My house has been going up between $500-1000 every day this week. So does Zillow update their Zestimate that often? What goes into the equations that are changing that fast? I don't see any comparables listed that are anywhere near the Zestimates. This area is saturated with short sales and <a href="http://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/fore_lt/">foreclosures</a> taht are selling for $100-150,000 less than thes zestimates for this area--does Zillow ignore these in the Zestimate?
