Since I am not selling, I guess it doesn't matter, and it's only Zillow estimates, but since the beginning of the year my home is up 14.2%. That is a lot regardless.

Zillow lists the home across the street from mine as being sold for $45K more than the actual selling price. The house was sold last September. Zillow also estimates that comparable houses on my block are worth $100K less than the house that sold. I live in an older, downtown neighborhood that does not have many home sales and we are surrounded by less desirable neighborhoods. I thought homes.com did a better job of pricing although the website provided less information on the individual houses.
Zillow, Trulia, etc. are useless for me, since there is nothing remotely comparable in the area. An extremely eclectic neighborhood, with homes within ¼ mile of me worth anywhere between $60K and nearly $2M.
I imagine these sites would be great for cookie-cutter subdivisions, but not here.
