Zillow is extremely useful if you use it as intended — as a rough guide of the best an algorithm can do in estimating home values.
Of *course* it will sometimes be wrong – sometimes by a lot.
But the zillow folks are not claiming their algorithm is as good as a person who actually comes to your house and charges you $500 or more for an estimate.
So just use zillow as intended, or don’t use it.
