But the Peninsula is a very different creature. Neighborhoods, architecture, topography, lot sizes can all vary greatly within a few blocks in areas like Redwood City, causing Zillow's estimating model to fall apart. At the time this was written, I looked a few homes in Edgewood Park and the Zillow estimated was off by as much as $1,000,000 which would be about 30% off target.
I've also seen Zilow error on the upside which makes it difficult to convince a home seller that they should list for less. However, in the end I still prefer a world with Zillow becuase it is a fun site to visit!
