Just checked my neighbourhood. The latest image seems very old, as a house that was constructed last year only shows up as a plot of land.

Sure enough, in the top-left it says the latest image is from November 2018.

Yep, it will be old at that zoom level. Zoom out to level 8 and you’ll get near real-time but you won’t be able to see your house.
