Inconsistent Zillow Information

Profile picture for matackitt
I am writing to get information, and voice a concern.  I see it is an issue that has come up before with this website.  People have come to use Zillow as a quide when puchasing homes, and because of this I think it is important to have the site provide the most accurate data available.  Our home is an owner-built home, still occupied by the builder.  It has been consistently, and meticulously maintained.  Despite this, this month's neighborhood data shows that absolutely every single home in our neighborhood.....EVERY HOME........increased in value except ours.  The one that has been consistently maintained and updated.  Even those that have had absolutely no improvements in 20 years increased in value.  Those that had been close to the size and value of ours increased in value.  Ours was the only one to decrease, and to decrease by a significant amount.  This is incredibly frustrating and discouraging, as it is true that people use Zillow to dispute asking prices of homes for sale.  Can any one explain to me what the situation is in my neighborhood?  I live on Wilson Lane in Paradise, CA..............Thank you

 It is outrageous that a company can plant erroneous and unwanted valuations on peoples homes the way Zillow does purely for commercial reasons without any responsibility or accountability for the consequences, purely for the purpose of attracting advertising revenues.The fact that the homeowner is denied any right of appeal by Zillow is a travesty, and it's time our legislators caught up with the technology and introduced some form of Regulation over AVM sites like Zillow to stop this nonsense. No wonder home prices are in a race to the bottom when such irresponsible valuations are published using a flawed algorithm that has never been publicly tested and the source data that Zillow uses is riddled with errors. What fair minded society would approve this stuff?

You are not alone - the more I comment negatively on my home zestimate, the more Zillow drops it - some geek is sitting behind a computer jacking around with the numbers.  Zillow is NOT a reputable business or site - they are a joke.  They really know very little about real estate and more about making money selling ads on the internet.  I would not trust any real estate agent that uses the word "zillow" in their vocabulary - fire them immediately.....
