The algorithm is getting better but not for multi-families.Sold Price-closing cost-rehabit cost=70-75% Zestimate

For example:1) Appraised value (What the banks feel comfortable lending on based on recent sales)2) Market value (What buyers are willing to pay for the property)3) Assessed value (What the municipality thinks it's worth for tax reasons)4) Zestimate (What Zillow thinks it's worth based on an algorithm they think is right)5) Larry the contractors value (70 Percent of market value minus repairs)6) AVM (Core logics number based on comparable sales and an algorithm they think is right)7) BPO (What a local broker feels they can get for the property...

I know people dislike their Zestimates, but they are pretty good for an algorithm.

The search algorithms differ for each platform, but for Airbnb the main factors include response time to inquiries, instant book turned on, pricing, and reviews.As others have mentioned, I would look into other platforms/websites that focus on corporate rentals.

Frankly, I'm more interested in the underlying technology such as scalable consensus algorithms, tighter smart contract languages, zero knowledge proofs, decentralized governance, etc.

It just looks like their have better confidence in their value algorithm (than, say, we do in Trulia) and instead of offering 70% ARV on a $295K home ($206K) they offer $230K and tack on some fees.

@Timothy MalinZillow's algorithm is meaningless.

The algorithm makes no sense to me. 

I am assuming the Zillow algorithm uses list price to factor its Zestimate, but I am wondering if the pre-drop price could still be used.

Your scores for a mortgage company will be different from an auto loan company which will be different from a credit card company etc.Consumers who are not familiar with the different algorithms are always surprised that their mortgage fico scores are lower than the scores they get from other sources.
