Checked to see if zillow has any updates on house my sister lives in.

Zillow says - Zestimate has decreased by 67,000 in last 30 days. house is now worth 106,000.

Rent Zestimate is 12,000 a month.

1) House is worth much more.
2) Nothing but a luxury car drops 67,000 in 30 days
3) Everyone knows a property for 106,000 is cardboard with electricity
4) No one in the right mind would pay 12,000/ mo to rent a cardboard with electricity
5) Zillow be crazy

One of the houses was sold on the block last year to their family member for a price much lower than market price for private reasons . This is driving the comparables down. Still doesn’t explain the rental per month price.

Sounds about right. About 3 months after buying our place (in 2016) the “ Zestimate” randomly ju mped up by about 85% (to about $950,000) but the rental estimate stayed put. Over the next 3 months it dropped back down to normal market estimates gradually.

is there anything nearby that could be considered commercial property?

Are you in a rural area, where a couple homes could screw up the pricing?

if you go the the zip code map is there a house with a giant screwup in price? like an order of magnitude off?
