To Zillow, or not to Zillow..?

Has the accuracy of Zillow grown over the years? I recall when Zillow started their figures were vastly off.

I've not been paying attention to Zillow for pricing however I have noticed how they offer more services and with that are gaining more popularity.

It would seem that they could grow into a resource.

Are they close? Is their rental calculator accurate for your areas?

Zillow sales data in my area differs from our regional multi list values which are highly reliable. Local, county or state section 8 housing authorities have a rental data base from a semi-scientific poll of apartment complexes in the areas they serve. They sometimes are willing to share that data. --73.215.xxx.xx

Didn't Zillow recently buy a company that buys homes.

If it is your job to make and present home values and a company that you own would later go around and purchase the homes, wouldn't that appear to be some inside dealings?

The market here is as hot as I have seen in over a decade so I am not seeing the inside dealing, but I would expect that the prices on zillow will come down even more than the rest of the market in specific areas where they are buying --24.154.xx.x

No, I don't find them accurate for our area. We own in a place where a mansion can be next to a trailer and Zillow's head explodes trying to figure out neighborhoods like that. --50.82.xxx.xxx

I find Zillow to be to high or to low 75% of the time on property values and to high 90% of the time on rent estimates. --99.23.xxx.x

Not reliable. And their Zestimates for house sales are off on my properties by 10-20%....usually too high. --99.92.xxx.xxx

There s an article in the paper that zillow lost 126k per house in it's portfolio. So I wouldn't trust them to perovide the public with accurate info when it's in their best interest to low ball things --100.38.xx.xxx

The words ZILLOW and ACCURATE do not belong in the same sentence.

I sold a gorgeous flip last year for $165,000. Zillow keeps sending me updates saying it’s now worth $67,000 in our booming market.

The "A" in Zillow stands for accuracy.
