Have you ever "Zillowed" your home?

Zillow is in the ball park pricing wise. There are so many variables that nothing will be exact until you put your house on the market.
Our last house we bought in '17 for about $220,000. We sold it in '21 for just under $400K. That is about $180k value increase in 4 years. And that house was on the market for 48 hours and we had 24 offers at or over asking price. Per Zillow our current home has gone up just over $60k in two years in a uncertain market (thanks to interest rates). Housing is insane. The house I lived in most of Jr High and HS is valued at over $1.5 million - granted it is in the SF Bay Area, but still.

Zillow says that my home is worth $1,978,500. I think that’s optimistic given that a similar home in the neighborhood, that’s only 900 sq. feet smaller, has been on the market for a month at $1,650,000 and hasn’t sold. Our next door neighbors are trying to sell their house for $2,395,000, which is out of touch with reality.
Ours is Zoopla.
Bought our last place for 96k in Nov 13, paid it off a few years back, sold for 155k Oct 2023.
Zoopla 10 second review thing pegged it at 160-170. Our appraiser broke his estimation down based on facts and recent local sales and I was happy. It helped we were selling privately so he had no vested interest or reason to inflate it. Also at the time a lot of similar though not as nice properties locally we're going for 120-125 tops, we did ok.
Not a bad return at all. We're in a good place financially with the new place thanks to that equity. There was a point we were considering renting out the old place instead of selling but in glad we didn't.
We'll be in this place until we downsize or get wheeled out in a box or chair and it really is seen as an investment at this stage.

I work for a defense/intel contractor. Never been in the military. I’ve never seen a coworker in a military uniform either. You can’t really work in this industry as active military. You can be a reserve (we have a ton of those) but if you are full time military, you work for the military.
