This is not an attempt to discredit the general value Zillow provides to the public but... as a Broker that specializes in selling homes, I witnessed and experienced many instances throughout my career where homeowners are refraining from moving forward based on the "perceived" accuracy of Zillow's Zestimates, ...and even worse in some cases, where homeowners are selling their homes losing thousands of dollars from the equity of their homes because they were unaware of it's real value. (as depicted in these two examples)
Zillow has an important function for all real estate related transactions in the US. . is just that I wish they were MORE UPFRONT in warning homeowners of the real accuracy of their Zestimates. . or even better, why have it? since we know its not an accurate figure. . . and let the "LOCAL" Realtors out there provide this valuable service of ESTIMATING THE VALUE OF A HOME.
