      <title>I Am So Miserable Without You at this Maggie Valley Creek that It Is Almost Like You Are Still Here!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Early Sunday morning as I went to do an errand, I took a quick detour in &lt;a href=&quot;http://buckingtherealestatetrend.com&quot; title=&quot;Maggie Valley blog&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maggie Valley&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to see how the some of creeks looked. They sure looked cold and rapid. Soon I will be able to capture snow on the banks of the creeks. (I noticed quite a few perfect spots along the creek for an Airstream.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you like creek photos, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/susieblackmon/sets/72157622562875821/&quot; title=&quot;Creek photo set on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;click here to see more&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fall photos taken in and around Maggie Valley &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/susieblackmon/sets/72157622486723382/&quot; title=&quot;Fall photos on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;are here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

Of note: the Median Selling Price in October is one of the lowest of 2009.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Up Another Creek in Maggie Valley with My Trusty Camera.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Late Wednesday afternoon in Maggie Valley (11/4/09) I spotted another great photo opportunity on a spectacular Maggie Valley creek. The trees are somewhat bare and brown, but the creek is so beautiful that I don't think that matters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speaking of photography, &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/BradCoy&quot; title=&quot;Brad on Twitter&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;@BradCoy&lt;/a&gt; introduced me to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blurb.com/&quot; title=&quot;Blurb website&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blurb&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; the other day, and I cannot wait to give it a try with some of my photographs. Could be just what I need to make some very special gifts.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Details of the New Homebuyer Tax Credit ~ NAR Chart.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Guess I won't get into the extension of the New Homebuyer Tax Credit here (I was not supportive of a 'for' vote), but I found this chart to be easy to read and comprehend for anyone now that it's a moot point.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Agent Genius&lt;/strong&gt; posted a great blog by &lt;span class=&quot;author vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://agentgenius.com/author/danilo/&quot; title=&quot;Danilo Bogdanovic&quot; class=&quot;url fn n&quot;&gt;Danilo Bogdanovic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; titled &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://agentgenius.com/g-rants-insanity-more/real-estate/why-the-extended-home-buyer-tax-credit-is-a-slap-in-the-face/&quot; title=&quot;Homebuyer Tax Credit blog on Agent Genius&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why the Extended Homebuyer Tax Credit is a Slap in the Face&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&quot; which is a great read.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Haywood County numbers for October have been updated to include closings that were added after I reported October sales on November 1st. &lt;strong&gt;Yearly&lt;/strong&gt; comparison statistics will be reported later this week. They aren't pretty.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>This Real Estate Roller Coaster Ride is Not My First Rodeo, Mike Jones!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Mike Jones (&lt;a href=&quot;http://activerain.com/blogs/miraclemike&quot; title=&quot;Mike Jones on Active Rain&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Miracle Mike&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) asked for a vintage (circa 1980...) photo yesterday, but I was in CE class all day so just this morning had a minute to dig up an oldie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This photo was taken in West Palm Beach, FL on the Quarter Horse show circuit I followed every year while I lived on 440 acres in Sarasota with Mr. Blackmon with plenty of 'disposable' income. What a great time I had showing horses all over the country, and raising some great foals as well. My favorite classes on the show circuit were Halter, Western Pleasure, English Hunt Seat, Reining, and a few others thrown in every now and then.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had so much disposable income at that time (thanks to Mr. Blackmon's very successful construction company) that I flew to Arizona twice a year to be measured for my hand-made show clothes. Nothing like doing things with gusto/ridiculous consumerism! I was, and still am, most passionate about horses and the Western lifestyle, and would love to immerse myself in it even more! Horses, Cowboys, an Airstream, and a checking account in the black are the focus of my vision board!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's my beautiful &lt;a href=&quot;http://Horsealicious.com&quot; title=&quot;Horsealicious website&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Horsealicious&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; website, a work in progress (built by &lt;a href=&quot;http://dakno.com/&quot; title=&quot;Dakno website&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dakno&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;). I have big plans for the site, over time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The filly in this photo was by Man-in-Command, a World Champion stallion owned by Tommy Manion. Her dam was a big, stout Quarter horse mare I owned at the time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The horses, along with Mr. Blackmon, are no longer in my stable!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let 'er buck!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No matter where you look these days, there's an abundance of talk today about the 'new' ways to market ... whether you sell toys, cars, real estate, or social media consulting. This sign is on a building on a creek in Maggie Valley, and it tells of a time gone by in the world of real estate.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p class=&quot;postinfo&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://buckingtherealestatetrend.com/category/photography/&quot; title=&quot;View all posts in Photography&quot; rel=&quot;category tag&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These photos were taken late Friday afternoon (10/30) in &lt;strong&gt;Maggie Valley&lt;/strong&gt; close to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ghosttowninthesky.com&quot; title=&quot;Ghost Town in the Sky website&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Ghost Town&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. It was drizzling rain when I was taking the photos, and as you can see, our fall leaves were evident on the ground instead of in the trees.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you like creek photos, please look at my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/susieblackmon/sets/72157622562875821/&quot; title=&quot;Creek photo set on Flickr&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;set of creek photos on Flickr&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. We have had a good bit of rain, so the creeks are great to photograph right now.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Fall Color in Maggie Valley ... Gone With the Wind.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The amount of rain we had recently, I am told, hastened the demise of our beautiful fall leaves. We also had a little early snow at the higher elevations, with a return to warmer, milder temperatures during the past 2 weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The locals tell me that the woolly worms are predicting a very cold winter this year. The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.woollyworm.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;view=category&amp;amp;layout=blog&amp;amp;id=49&amp;amp;Itemid=69&quot; title=&quot;Woolly Worm Festival 2009&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2009 Woolly Worm Festival in Banner Elk&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; came and went and I wasn't able to get there, but I hope to next year.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>When It Comes to Life's Adventures, Don't Ever Pull Back on the Reins!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;It seems our Fall colors are now fading and the leaves are mostly on the ground, but these photos were taken a couple of days ago in Maggie Valley, with some pretty 'colorful' results.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did you know Google made a big 'real estate' move Friday? &lt;a href=&quot;http://buckingtherealestatetrend.com/2009/10/30/google-made-a-big-real-estate-move-today-1000watt-consulting/&quot; title=&quot;Google maps can pull up RE for sale&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Search for real estate on Google maps...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did you know &lt;a href=&quot;http://dakno.com/&quot; title=&quot;Dakno website&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dakno&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is customizing pages on Posterous? &lt;a href=&quot;http://SusieBlackmon.com&quot; title=&quot;Susie's Posterous&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here's what they did for my Posterous&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. I worked with Bobby Carroll of Dakno. You can reach him on Twitter at &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/rewebcoach&quot; title=&quot;Bobby Carroll on Twitter&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;@rewebcoach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dakno also created my beautiful horse website, &lt;a href=&quot;http://Horsealicious.com&quot; title=&quot;Horse website&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Horsealicious&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Maggie Valley Leaf Viewing Even More Beautiful on a Creek.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The leaf colors are changing rapidly this week, and the leaves on the trees on this creek in &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://buckingtherealestatetrend.com&quot; title=&quot;Maggie Valley blog&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Maggie Valley&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; were spectacular a couple of days ago. The weather has been warm this week, and we have had more rain, so many leaves are falling off the trees (and I'm having to rake my yard again). Perish the thought.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>I Won't Retire as Long as I have My Legs and My Makeup Box, But I Would Live on a Maggie Valley Creek.</title>
      <description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;*** Regarding the I-40 rock slide, here are: &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://buckingtherealestatetrend.com/2009/10/27/alternate-routes-to-maggie-valley-to-avoid-i-40-rock-slide/&quot; title=&quot;Alternate routes with maps to get to Maggie Valley&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Alternate Routes to Maggie Valley&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; ***&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the 'want&amp;rsquo; list of the majority of home buyers when they come to &lt;a href=&quot;http://haywood-nc.com/&quot; title=&quot;Haywood County website&quot;&gt;Haywood County&lt;/a&gt; is: home on a &lt;strong&gt;creek&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;NOTE&lt;/span&gt;: no water flows &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;into&lt;/span&gt; Haywood County. Each and every creek, stream and river in the County actually originates in Haywood County.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Listen (on the video) to the reason many people want to live on a creek. (Video filmed Sunday, October 25, 2009, in Maggie Valley.)&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>What Does the Luxury Home Market Look Like in Maggie Valley and Waynesville in Haywood County, NC?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;In response to several inquiries about luxury homes here in the WNC mountains, the numbers below compare the previous 5 years of &amp;lsquo;luxury&amp;rsquo; sales to 2009 &amp;lsquo;luxury&amp;rsquo; sales in &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://buckingtherealestatetrend.com&quot; title=&quot;Haywood County blog&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Haywood County&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, including Maggie Valley, Waynesville, Canton, Clyde and Lake Junaluska.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The number of &lt;strong&gt;active&lt;/strong&gt; listings in Haywood County in the &amp;lsquo;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;luxury&amp;rsquo; price market&lt;/span&gt; ($800,000 to $5,000,000) on the date of this report, 10/24/09, was &amp;ndash; &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;74&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;ndash; and they were priced between $829,000 and $4,300,000. The &lt;strong&gt;average&lt;/strong&gt; days on market for these listings at that time was &lt;strong&gt;277&lt;/strong&gt;. As you can see, there have been only 4 'luxury home' sales to date this year.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Fall Leaf Color Starting to Pop in Maggie Valley, Waynesville and Haywood County, NC.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This photograph was taken late Friday afternoon (October 23), in the rain, in &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://buckingtherealestatetrend.com&quot; title=&quot;Maggie Valley blog&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Maggie Valley&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. The leaves have been gold for several weeks, but the orange and red colors are popping out everywhere. Prime time for leaf lookers in Maggie Valley and Waynesville.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The temperature this morning on my deck is a crisp 32 degrees (at 7:30 a.m.), and this might be the coldest morning for the next few days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My &lt;strong&gt;Fall 2009&lt;/strong&gt; photos on Flickr: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/susieblackmon/sets/72157622486723382/&quot; title=&quot;Fall 2009 photos on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fall 2009&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Maggie Valley Creeks ... Unique and Beautiful.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Running parallel to Soco Road (Highway 19) in Maggie Valley is a beautiful creek that provides many 'creekside' views and homes. This photo was taken at the 'Ghost Town' end of town. The sound of the water rushing is priceless.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Haywood County creeks are quite unique in that no water flows INTO the County. Every stream, creek and river in the County &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;originates&lt;/span&gt; here.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Hemphill Road in Jonathan Creek (Waynesville) NC ... Christmas trees, cattle and creeks.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I drove through &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://buckingtherealestatetrend.com/2009/10/21/dusk-at-boyd-mountain/&quot; title=&quot;Recent visit to Boyd Mountain&quot;&gt;Boyd Mountain Log Cabins and Tree Farm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; early Tuesday evening and then took a drive (with my Flip camera) down Hemphill (Boyd&amp;rsquo;s is on Hemphill). Winding country roads, creeks, beautiful pastures, cattle ranches, Christmas tree farms, and mountains everywhere ...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;General Directions to Hemphill Road:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Exit 20 off of I-40 which is Hwy 276. Go South on Highway 276 for 3 1/2 miles to Hemphill Road. Turn right on Hemphill Road. First Road on left is Boyd Farm Road. Keep going straight if you aren&amp;rsquo;t going to Boyd&amp;rsquo;s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are driving from Waynesville or Maggie Valley, follow Hwy 276 North to Hemphill Road. Turn left on Hemphill Road. Boyd Farm is on the first road on the left (or keep going straight if you aren&amp;rsquo;t going to Boyd&amp;rsquo;s).&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Where Is &quot;The Most Photographed View in the Smokies?&quot; </title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;According to many, the most photographed view in the Smokies is in &lt;a href=&quot;http://buckingtherealestatetrend.com&quot; title=&quot;Blog about Maggie Valley&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Maggie Valley&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Early in the evening of October 21st I drove to the 'lookout' on the road out of Maggie Valley (Highway 19) heading toward Cherokee &amp;hellip; known as the &amp;ldquo;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vgg.com/otr/smokies.html&quot; title=&quot;Another blog about the view.&quot;&gt;most photographed view in the Smokies&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;rdquo; The Soco Craft building at the lookout is closed, but every time I drive by there I think about what a great location it would be for a restaurant serving delicious food.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Christmas Ornaments, Decorations, and Gifts for Everyone (and You) at Cabbage Rose in Maggie Valley.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;No matter who you are, you will have a very hard time getting out of &lt;a href=&quot;http://cabbagerose.com/&quot; title=&quot;Cabbage Rose on-line&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cabbage Rose&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (1) unscathed or (2) quickly!! BE WARNED: Gigantic Christmas section &amp;hellip; ornaments and decorations galore ... year-round.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cabbage Rose&lt;/strong&gt; was closed the other night when I was taking pictures (thank goodness), but I can&amp;rsquo;t wait to visit them again to see their new Christmas ornaments. The Christmas section alone is worth a visit or three.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cabbage Rose&lt;/strong&gt; is right next to the Festival Grounds and Guayabitos, and right across from &lt;a href=&quot;http://buckingtherealestatetrend.com/2009/10/20/maggie-valley-shopping-mall/&quot; title=&quot;Market Square in Maggie Valley&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Market Square&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Bring Your Sugar Daddy to Market Square Shopping Mall in Maggie Valley, Across from Guayabitos and Cabbage Rose.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Just before the sun disappeared the other day, I took a few photos of our little shopping mall, Market Square. Wore me out... so I had to stop by the ice cream shop at the mall to get the energy to get home. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Market Square&lt;/strong&gt; is very easy to find on Soco Road (Highway 19), right across from &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://buckingtherealestatetrend.com/2009/10/20/cabbage-rose-full-of-christmas-ornaments-and-decorations-in-maggie-valley/&quot; title=&quot;Cabbage Rose article&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Cabbage Rose&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, Guayabitos, and the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggievalleyfestivalgrounds.com&quot; title=&quot;Festival Grounds website&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Festival Grounds&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can find unique gift shops, tee shirt stores, candy stores, coffee shops, scrapbooking supplies, jewelry stores, real estate offices, an ice cream parlor, and a photography shop to have your 'mountain man' photos taken.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(These photos were taken Monday evening, 10/19.)&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Zestimates: they're just a starting point</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I love &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zillow.com/&quot; title=&quot;Zillow's website&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Zillow&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and David Gibbons and posted David's Zestimate video (link below) recently:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://buckingtherealestatetrend.com/2009/10/09/zillows-informative-zestimate-value-video/&quot; title=&quot;David's Zestimate video&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;David Gibbons talking about Zillow's Zestimate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's more information about Zillow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;reblogging_tag&quot;&gt;Via &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://activerain.com/blogsview/1264609/zestimates-they-re-just-a-starting-point&quot;&gt;Spencer Rascoff (Zillow)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This morning, I received an email from the head of marketing at a very large real estate company who is a listing partner of Zillow's. He asked me if I had a canned response to agents asking about Zestimate accuracy. Here's the email that I sent him:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hi XX,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have two videos on this topic which we send to a lot of people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zillow.com/wikipages/What-is-a-Zestimate/ &quot; title=&quot;Zestimate accuracy&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;This video&lt;/a&gt; is geared towards consumers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/Zestimates&quot; title=&quot;Zestimate accuracy video&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;And this video is geared towards real estate professionals.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So the easiest thing for you to do is to send your agents &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/Zestimates&quot; title=&quot;Zestimate accuracy video&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;a link to the video&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also here&amp;rsquo;s a &lt;a href=&quot;http://activerain.com/blogsview/848811/how-accurate-are-zillow-s-zestimates-&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;blog post&lt;/a&gt; on the topic.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But here are the main points so you also have them in text.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Zestimates are calculated three times per week by computer models that try to approximate what the market value is for almost every home in the country. We crunch numbers on 70 million homes and publish those Zestimates to the website every few days. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We're very transparent about our Zestimate accuracy and we report on it quarterly on the site &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zillow.com/howto/DataCoverageZestimateAccuracy.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. We encourage agents to show the accuracy table (which can be found by clicking on &amp;ldquo;Zestimate Values &amp;amp; Accuracy&amp;rdquo; on the bottom of every page of the website). The accuracy table helps agents explain to clients the limitations of the Zestimate, and helps reinforce the importance that a real estate agent has in helping the client think through the value of their home. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Zestimate accuracy varies depending upon the quality of the information we have on the specific home. Also, Zestimates are more accurate on homes that are more similar to other homes that have recently sold; on the other hand, Zestimates are less accurate on more unique homes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Keep in mind that when a home is listed for sale on Zillow, several things happen with respect to the Zestimate: &lt;br /&gt; 
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1.	The Zestimate comes off the map page and is replaced with the For Sale price &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2.	The property attributes (e.g., # beds, # baths, sqft, etc) which were previously provided by the county are replaced by the listing information &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3.	Zillow recalculates the Zestimate within a few days based on the new property attributes. The For Sale price of the home is not a direct input into the Zestimate though. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;4.	On the listing page (aka &amp;ldquo;the home details page&amp;rdquo;), the Zestimate is removed from the top of the page and replaced with the For Sale price. The Zestimate still appears on the page, but at the very bottom. In some cases, the Zestimate doesn&amp;rsquo;t appear on the listing page due to an inability to match the address from the listings feed with an existing address in our database.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We tirelessly explain to consumers and agents that Zestimates are just a starting point and they're not the end-all-be-all in figuring out the value of a home. They're just another datapoint which needs to be considered and discussed between real estate agent and client.   Best regards, Spencer&lt;/p&gt;
