    I bookmarked a bunch of homes that I was looking at during Oct-Dec 2008 in the MM/92126 area. The Zestimates for those now are 100-150K higher than what they sold for. How the heck did they arrive at these numbers in this market? Yikes!

    I’ve noticed that Zillow fairly consistently overestimates prices, starting some time ago (that I’ve forgotten), within the last 2 years.

    I suspect they got a message that their business model wasn’t going to work unless they cooperated.

    I’ve seen Zestimates up 15% in the past 2-3 months for Oceanside SFRs. Not sure where they’re getting those numbers but it can’t be from comps …

    Previously, Zillow was merely overestimating the value; now, it is completely irrational. The best use you can get from Zillow is to expand the graph to 10 year mode and pick a historical value 8-10 years back. Basically consider this decade as the (first) lost decade.
