We're just seeing the beginning to these types of sites......

Yea! Someone finally realised there were other sites that provide similar and sometimes more accurate information. Try cyberhomes.com also.

Dang, I always get the long fruit names...

Zillow is its own worst enemy. On a phone call wih a prospective listing I asked them where they were looking to move. They gave me some areas they wanted to look so I pulled figures on homes in that area on Zillow. I then did a full 3-listing 3 sold CMA for each area. At the appointment the husband said that Zillow valued there house at $384,00 my CMA on their current neighborhood was $349,000. I showed him the Zillow figures for there desired relocation area; the husband said and I quote "They are full of crap, my boss only paid $419,00 for his house there is nothing in that neighborhood worth $448,00" I said exactly, slid the listing agreement for $349,000 in fron of him and he signed so fast he tore the page. His house sold full price in 22 days ( 4 days above average for that neighborhood) and he asked, why Zillow would be so over valued. I simply explained that a computer and a logarythym do not have emotions, children and mortgage payments. That is why location and price will always detrmine sales price! the computer does not take into effect the differences in neighborhoods in an area and zoning for schools in an area or traffic patterns and proximity to a grocery store, pharmacy and shopping. His neighborhood was not in the AAA rated school zone but the AA rated school, it was hard to exit the subdivision in the morning and the nearest grocery / pharmacy / shopping area was 2 miles or 15 minute away. However at $349,000 he had seen an 11%increase in value per year for the 5 years he had lived in tht neighborhood.

It's not hidden, it's right on the main page, and it's been there for quite a while.
