Two Million New Zestimates!
By: Tommy Unger, Data Analyst | January 23, 2007
I’m very excited to announce that we recently added two million new Zestimates spanning 36 counties throughout the country. This is our most significant Zestimate coverage increase since launch and raises our national coverage to 51.5 Million Zestimates, with data on close to 70 million homes in total. We have added coverage in Georgia, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Utah. Texas and Utah have been a bit more challenging because these are non-disclosure states.
In the northern suburbs of Atlanta we now have more than 400,000 new Zestimates in Gwinnett and Cobb counties. Thinking about moving down South? Be sure to check out homes for sale and with Make Me Move prices in the area. Here’s a home for sale in Lawrenceville, GA and a Make Me Move home in Maritta, GA.
One of the most interesting new additions is Park City, Utah. You may remember that this was the home of many of the ski events in the 2002 Winter Olympics. It includes such Make Me Move gems as this one for $950,000. The Zindex (median Zestimate) for homes in the Park City ZIP code of 84060 is currently $821,000. This means that 50% of homes in 84060 are currently Zestimated at more than $821,000— not a bad place to call home if you can!
But that’s not the most expensive new community added in our latest round of updates. Deal, New Jersey’s ZIP code 07723 has a Zindex of $1.45 million. This ocean front area in close proximity to New York City is prime real estate, and includes a handful of homes with a Zestimate of more than $5 million. Not too shabby! We’ve also added another 370,000 new Zestimates in Monmouth and Essex Counties, also suburbs of the Big Apple, only here many more of us may be able to afford a home, like this one in in Freehold, NJ.
We’re continually working to acquire new data and enhance our current coverage, with both new data sources and homeowner input, and we’ll keep updating you when we have significant adds. For now, here’s the list of the new counties with Zestimates:

Any idea when/if you’ll be getting information on NH?

Such a huge gain for Georgia, but no data for Fulton and Dekalb county - bummer! Anxiously awaiting…

Frank and Jim —
Thanks for asking. We’ve got a few initiatives in the works that will further expand our coverage in the coming months — definitely in GA, and possibly in(to) NH.

Out of the 2 million, how many are accurate?
You know I love you guys, I just have to ask because I like to ask the tough questions.

Teresa,
We currently don’t have the historical Zestimates in these new areas to measure our accuracy. In the coming weeks and months we will have new transactions and historical Zestimates, and we’ll be able to report on our accuracy.

Why does zillow list the wrong
information about my house,the
listed info on the site has my house as 800 sq.ft.yet the legal
court documents states the correct
lot size and square footage which is a 1600+ sq.ft.home and appr. 5000 sq.ft.lot size and the property is also in a commerically zone area I’ve e-mail you about the web information problem,should I proceed an seek professional advice Hopefully,the next time I research your site you will have the correct information,The house has two stories 3 bedrooms 3 baths with great room and family room
I am trying to sell my home this
gives negative information to perspective home buyers!

Tony - you do it the opposite of how I do it. I do some research, varify my facts, sometimes have some one else proof read, and then I publish. You got me thinking, i could crank it out faster if i skipped all those steps and just published.
I totaly respect your right to freedom of speach!

I used to use zillow daily and absolutely love this site. Ever since your upgrades 2 months or so ago the site rarely ever works. I try every day and it may work 2% of the time now. Are you aware of the problem? Are there any plans of repairs in the future? Can I be of any assistance?
