...sorry, I bought this home in August 2004. Next!
In this market (South Fork of the East End) the problem that many home evaluation websites have is that they rely on data from the local municipalities and the area MLS to form their "valuations" or "(z)estimates" as you may have seen on www.Zillow.com .
Most "traditional" markets (like in the heartland) use MLS and keep good records, but Suffolk County along with Southampton and East Hampton townships are all far behind and have incomplete in property data. Adding the fact that only approximately 10% of the east end listings are on MLS, these digitally dynamic websites can't possibly have good data. So, what do we do?
