Why has Zillow excluded the prior sale of my home from the Z-estimate? It shows the transaction ($1,150,000 on 2/16/07) but excludes it saying that it may not have been an arms length transaction. I bought the house from the builder through a broker. How is that not arms length? The z-estimate is therefore heavily skewed because the home was built on raw land. How can this be rectified?

Try clicking on the more tab top right. Choose help and ask your question there. Sounds very odd. If I was your neighbor I'd want that comp included.
