Zillow is not an appraisal site. It is a free service that offers property values estimates based on an automated valuation model. Does it have erroneous valuations? Of course – in the same way that counties generate erroneous property values for tax purposes.

But what ever happened to buyer beware? And there isn’t even a buyer involved! It is a free service.

Everyone needs to chill out.

Zillow “Guess-Idiots” appear to rely on public tax records that in some cases haven’t been updated in twenty-five years. The zestimator is a sketchy tool to rely on. I believe it’s best to use a Professional Realtor when appraising property.

Hi, it’s David from Zillow. Thanks for our support.

Just FYI: Zillow is not “illegal” anywhere and you can still find Zestimates and more in Arizona (and the rest of the country) on our site.

Here’s an update on the AZ issue;
Zillow has received two letters from the AZ board of Appraisers and we disagree with their suggestion that Zillow.com is providing appraisals. That assertion is simply false; Zestimate values on Zillow are the output of our proprietary automated valuation models (AVM) and are not the result of an appraisal. We hope to clear up this confusion soon and are focused on productively resolving this matter with the AZ Attorney General’s office.
