@SacAppraiser | Ryan Lundquist Zestimate history. This property in Roseville listed at $349K, and the Zestimate matched the list price at $349K despite comps being above $600K.

For kicks, we recently checked out the estimated value of one very interesting listing: our own home. The number surprised us both. “Should we call a real estate agent and start packing?” my husband asked. We came to our senses, of course, fully aware that those online estimates are simply that: estimates. But if this particular site were indeed to be believed, our house was worth $122,000 more than what we bought it for seven years ago. Another listing site pulled up the same figure, while a third offered a more conservative estimate, which was still $68,000 more than what we paid.
