great real estate site

saw this in the WSJ yesterday:

http://www.zillow.com

you put in the address and it tells you the worth of the house in relation to the houses around it...also gives you indepth property tax breakdowns and details.

I was playing around with it for an hour last night! IMO, it's about 10-15% below on what they estimate houses are worth.

also, their info is not always accurate. they listed my parents house as a 1 story with 2 baths. not correct.

It's fun!! I checked my DH's uncle's house and it's estimated at $489,082...well, his uncle just sold it for $698K... I say it's a bit off...

They didnt say much about my house. Except that my previous seller bought it for 164k back in 1998!

it's definitely off! my sister's house in the Bay Area is worth well over a million $ and it estimated her house at $925K. Her neighbors across the street sold their house a few months ago for $1.2M, and her house is bigger with more upgrades.

I checked my Dad house- which they didn't have but they estimated houses going from around $4-$500K- which is WAY off as well- more like $700K+

mynassauproperty.com has the value per the county that our taxes are based on-not the market value even though it says market value.

Right, but what I think is helpful and interesting is the comparable sales...etc.

Right-it doesn't have all the info for my house!

Re: great real estate site

if you want to compare sales info I think Newsdays real estate section is the most accurate- or a real agent or apprasier can pull comps for the neighborhood

Re: great real estate site

These websites always list the property values at 20% less than their actual value. It's not meant to be a CMA (comparative market analysis). They are more for governmental use for property values. If you want a real CMA, you need to speak to a realtor that will give you accurate amounts based on recent home sales.

Re: great real estate site

that site has what the sellers paid for our home 5 years ago. It is not up to date here at all.
