Most online estimates are treated like answers. They're really just guesses.
Most online estimators miss the things that actually move value: condition, quality, updates, lot details, layout, buyer appeal, and what it would cost to improve the home properly.
Yet people still use those numbers to make decisions about one of their biggest assets.
How silly is that?
Howzilly starts with the public data, then brings in hands-on real estate judgment. We've sold homes in volume, renovated and flipped properties, and learned what actually creates value: the right update, at the right price, for the right buyer.
That's why the number is wide ↓The data the algorithms miss
The big portals are honest about one thing: their number is only a starting point. Here's what they can't finish without seeing the home.
Your actual lot
Algorithms blend your land into a zip-wide assumption. We pull your parcel straight from the assessor map — every square foot of it.
Condition
A renovated kitchen and a 1987 kitchen are the same house to an algorithm. They can be six figures apart at closing.
Quality
Builder-grade and custom don't sell for the same price per square foot. Only someone who has seen the home knows which it is.
How it works
A free estimate from public records — honestly wide, because condition is invisible from the outside.
