It also helps the FB algorithm to see that people are engaging with your post.) 

Websites such as trulia/zillow use an algorithm to aggregate data.

The agencies have different algorithms and use different data from the data they collect.

I was under the impression if a HUD bid is accepted on HUD home store it was an algorithm that accepts it, as in no human involved.

Credit score is a function of available credit to usage.The algorithm punishes you for using most of your available credit lines.For example take 10,000 a your credit limit.7,500 or more used really hurts your score, 5,000 or more is neutral, and 3,300 or less helps your score.So 75% hurt,50% is okay, 33% or under helps.If CC's are high you can do a combo of paying some down and also asking for a credit limit increase which will lower your balance to usage ratio and should help your score rise some again.No legal advice.

In this case, I think the zestimate (based on their algorithm and not on inside appraisal, inspection or any on-site analysis) is completely misleading.

I know lots of people like organic traffic but being that the algorithms change so often I feel like the safer bet is to "pay and play".

@Michael DeStefano Many of these value estimates are very simple mass appraisal algorithms that are employed by the site you are using.
