zestimation(Please reread the title with sarcasm. Good.)

Zillow can guestimate Market value within 20% of the actual sold price between 51 and 88% of the time! Yippee!

What this means is that Zillow can guestimate the market value of a $500,000 home within $100,000 more than 1/2 the time! (It's worth somewhere between $400,000 and $600,000...)

Do you really need a computer to help you guess the market value of a home with that much precision?

And what about the other 12-49% of the time?

To Zillow's credit, it does guestimate the actual market value within 5% of the actual sold price 14 - 41% of the time.

But again, what about the other 59-86% of the time?

(Data tables here.)

(Unfortunately, Salt Lake City, Utah is not one of the metropolitain areas they are disclosing accuracy in.)

Benjamin-That is why I don't like to put my listings on Zillow. It is amazingly inaccurate in areas where there is a lot of new construction.

When Zillow first came online they were no where near being right with prices in Utah.
