Redfin estimate

Is it reliable? I bought a condo one month ago and it says I already made a 5% gain

Why not? Av yes it’s even more absurd? Agree

Yes it's exactly like stock market. Try cashing out your 5% then rinse and repeat! Lol nowadays kids want everything fast

could be true lol. But you’ve paid probably close to 1% in interest already and would need to pay agents 6% to sell. Shouldn’t work off small percentages in real estate

Also you need to sell to get it lol my house allegedly has gone up $100k then down $30k compared to buying price over two years. Despite renovations, adding bathroom, updating roof, electric etc and homes on my block that are smaller and less updated selling for more than j bought my house for (and the new homes have the bad interest rate compared to a few years ago). So I don’t consider it that reliable nor do I worry about it

Redfin is an estimate +/-10%, so it falls within the error. Check prices of surrounding homes and see what things are selling for. It’s possible it has gone up — some areas in the us are increasing — like Santa Clara county. But other areas i would be careful about. It’s all about the jobs. If an area has a ton of growing companies, that is real estate gold.

I can make a tamper monkey script that multiplies redfin value by 10, will you buy it for $10k?

You didn't make anything if you're still living in it

I made crunches in the condo every morning

Pellego GTgU71 Oct 4, 2023

Good luck paying for good or services with said crunches

In Bay Area you add $250k on top of Redfin estimates.

DoorDash hVOl83 Oct 4, 2023

True. Only for single family though

Apple huh ok Oct 5, 2023

Actually even from townhomes with $500 HOA

Yeah, 5 % gain is on paper, your realtor and title company will eat a lite more
