why is the chart below the picture of my home showing the zillow estimate incorrect?

Profile picture for flynnbarry

I have checked on the zillow estimate of my periodically over the last year and the during the last month or so, those numbers have all changed dramatically.  around the end of 2010 and beginning of 2011, my zillow estimate was over 420k.  according to the new chart posted, it says the zillow estimate hasn't been that high since 2008, but again, that is not true.  while your estimates have been dropping, that shouldn't change the value you estimated at that time.  the zillow estimate was still over 400k up until april of this year.  I am not questioning or stating what the value of my house is, I am just stating that the software that shows your historical zillow estimates is wrong.  those are not the values you assigned to my home over time.  what happened?
