Can You Guess the Price of That House?

One of the regulars in Zillow’s Discussions named SoCalBubbleHead decided to have a little fun the other day and started a game called “Guess the Price of that House.” This is how SoCalBubbleHead started it:

I thought I would try something new. Everyone can post a photo of a house and we can guess how much the asking price is. Be sure to include the location of the house, and some basic facts about it if you wish to play. I will start:

Location: Northern New Jersey
Bedrooms: 5
Bathrooms: 3.5
Year Built: 1960s

Little did SoCalBubbleHead know, there is already a game built off the basic concept of “what is that home worth?” and it’s called “Price Me Now” — available at Realius.com. Realius is an API partner of ours (they are using our GetDeepComps API call) that I covered on Geek Estate Blog in September (actually twice).

At this writing, there were about 12 entries from various contributors with some close price guesses and some not-so-close. But, it was a fun little thread that revealed a wide price-range of homes in various locations. And if you look at this thread and the homes and the prices, it just goes to show you that location IS everything.
