Zestimate

The zestimate sensor allows one to track the Zestimate® value of properties using the Zillow API. According to Zillow’s website, a Zestimate® home valuation is Zillow’s estimated market value. It is not an appraisal. Use it as a starting point to determine a home’s value. The Zestimate® is provided by Zillow, a website primarily for listing homes to buy/sell/rent in the United States.

This integration adds one entity per zpid specified, named sensor.zestimate with numbers appended if you choose to track more than one Zestimate.

Configuration

You will need to sign up for the Zillow API at the following link Zillow API. You will also need the Zillow property ID for each property you’d like to track. This information is available from the URL of a property you are interested in. If you’re the owner of this property, it’s recommended to claim the listing and update the property information to help the information be as accurate as possible.

For example, the White House zpid is 84074482 and can be found in its Zillow URL: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1600-Pennsylvania-Ave-NW-Washington-DC-20006/84074482_zpid/
