    Want a rough estimate on how much your neighbors house is worth? (LINK)

    The website causing a bunch of headaches for brokers everywhere. I have a friend who is not happy about it...real estate agents and brokers are up in arms.

    http://www.zillow.com

    My house did come in at about 20k less than it was recently appraised at but everything else was spot on.

            Great site. I still can't believe how crazy US home prices are nowadays. The bubble is even affecting the Philippines where I currently reside. The crazy real estate prices are pushing many expat Filipinos ("balikbayans") to buy relatively cheaper properties here, thereby pushing local prices up. Not that I'm complaining--it creates local jobs and boosts the economy.

                    Well what it does basically is extract the information from public records. And generates it's estimate off the land, rooms, baths etc. of the house.

                    It's definately a work in progress....but they admit so themselves. It's only going to get more acurate.

                      Haha this site is retarded. Prices are no where close. It has mine valued at half of what it is. The houses around here are selling at about 175K. It has them listed at 75-80K.

                          The site is accurate about half the time.

                          The other half its way way way off.

                            If they can make it more accurate, it'd be a nice resource.

                                Wow these numbers are off. Showing $175k for something that is closer to $500k.

                                    Yeah, it a great concept, but it's a little out of date. Some of my neighbors finished construction on their homes and moved in over a year ago... and that site still shows them as empty lots.

                                          I checked that a few days ago and it seems VERY inconsistent. Apparently there are only 2 houses in my entire town and they are worth less than what a 1/2 acre vacant lot sells for.

                                          My last house shows at value of $80K which is what it originally sold for......20 years ago. It's worth 4 times that now.

                                          My brother's house was the same - 1/3 of what he even paid for it 3 years ago.

                                          It seems to pull from tax assesment records and MLS listings, not actual courthouse records on what a house sold for.

                                              All the houses here that are in ghetto cities like Anaheim and Garden Grove are going for 500k, thats unbelievable. I wouldn't even want to live there, their not even nice neighborhoods and going for 500k. That's terrible.

                                              I went to elementary school in Anaheim and it was nothing but wanna be gangsters and cholos (mexican gangsters kiddies) at my school, and in the street where i used to live houses are going for over 500k and thats in the ghetto! And there's lots of crime there too, it's ridiculous to pay half a mil to live in a garbage dump.

                                                European Lee said, and I quote, "Why not just check with your local authorities tax records?

                                                Its much easier and you get a lot more information too :winkwink"


                                                Please explain how the fuck that is easier than typing in your address and getting result in about 5 seconds?

                                                  I looked up the house where my bf grew up and lived in Huntington Beach in O.C is worth 633k, and he keeps telling me how he grew up in the ghetto

                                                  He's always saying how the neighborhood is terrible and how its so ghetto, but
                                                  633k is a lot for a house in the ghetto.... Now I don't know anymore if it really is ghetto or if he's just crazy...

                                                                This info is wrong. In my town it's basing vaule on what the property tax value is but my county only counts 25% of the home estiamted value towards taxes. So a house worth $100,000 would show up as being only worth $25,000 according to this website. So you have to multiply the answer it gives you by 4. Now I know this but how many others would, seeing the same info? Other places have different rules too. I know in Florida they have a $25K homestead exemption. Is this figured into the vaule this website gives are do I have to add that?
