I am not a big fan of Zillow at all. This site misguides the public and their data if often fraught with glaring errors and discrepancies. Rather than the public turning to a true licensed professional REALTOR (or a local Association or Board of Realtors) for advise and counsel on real property matters and local market conditions, and statistics; the reliance upon information contained in Zillow.com is a HUGE mistake for any consumer of real estate property related services.
