Peter, it came on the first page - after the ads, and Zillow. Pretty good! I checked it Google, with Chrome browser.

Why would you be curious about that Peter?  What is your goal with the post?  What are you trying to achieve or accomplish with the post?

I doubt there is any search volume or competition for that search term.  Who includes the year behind a search like that? 

If I created a post How "much is my home worth in 2020" and asked people to search for that I'd bet it would come up on page 1.  

Why wouldn't it come up in geolocations ... it is generic. 

You wrote the post in February 2018 and changed the year to 2019. 

Search for the title of the original article in 2018 and it is nowhere to be found.

You are the first organic listing under one advertised one (not Zillow.)

On Chrome, Dell laptop.

I'm no expert but I think it's brilliant to add something different - like the year - to differentiate within a well-used phrase.

Yes, as well as on startpage and duck duck go.  Not sure how useful the "2019" is in the search though.  Hope you get business for it.  I owned spots 1-10 on "What is my _____ home worth" and got nada from it in 2 years.
