All REALTORS are familiar with that large company whose name starts with a Z. We're also familiar with their computer generated house values. Well...I took a look at the last three settlements here in Crofton, MD at the end of 2013.
2418 Chelmsford Dr., Crofton, MD 21114 - Settled 12/16/2013
Z estimate of value: $543,660
Sale Price: $619,900
1705 Jasper Lane, Crofton, MD 21114 - Settled 12/30/2013
Z estimate of value: $511,912
Sale Price: $543,880
1106 Fairlawn Ct., Crofton, MD 21114 - Settled 12/13/2013
Z estimate of value: $506,282
Sale Price: $519,000
Moral of this short story...Don't send a computer algorithm out to do a REALTORS job.
P.S. You're going to have to read between the lines as to who the company is, since I never write out their full name.
