Zillow Review Summary

Home buyers have many tools to use in their search for property and one is Zillow.com, an online site designed for those who want to know about a specific property and the area where it is located. Zillow.com is a free service and users can look up the property value of any address. But reviews of Zillow.com are mixed overall, with some people liking Zillow.com for its ability to indicate property value and others not liking Zillow.com for its numerous mathematical errors and its lack of detail. Zillow.com is “Quick, easy, and free to look up a home value”, but also “Riddled with Errors…Very Unreliable”. These mixed reviews make Zillow.com a questionable Real Estate Web Site for those in seek of a new property.

This is a great website to see how your home value compares to others in the area if you're a homeowner, or to check the approximate value of a potential home if you're looking to buy. The website connects to Google Maps and will give you an aerial view of the neighborhood, with home values… read full review »

Real estate seems to be a popular subject these days.  Television shows like House Hunters and Designed to Sell represent our collective fascination with the unpredictable real estate market.   With the mortgage crisis in full swing, it's only natural to wonder how much your house is… read full review »

I have discovered many errors on this site, and there is NO contact us buttons, so you can't even request for them to be fixed.  For instance, a house listed as for sale shows 1510 square feet priced at $154,000 - they show that is $116 per square foot, but my calculator says that is $102 per square foot. That is quite a difference when you consider that they then go on to show you the price per square foot of comparative homes that have recently sold.  I needed to check each of them too, and found that the math is bad on more than half of them as well.  — This site is… read full review »

As a Realtor, I can tell you that this source is not very reliable.  It will give the sale prices of homes but what it does not tell you is the transaction's detail.  A home that is sold as a "Handy Man Special"  more than likely will not sell for the same price if that same home were renovated and value has been added.  So basically, you have a seller thinking he/she can get $125,000 for their less than desirable property, not realizing that the home that they are referencing was sold for $125,000 because $30,000 worth of repairs/renovations have been… read full review »
