Why Automated Home Value Estimates Don’t Work on Cape Cod

If you’ve ever used an online home estimate tool and found the number surprisingly off, well, you’re not alone!

1. Unique Property Features

Homes on Cape Cod often have custom features—like private beach access, ocean views, or flood zone designations—that automated tools can’t factor in accurately. These unique characteristics can create a significant gap between the automated estimate and the real market value.

2. High-End and Second-Home Market

Cape Cod’s luxury and second-home market often exceeds the price ranges and criteria AVMs are built for, resulting in undervaluation of high-end homes.

3. Limited Comparable Sales

Cape Cod has a diverse housing inventory—from historic homes to modern waterfront properties. Our small towns often have fewer recent comparable sales than other areas, which makes it difficult for automated tools to generate accurate estimates. In many cases, they fail entirely due to insufficient data and a lack of specialized Cape Cod market knowledge.

4. Seasonal Market Trends

The Cape Cod market is highly seasonal, with fluctuations in inventory and demand. Most automated tools aren’t designed to account for these seasonal variations, which can significantly affect home values.

5. Flood Zones and Coastal Impact

Flood zones, coastal erosion, and conservation restrictions can impact a home’s value and future potential—something most AVMs don’t account for.
