Zillow is the most consistently wrong source for real estate that I have come across.
I have not seen them once get a price right on a home in our market - usually Zillow shows it at a much higher price, sometimes as much as 50% too much.

You are saying that they are consistently ‘over-optimistic.’ Then we know how much margin we can discount their view by.

Sounds like Zillow is still using an old boom years model.

Real Estate is another scam. It's an industry based on subjective reasoning all the way around.

Their concept is wrong; they can’t be right. There’s no way one website can estimate the value of every home.
Even appraisers who live in the areas they cover sometimes struggle to create the right value.

As for Zillow....the accuracy is just about equal to the cost of the service.....ZERO.
