What a fun day at Aubrey Oaks Alpacas with the Lake Kiowa Woman’s Club - KWC Garden & Nature group! We fed, walked and loved on the cutest bunch of alpacas. We then shopped for alpaca scarves, hats, socks, etc. I highly recommend a visit.

Zillow has many consumers completely fooled. No algorithm can tell you the value of your property. Call your neighborhood realtor, better yet me, for a true estimate of your home’s value.

They had unlimited data. Billions in funding. The best engineers money could buy.

And they still lost nearly a billion dollars of cash and $40 billion of market cap trying to flip houses using their own Zestimate.

Think about that: The company that tells YOU what your house is worth couldn't figure out what houses were worth when their own money was on the line.

Here's what actually happened: They'd make instant cash offers based on their algorithm.

Bought thousands of homes. Then reality hit.

The algorithm didn't account for foundation issues. Couldn't smell the mold. Didn't notice the neighbor's garage band. Couldn't feel that the neighborhood was shifting.

Meanwhile, local agents were watching them overpay by $30-50k per house and laughing.

The best part?

While Zillow was hemorrhaging money, they were still telling consumers to trust the Zestimate.

Still showing those "Your home is now worth..." notifications.

Still letting people make the biggest financial decision of their lives based on an algorithm that literally bankrupted their own house-flipping division.

Their own CEO quietly selling his Seattle mansion for 40% under its Zestimate wasn't just embarrassing.

It was him admitting what every agent already knows: Real estate is local, emotional, and human.

But millions still check their Zestimate daily like it's their horoscope.

You know who never lost $881 million buying houses?

Your local agent who's sold 200 homes in your zip code.

They know the builder who cut corners in 2003.

They know which streets flood.

They know the school rezoning coming next year.

But sure, trust the algorithm that couldn't even save itself.

Fed Chair Powell made this clear yesterday…..
“There’s a long-term housing shortage… and that won’t change even when things ‘normalize.’”
Translation: Don’t expect home prices to fall much. Supply is tight and won’t improve for a long time.
