newspaper that day or what announcements were recently made. There are just too many pieces for an algorithm to put it all together. It was interesting to see if Zillow could succeed, but they couldn’t, and that’s why you still need to depend on your local experts.
If you have any questions, or if you truly want to know what your home is worth, please call or email me. I’d be happy to do a home valuation for you.
