Really, Zillow?
Dear Zillow,
Thanks for the email this morning letting me know that the value of my home went up over the past 30 days. But is it really possible to change 7.2% in just a month?  And look that that Zestimate range: $183,600 to $261,630.  That's kind of a huge spread.  I know, I know.  I've heard all the Zillow Talk about how real estate agents should use the estimates as a "starting point" in conversations about Zillow, blah blah blah.
But Texas is a non-disclosure state. The only way to find out what something actually sold for is to get it from our MLS.  Since you, Zillow, don't have access to the MLS, how are you coming up with your numbers?
All one has to do is look at your accuracy table.  You rate yourself as only Fair for the Dallas/Fort Worth area:
22% accuracy within 5% of sale price 39% accuracy within 10% of sale price 63% accuracy within 20% of sale price and a median error of 13.9% If you read the fine print, it defines median error: Half of the estimates in an area were closer than the error percentage and half were farther off. That mean ... more
