Home Value Estimates:Understanding Their Purposes And Evaluating Their Results
“In the case of the Zestimate modeling framework, which contains numerous submodels, each estimating a home’s value via different valuation approaches and data inputs, our goal of independence means that the listing price is not a factor in any of our valuation submodels.”
Fascinating read on what goes in to Zillow’s Zestimates. I also love the comparison of how Zillow’s methodology differs from Redfin’s AFTER the home comes on the market.
