In 2009, I listed and sold two Hunt Valley Station single family homes.

Today, a new four bedroom home came on at 1210 Maple Leaf Ct, next door to the one I sold in November. That is one is the smallest Ryland-built homes in the neighborhood.

Neighborhood: Hunt Valley Real Estate

The community of Hunt Valley Station backs to the NCR Trail off Paper Mill Road. Located just minutes from the Hunt Valley Towne Center, there are many amenities to offer including dining, shopping, movies, and Wegmans Supermarket.

Also nearby is the Oregon Ridge Park, with the Nature Center, hiking, and playground, plus swimming at the beach in the summer.

Hunt Valley is convenient to I-83 for travel into Baltimore or up through York. Its well-situated location, along with its plentitude of services, makes it a wonderful place to live!

Last week I had a client call me because his HELOC was reduced by a large amount right in the middle of construction to improve his home. He could not understand how the bank could make the determination that his Towson house value had dropped over $200,000 in the past 18 months since he opened his HELOC.

Upon speaking to the bank, the representative pulls up Zillow, and proceeds to tell him this is how they discovered the value change.

“Is this true? Has my value really dropped by THIS much? I knew we were in a depressed market, but did not think it was THIS bad,” he asked me.

Based on a true market analysis, his value has really only dropped by $25-50,000. So how is Zillow off this much?

Enter the powers of social media!

I was able to find both the COO & the Director of Community Relations for Zillow on Twitter.

I contacted COO Spencer Rascoff and he tweeted back:

“Lenders shouldn’t rely on Zestimates. Use an appraisal.” “We have “a Zestimate is not an appraisal” language all over the site. http://twurl.nl/7lj6mc “

He then emailed me directly because he wanted to get to the bottom as to why they are so far off.

Director of Community Relations David Gibbons tweeted:

“…it may not change outcome by he {sic} can’t reduce heloc based on Zestimate alone.” “Lenders are supposed to use commercially licensed AVMs & appraisals, not Zestimates!”

While they are both correct, and I agree with them wholeheartedly, lenders ARE using their site, and if the site’s purpose is to provide real estate information, then the site should be more accurate.

Through emails and more discussion, I was able to find out more about how the Zestimate values are determined.

David direct messaged me that it: “looks like your purchase price and taxes have the biggest impact on your Zestimate…”

I asked what that had to do with a current value of a home, because there is no correlation whatsoever in the real estate market from what you paid for it and what it is worth now.

His answer: “homes only sell on average once every seven years so when figuring out what a home is worth its last price is important – though 2002 is…we count past sales in less and less over time … a sale last year would have much greater impact.”

NO WONDER the values are off so dramatically. And if Zestimates continue to be calculated in this respect, then we should be looking for values to be tremendously off in 2013-2014 in the other direction. So my client can be assured that in 3 years his Zestimate should be approximately $200,000 OVER true value!

Please be aware that the Zillow Zestimates, at least in the Towson market area, may have no relationship to the true value of any home.

This reiterates the point that REAL ESTATE IS LOCAL and, as COO Rascoff wrote: “a Zestimate is not a replacement for a real estate agent. Far from it.” For your free Towson Home Price Estimate, contact me today!

The Abbey at Sherwood – Cockeysville Community

The Abbey at Sherwood is a small neighborhood in Cockeysville, Maryland.

There are only 20 homes in the neighborhood build around 1994, and they rarely come on the market.

19 Clarion Ct is located at the end of the cul de sac, tucked away a bit for privacy.

Cockeysville and Hunt Valley Real Estate share the zip code 21030. The unofficial defining line is Paper Mill Road, which is less than a mile north of this great listing. There is plenty to enjoy in Cockeysville & Hunt Valley, including Oregon Ridge Park, the NCR Trail, and the Hunt Valley Towne Center.

I was asked to present based on my experience and success using social media to enhance my Towson real estate business.

The four networks I discussed were Facebook, ActiveRain, Linkedin, and Twitter.

Although I also actively participate on Trulia and Zillow, I only had 20 minutes to present! On May 21, 2009, I have been asked to present a follow up because there was so much interest from the Baltimore realtors.

I met some fantastic people, and enjoyed speaking with many of the attendees afterwards. I am looking forward to the next presentation, and will also be teaching another 1.5 CE credit course on the same topic for GBBR on May 28, 2009.
