This is cool. It you own a home, put in your house address (where it says Find Homes) on www.zillow.com. You will get a map of your street. Click on your house #; then house info. It shows a picture of your house (virtual earth) and either Zestimate or Tax Assessor's Value. Below the picture you can click for a larger Birds Eye View.

I haven't been on the site in a while. Last time it gave me an estimate of my house value (Zestimate). Now it only shows the Tax Assessors value (Zillow has it right). Don't know why (probably because of my house fire). Though the picture of my house is before the fire.

You can register (which I did today) and update your home info (home description - attic, basement, how many bedrooms, baths, etc.

This site was recently discussed on TV. I can't remember the program that it was on. It is a very interesting site, and does have a lot of accurate information. On the TV show, the "housing expert" said that 95% of the zestimates are high estimates. I don't know if that is true, but that's what they said. I believe my house is pretty accurate, but who knows until I try to sell it.

My BIL has his place on the market right now. The highest offer they've received is about 10% lower than the zestimate.
