We want the record to be clear. We support consumer choice. But we also support choices made based on a full understanding of a product or service. Such is the case with every AVM, including Zillow. We have never told consumers not to use Zillow. The bottom line for us has always been: Is Zillow the better way to value your home? We believe not. We believe you will get a better estimate of value by having a real estate professional examine your home & the surrounding environment together with fresh, accurate & complete data. We did not believe from examining the site that the data was fresh, accurate or complete. The newest innovation by Zillow seems to confirm the reality that their data may be stale, inaccurate & incomplete. We also believe homes have unzillowables attached which AVMs do not account for to value your home. The choice is yours.
