Comparables are actual sales of similar homes.  By comparing your home to those that already sold in the area, you can get a pretty good idea of how much your home will sell for.  The zestimate is just that, an estimate of value using some sort of formula on a computer.

Appraisers use comparables.  They should be within the same town or at least within a mile or so from the subject property and should be as similar as possible, and sold and closed within the past 6 months.  Prices change up or down in an area.  Zillow's graphs can help you see the general trend in your area.
