There seems to be a lot of Zestimate bashing going on for some reason. A plus or minus 8% valuation of an average American's most valuable asset seems to be fair in this age of information. For the purpose of this example we'll say for instance that the typical home in the U.S. sells for $250,000 and using this guide we can expect that any offer between $230,000 and $270,000 is an acceptable deviation in value. To a Buyer the former value is appropriate while a Seller sees only the latter. Herein is the difference between the realities of acceptable and reasonable.

We did see its use for investment properties, commercial space and multifamily analysis albeit a background statistic which complimented the whole. Most of the automatic valuation methods or AVM's used today weight it much more heavily as a market and pricing indicator. The fact is that consumers are using it as their single most accurate valuation tool and that causes conflict where our paths cross. I cannot defend its use for accuracy due to the wide range of values it generates. Pricing has always been puzzling for many and one simple equation can skew the realities of our marketplace. Would you consider price per acre or price per waterfr... 03/05/2015
