Do you guys put much stock in Zillow when buying/selling? I paid quite a bit of attention to it when we were looking for our current house, but I'm getting a bit suspicious of it now - the zestimate for our house is a good $150k higher than I would expect it to be, and higher than bigger houses in our neighboorhood... I wonder if people (or more likely real estate agents) have figured out how to "game" it to make their houses looking more appealing?
I put next to no stock in Zestimates at all. They are saying my house is worth $325k, we have it on the market for $310 and all of the bids were are getting are like $265k-$275. I would also guess there is a way to game it.
