How does Zillow/ Redfin caculate price estimates?
I am looking at a property from a wholesaler, that is in a good neighborhood. Its a 2/1 and 904 SF. I know the area that it is in and most houses that fit that description are around $215k-$230k. I found the actual house that the wholesaler has under contract and Zillow and Redfin have it at around $155k. It's the cheapest house in the neighborhood by far. Supposedly the house is built from a railroad car, but it doesn't appear that way from the outside. Is the low price because this would be considered a manufactured home? Would Zillow redfin take this into account? Finally I know that comps are better than using Zillow, but I was just trying to get an idea of the value.
