The real estate value estimator run by gigantic real estate speculators doing market manipulation is not to be trusted.

Hey, you know who you support when you eat at fast food places? The locals that have to work there.

Zillow is a racket. In 2019 they began including realtors’ MLS listing prices to their zestimate algorithm. They are not independent of the realtor system although they imply they are.

I’ve noticed that Zillows estimates are way below many other websites. If you look at your address on Redfin or Realtor you’ll see it’s valued much higher, close to what you purchased it for. Buying a home is scary, yours is lovely and it’s on 15 acres! Wow, I’m envious. If the payment is comfortable, that’s all the matters in the end. If this was my home I truly wouldn’t be worried over what Zillow says it’s valued at. Especially when every other site has much higher estimates. Congratulations on your new home!

…Here I am hoping someday to be able to purchase an actual house on my salary in New Hampshire before I turn 50.
Feel happy and blessed that you have what you have.

Zillow isn't the end-all-be-all pricing index for the market. Take a look at Redfin who estimates you at $484,737:
https://www.redfin.com/NH/Walpole/56-Laclair-Rd-03608/home/88030354
Next, read up on just how bad Zillow's data scientists failed Zilllow when it came to pricing the market:
Feel better yet?
My hot take is that prices should go down for everyone as rates go up. What you, and everyone, can afford is a combination of principle and interest. Therefore, as rates go up, what you can afford in principle is less, because you are paying more in interest. Combine all of this will a staggering economy due to high(er) interest rates and you have fewer people that can afford homes.
As far as what you should tell the realtor? Nothing. Like all of us, you likely got your house because you were the high bidder. No one was willing to pay more than you at the time it was listed. That being said, love your house. It's beautiful on a nice piece of land. Take care of it and maintain it well. No one is getting a good deal buying anything that is a 1:1 with many people looking to buy it.

Reply to Towns agreeable to off grid cabin by bo0oewbs
You can go to a city of claremont meeting and request a zoning amendment and they may grant it for you. The city needs tax money badly. Tons of great places out in the middle of nowhere in Claremont to build a cabin just like that. You just need permission from the city first with a special meeting.

For a variance to be approved these five conditions must be met
(A) The variance will not be contrary to the public interest; (B) The spirit of the ordinance is observed; (C) Substantial justice is done; (D) The values of surrounding properties are not diminished; and (E) Literal enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance would result in an unnecessary hardship.
If you are opposing the variance you should refer to one (or more) of the conditions as not being met. See NH ZBA handbook for a discussion of these.

Both Zillow and realtor.com are simply sales websites. They use algorithms and other bullshit to inflate the prices of all the houses and this is why the insanity and the fomo that you are obviously feeling right now. Because people sit on Zillow and other websites and they let it dictate their decisions and it's dumb.

No one should be buying a home right now. Sellers are still smoking crack thinking their homes are worth way more than they are. This will topple even more so if you’re the buyer in this situation.. sorry to hear it man but housing market is going to keep falling for a while.

The point is they make money off a sale.. not off telling you the market is likely going to change in the next year with higher interest rates and people no longer smoking the crack they have been for the last few years thinking their shit box is worth $300k when it’s a $175k home

Not if you have a buyers agency agreement with you agent. Commision, yes. Do you go to work for free?

I prefer the term real estate agent as “realtor” is a copywrited term that makes it sound like they are an actual profession with ethical guidelines they have to follow.

Zillow isn't indicative of the actual home value. It's just what the zillow algorithm is spitting out. In many instances, this is number is wrong. The median error of zestimates is nearly 8%. Also to add, your agent should have gone over how this works. I'm surprised they are no longer in contact with you. I typically text/email my old clients monthly to see how everything is going and wish them well. Ultimately, don't sweat the zestimate. It's a worthless number.

Buyers agent agreements are rare - and in any case it is in the agent’s best interest for you to buy at the highest possible price. OP being mad at the agent is misguided.
