Many of our clients are attempting to keep track of their home's value in this turbulent market. The website many consumers visit most often is Zillow.com, so we did some research to see just how accurate they are. You may be surprised to find out that over 50% of their Zestimates (the number on your roof when you type in your address) are more than 20% off! If you've ever wondered if your Zestimate was acurate, check this out yourself!
http://www.zillow.com/howto/DataCoverageZestimateAccuracyFL.htm. This is Zillow's own report, county by county, how their Zestimates compare to actual transaction prices.
For our clients and friends, we have found a resource that deals specifically with our area and focuses the information on your specific neighborhood, not taking into account areas like Las Vegas, New York, etc…areas that have no impact on your property value the way that other websites like Zillow.com do.
