If you've ever looked up your home's value on Zillow or Redfin, you've experienced an automated valuation model (AVM) — an algorithm that estimates what your property is worth using publicly available data. But how accurate are these estimates when it really counts? As a realtor in the Kona, Hawaii market, I wanted to find out.

The takeaway? When it comes to pricing a home, local knowledge still wins. Buyers, too, appear to be making offers based on neighborhood comparables — not automated valuations. Whether you're...
