Instead, at least in our area, it appears to have driven them further away. I don’t know that there can be a way to truly assign value to homes with just computer programs. Our public record data here is spotty at best, so it will affect outside valuation no matter what…even if algorithms are as good as they can get…

On a recent Bloomberg interview Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff accepted that 17% of the 110 million Zestimates are more than 25% incorrect. Thats almost 20 million homes which are erroneously valued by Zillow in their pursuit of advertising revenues. It is outrageous that Zillow can peddle inaccurate information on the scale they do, and refuse ALL requests from homeowners to correct or delete the inaccurate valuation. They have demonstrated they cannot be trusted to act in a fair minded way towards homeowners and time our elected representatives imposed some form of regulation over Zillows Zestimates to protect homeowners.

Leake Sat, 09 Mar 2013 19:46:53 +0000 http://www.realtormarney.com/?p=17685#comment-1397 I am a product of the Maryland School system and have always been proud to defend the schools that I have attended in my life time. Probably more than most because of my fathers work in the publishing business and his restless feet during my ear;y school years. First grade at Essex, and second grade at Morrell Par, third to 1/2 year fourth grade at Linthicum Heights, fourth grade to firth grade(3 mos) at Stevensville(Kent County)and the rest of my gramar school years at Westchester Elementarh(Oella).
Thankfully my High School years were all completed at Catonsville High School, Class of 1937, a school that was second to none and teachers were all topnotch. Although I now reside in Wisconsin, I am a Marylander and proud of it and also a life long Terp Fan

Unfortunately that deal is over for 2013, but should be back next February. I realize the link in the site did not work — they must have removed it after the weekend was over. Here is a press release from the comptroller’s office detailing more: http://comptroller.marylandtaxes.com/Media_Services/2013/02/15/dont-forget-shop-maryland-energy-this-weekend-2/

Thank you!
