I think the nicest thing you will hear about zillow estimates on this forum is “wildly inaccurate”.
However, you can still use zillow to estimate market value, by doing exactly what appraisers do, which is look at the sold comps in the last 6 months in that area.

April 15, 2011 at 1:34 PM #687140EchooooParticipantthe last 6 months sold data is more accurate than Zillow. If you really want to make a purchase, you should look at the neighborhood sales, unless you are just testing the water and see how low it can go…

April 15, 2011 at 5:06 PM #687830SD RealtorParticipantI think that finding fair value is something that is a bit of a comfort to buyers but has nothing to do with whether the seller will accept an offer or not. Subsequently using a tool like zillow to establish fair value is inaccurate at best. Knowing details about the comps that you are selecting is just as important as the chronology of when those sales occurred. Knowing other issues such as expireds, cancelleds, and active pending ratios in the submarket you are thinking about is just as important. The active pending ratio is crucial because the comps may say one thing with respect to the price but have no reflection of the current activity. Thus you may base your offer on those comps but if the area is active your offer will be bypassed. Value is only an opinion that is nothing more then a snapshot in time. I am not saying it is not useful, but don’t bet the farm on it.
