 I follow five houses owned by family members. Zillow runs consistently from a little bit to quite high on four of them and below market on the fifth. Their valuations seem to have bounced up or down by a few thousand every time I check. It has crossed my mind that providing too high estimated values and running the evaluations up and down pulls people in to keep checking with Zillow. Frankly, it can be a bit addicting (just like TOTV) which may be Zillow's goal.
