Which real estate listing site is more accurate?
Out of Zillow, Realtor, Trulia, Redfin, etc., which listing websites are more accurate?

@Dilman R. Realtor.com receives a direct MLS feed, so I'd say that's the most accurate.
Trulia is owned by Zillow.
Zillow receives SOME MLS feeds, but not all. Zillow scrapes a lot of data from other places and makes some really horrific mistakes.
Example - I had unit 1 of a 2-unit condo listed. The other unit had been off market for many years. Zillow smashed both together and created a new listing that had never existed. I found out when I go an IRATE phone call from the agent who had last listed unit #2 - she accused me of stealing her photos.
I didn't - Zillow combined both listings and all of the photos to represent a fictitious listing.
The day before I listed my last home for sale, Zillow and Trulia disagreed on the value of my home by $60,000.
Whatever you do, do NOT rely of the Zestimate for any sort of decision making. They're just awful.
