Happy Veterans Day!!

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.

Call me for an accurate home evaluation.

While it's true that spring and summer often see a flood of new home listings hit the market that doesn't really mean that's the right time to buy a home. Seasonally speaking, there isn't a right or wrong time to buy a new home. The right time to buy a home is when you are ready to make the investment. If you have questions about how to get started, I've got answers. Just leave me a comment or send me a message and let's talk! Joseph 317-694-8928
