Zillow doesn't offer any pricing. Only the owner can set the price. And the owner can set absolutely any price they like.
I strongly suggest you set the price to $432 million. That should be enough to discourage most people.

dont lose sleep over it. for a home to truly drop $7,000 in 30 days, the home would have to be worth millions of dollars to begin with. zillow merely provides estimates that can fluctuate rapidly

I agree with Sunnyview. If you aren't interested in the range, you won't get what you want on Zillow. If you want a single number, hire a single appraiser once a month and each month you'll have your single number. Of course, if you get two or three appraisers you might find 10% difference between their numbers. The bottom line is always the sales price.

If what is important is your home price, then you should not be looking to a website that cannot even see you home for that. You need to be looking to an agent, an appraiser or a qualified buyer holding an offer in their hand to buy your house.
Zillow is none of those things. They don't even have eyes for goodness sake. They offer a computer valuation model via the web. If you don't want that broad range or opinion about value, you need to use another method. Zillow is what it is. Some good, some bad, some accurate, some not, but no matter what they are or aren't Zillow paints values with a broad brush by necessity because they cannot see your house

If you look at the Zestimate graph down on the lower portion of your home details page, what upward change do you see in the time period I mentioned?
I am sorry you are so pained by your Zestimate. Are you also looking at the range for the Zestimate? In my opinion that is far more important than the single number called a Zestimate. Your range is $417K – $720K. That is huge, far more than the less than 5% difference between neighbors.
I'm not paid by Zillow, no matter how much you think so, but I do do statistics all day long and all night long so am comfortable with statistical modelling.

Between Feb 2011 and July 2011, the Zestimate on your house increased far faster than the averages for your city. (Your neighbors were probably screaming why was your Zestimate soaring and theirs wasn't) Consequently, your house's Zestimate is now in a correction phase. Watching the Zestimate alone closely without watching the range and the city's indexes would certainly be disconcerting.
Zestimates do not take into account the upgrades you describe. The Zestimates are numbers generated from a computer model with public data, and are not an appraisal or CMA. Hopefully when the "my estimate" feature returns, perhaps in the spring, then you'll have a chance to see the impact of the upgrades on the price.
These adjustments are not related to your complaints, just the variation one expects to see in the statistical modeling. It still appears that you would prefer an appraisal - if you are planning on selling, you may find that would be a good thing to purchase before putting on the market.
