Zillow openly explains this at https://www.zillow.com/zestimate/ and publishes their median error rates and other stats for some major metro areas at https://www.zillow.com/zestimate/#acc.The good news is, it's relatively easy to validate how accurate it is for your market:Have your realtor pull 50 or 100 active and sold homes in the market/neighborhood you want to analyze.Compare actual asking and sold prices to the Zestimate for each one, put them in a spreadsheet, and develop some averages.
