Sometimes Zillow — and other home value websites — just doesn’t have enough data about a property to estimate its value. This may happen for a number of reasons.
For example, if you live in a non-disclosure state where real estate transactions aren’t publicly reported, Zillow may not have access to enough information about your home to make a Zestimate.
The other potential issue is if there aren’t enough real estate transactions in your county or ZIP code. Zestimates are based on what similar properties to yours have sold for in your area, so without that data an online home value estimate is nearly impossible. This is more likely to happen to you if you live in a rural area.
