Columbus Ohio real estate

Worthington Schools - NOT

Worthington Schools - NOT

I found a "Hot Worthington listing" on Zillow in the Columbus  Ohio 43235 ZIP code* or NOT. 

The "listing" on Lorraine is in The Gables.  The Gables is a lovely, sought after northwest Columbus neighborhood in the Columbus City School District. 

Search for The Gables homes for sale or other Northwest Columbus neighborhoods

  • search by neighborhood or subdivision
  • search by Central Ohio school district 

Zillows Nearby Schools for Lorraine are Worthington Schools

Zillow shows a home in "Worthington" for sale for $119,000 but it's not

  • It is not for sale
  • It is not priced at $119,000
  • It is not in the City of Worthington....
  • and it is not in the Worthington City School District!

Bet if you click on that question mark on Zillow it says that Zillow is not telling you these are the schools for the property address. Just telling you about nearby schools... it is automated and with complex Central Ohio school district boundaries it is usually not that useful in some parts of the City of Columbus.

Strangely.  I think the real schools are much closer to the house than the Worthington schools that Zillow's automation has picked up.... for this home in The Gables.

About the home not being for sale...the home is simply a home that may be for sale at some point...  aren't they all?

Zillow can be fun but ...

  • Their Zestimates are inaccurate (Zestimates are usually high... well except when Zestimates are low...)  ;-) 
  • They tell you houses are for sale (looks like the house on Lorraine is for sale but it's not.  It is pre foreclosure or maybe on the market someday...
  • They tell you about the nearby schools but not necessarily the schools for the home... and it is NOT just a matter of attendance areas in a given school district.... it is wrong school district info

* The Columbus Ohio 43235 ZIP code has homes in the Columbus, Dublin and Worthington School District. A ZIP code is a mail route. 

This is where The Gables is...

Hot Worthington Listing... or Not

Zillow Lorraine Ave. Listed as Worthington

Hot Worthington Listing on Zillow ... $119,000 WOW

A house on Lorraine Ave. was the first home I saw trying to find something else on Zillow....

Lorraine Ave. in Worthington????  I racked my brain.  It is Columbus Ohio 43235.

I was looking for info on homes in Brookside Woods which are in the city of Columbus and are either in the Worthington City School District or the Dublin City School District (boundary line runs through this northwest Columbus neighborhoods, school district boundaries were set before the area was developed.) Brookside Woods is in the Columbus 43235 ZIP code ... so that's where I was looking when I tripped over this HOT "Worthington Listing" on Zillow this morning.

Hot Worthington Columbus Listing on Zillow ... $119,000 WOW

Lorraine Avenue is in The Gables which is City of Columbus Schools NOT Worthington Schools...

Some of the 43235 ZIP code is in Worthington schools, part is in Columbus schools and part is in Dublin schools.... most neighborhoods are in just one school district. A few are in two Central Ohio school districts.

The Gables is a great neighborhood, the average list price of the homes in the Columbus Board of REALTORS MLS (The Gables, Gable East, Gables West) is about $224,900 now.

$119,000 would be a great price for a home in The Gables.

Search - The Gables homes for sale 

Before you get excited this house is NOT for sale.  Although Zillow and probably Trulia too will tell you it is "For Sale: $119,000" the house is not for sale.   The house on Lorraine may be for sale someday, but the house is not for sale now.  It is probably something you'd find on my own CbusHomeSearch.com Foreclosure page...

What is the $119,000 "price" that Zillow is quoting?  Probably a mortgage.

Hot Worthington Columbus Listing on Zillow $119,000 is NOT for Sale

Zillow is providing this information from Foreclosure.com or Realty Trac.  Many of the homes on those lists are NOT for sale...  They They may be in the future but don't get your hopes up.

...  and don't believe Zillow about where the house is...  This house is not in Worthington or even in the City of Columbus and Worthington City School District.  It is where it is.

This is where The Gables is...
