Texas Real Estate Market Values up over 50% in the last year! Really?

Yep, Texas market values have risen over 50% in the last year.  In fact, they dropped slightly up until about the last month where they rose almost 60%.  Well, at least that’s what Zillow is telling me.  Take a look at their market value graph I saw this morning.

According to Zillow, Texas market values are up drastically.

This just goes to show you that Zillow’s estimates aren’t all that accurate.  So please be sure to check with your local Realtor to get an accurate assessment of your property or any other.

The Real Estate Rollercoaster
