I think Zillow works the best in neighborhoods that were:

a.) built en masse by the same builder (therefore would have similar finishes) at the same time
b.) have similar lot sizes and grades (to remove lot's value variance as much as possible)
c.) are 2 to 5 years old (old enough to be in the tax records but not too old to have a lot of second owner upgrades)
d.) located in cities / counties with really good tax records that are online and free
e.) located in MLS areas that share real time sold prices data to Zillow.

If you have all of the above, Zillow gets within about 10%. But then again you could probably get within 10% by riding around in the car. once you start (at e moving to a) removing the above, it gets less and less accurate.

For these reasons we're a long way off from having Zillow to be accurate on Lake Martin. Even if we have all of the above, the lot price is so important on the lake, I doubt if I ever would trust it 100%.
