Is Zillow Accurate?

I’m commonly asked how do I value a residential or commercial property and further do I use Zillow in my analysis.  Zillow like many other valuation methods is questionable on its accuracy (see my blog to read about other valuation methods, assessed value, replacement cost, etc….) I was curious to do a little experiment in Colorado to see how closely Zillow matched the true market value.

First Zillow (trulia/realtor.com, etc… use similar methodology) has a proprietary algorithm that estimates the present market value of a property.  Zillow calculates this by comparing the subject property to similar properties in a close radius to the subject property.  On paper, this sounds very plausible and theoretically should give an accurate assessment on value.  How does Zillow work in real life situations? https://www.fairviewlending.com/blog/is-zillow-wrong/

Wildfire Season: Are you prepared

Earlier this year I sent out an article regarding the steps that every homeowner needs to take now in order to prepare for a wildfire.  I thought it would be good to send this article out again as first rage across the West (Idaho, Oregon, Montana, etc…).  Just yesterday there was a small wildfire just west of Golden in Jefferson County.

It is important for each homeowner to take action now.  Simple steps could save you and your family’s lives.  See the list of items and steps that should be taken:
