We're not gonna do a full blown appraisal on every prospective property, but I do appreciate your point about Zestimates being inflated which makes my point even more so - why oh why would anyone pay more than that and not factor for future losses? One of the most important things about buying real estate is the promise of appreciation over time, don't start out with a hill to climb! Agreed Glenn.

Even 3 appraisals have a plus or minus factor of 5% between high and low. If that is applied to the zestimate just the Hawk property is out of line.

I do think your take on the market is very anti-Homer though. One of my favorite blog posts of the year. I think all online property evaluations are Homeresque.

Everything else I'm in agreement. Guys, what is Homeresque is using Zillow as an evaluation tool. Everything else I’m in agreement.
