Add Zillow to Track Property Value (2 Merged Votes)
Mint allows you to add your property for net worth tracking. Can't seem to find that in Simplifi. Would be nice if Intuit could even partner with Zillow or something to try and track your property value over time.

@zgarretson , You can add a positive value to your property account! You can do that by adding a plus symbol before prior to entering the amount. I appreciate the suggestion about partnering Zillow or another company similar to Zillow to help you track your properties seamlessly!

I think part of the issue is that needing to add "+" before a transaction is not intuitive. The default should be positive and then using a minus sign would make it a debit. That would be more intuitive in my opinion. Or have a separate field for credit/debit, or a check box.
During the property setup dialogue, you should ask for the starting value, just like is done in Mint. Ideally, property would be tracked like in Quicken so you can record the mortgage details and property value and the system is smart enough to calculate the amortization and factor that into a future net worth calculation.

The net worth calculation deducts what is owed on a mortgage but does not add back in any equity for the home/asset. For a realistic picture of one's financial position I would include equity in the asset. Other programs allow Zillow to estimate home value and deducts the loan from the estimate. Or you could just allow us to input the value we give the asset.

@JTO Great suggestion!

JTO - You have the option of creating an Asset account for your home and manually assigning a value. Does that accomplish what you are trying to do?

You're welcome, however you are on to something. It would be nice to be able to have the system pull the home value automatically from Zillow.

It would be nice to be able to use the value from Zillow to automatically populate a property's value when setting up a Home Asset Account

Please do not. Zillow is far from accurate, especially in neighborhoods with few sales and in rural areas.

@keesdewit Zillow is a good reference for my area. Simplifi can have you use the Zillow estimate as an option... your choice.-Marcus9

@Marcus @keesdewit We've had other requests from some of our users for Zillow support in Simplifi, so our development team is aware of your interest. More votes for this suggestion will definitely move it up our priority list.

A decent feature of mint.com. Can't drop mint.com completely until I can track home and car values easily.

I also won't be able to drop Mint till something like this is implemented. I don't want to need to update things manually. If I'm paying a subscription, I want the work done for me.

Please include this. Is there a separate way to vote on this?

+1 for this. It's offered on Mint so no reason it can't be offered here.

Personal Capital links to Zillow as well. Without true asset values, you don't have true net worth. Please link to Zillow and perhaps even KBB!

@frieden @Raineykl As you can see, this request is very popular with our active users! Thanks for casting your votes to move it up our priority list! We do like to remind our users from time to time that although our sister product, Quicken, was developed by Intuit, which also makes Mint, Intuit sold Quicken, Inc., to a private investor in 2016, so we're no longer connected to Intuit, or Mint. And Simplifi is a brand new product created by Quicken's current development team to meet the needs of active mobile users.

Same goes for kbb for car value

Agreed that having this in general for large asset tracking would be great! Houses and cars are at the top of my list here.

@Coach Paco The ultimate request here, whatever the source of data, is to be able to enter a property address or make/model/year/condition and track home and car values easily in net worth because a lot of value is tied up in these assets. Ideally changes in value would be updated quarterly and logged as adjustments in the transaction register, easily allowing us to track depreciation/appreciation over time. Once we've seen what the depreciation/appreciation looks like, it would be awesome to be able to see that trend reflected somehow in the net worth projections.

Some other aggregators offer a way to add real estate assets that auto update their values by pulling data from Redfin (or Zillow). It'd be cool to have for Simplifi to do that!

Good day! Just wanted to begin by saying that I absolutely love this product and it is something that I have needed in my life for a long time! Many of the features offered by Simplifi, I have been doing manually using a different checkbook website, unaware that Simplifi existed.Anyway, one feature that I was wondering if the developers have on there pipeline is pulling value estimates from sites like Zillow? There are other sites out there that offer this feature and it would be nice to have this ability added to Simplifi.Anywhos, thanks for your time.0

Hello @SlavaSk,
Thanks for posting!
To add an asset account to Simplifi, you'll want to add a manual account, and then select "Asset" for the Account Type. There are then a few different options that you can select for the account:
This Support Article has more details on adding manual accounts in Simplifi.
I hope this helps!
