Does Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor really work when looking for a new home? Personally, it is pretty much just a composite of data collection site that would robotically over or under estimate of the real value of unlisted homes. If a home is actually on the market, it may be not up to date which means it may be already be on escrow. So does it really work?
