ZipRealty + Zillow Could Be a Winner

The problem with those great sites like Zillow is that the information is so far from factual and the aerial photos and street names and addresses are so old, in many cases,..some of the photos in my particular area are over 10 years old or more ! The aerial photos in my particular subdivision show huge areas that are vacant land and I know for a fact that some of the homes in those areas are more than 10 years old,...so how does that affect credability ??? Even some of the current sales prices are off by $20-$30,000 . ..so how can one see any value in visiting that site or similar ones. Unless those companies get up to date info. they are simply dead ducks !
I am a Realtor,..25 years in the practice and my own subdivision as presented by Zilllow ,..is so out of touch it is simply amazing. The values they place on homes are 5 years ago values !! LC
