In my experience, Zillow inflates housing prices. Trulia seems more accurate. - Cristo

Cristo can suck it -- ;-) - Chris Greene

I can. But I choose not to. ;) - Cristo

Didn't Zillow used to estimate values for all houses? Now they just show listed and recently sold. - LogEx

Wow. Trulia says my place is worth 10K more than Zillow. I take back any disparaging remarks Cristo. You rock! - Chris Greene

They both estimate value LogEx. - Chris Greene

I thought it used to just show up on the map, but I figured it out, for Zillow anyway. Trulia doesn't show any info on my house. - LogEx

Click on "compare" with other properties and it will show you the estimated value of you house on the map when you hover over the pin. - Chris Greene

Trulia shows our house, but the number of bedrooms is wrong. Zillow has more current information, including our new square footage since we did construction last year. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)

Oh - so that means, Trulia can suck it. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)

Jen, you're harshin' my buzz. - Chris Greene

Oh, there it is, thanks. Trulia's comparables are not comparable at all. Yeah, Trulia can suck it. - LogEx

*BLOCKED* - Chris Greene

I think the problem is Trulia just doesn't have any info on my house, and they go to the wrong neighborhoods (in a different town even) to get comparables. - LogEx

Fact # 1 - Trulia lists my house at 10k more valuable than Zillow - Conclusion : Zillow sucks. I like my logic - Chris Greene

Zillow shows mine at about 2x what Trulia shows. Trulia has zero data though (only zip code & "Lot Size 0.00 acres"), and I think Zillow only knows the original listing info and nothing about improvements. - LogEx

As the Zillow vs Trulia smackdown heats up. - Cristo

Hi Guys! - What house are you talking about? Can you share the address w/ me? Either here or via email - rudy at trulia.com, whichever you are more comfortable with. Trulia shows active and sold properties, we do not provide estimates for individual homes. We show trends over time for homes in cities, zip codes and neighborhoods such as avg. list price and median sales price. Data from sold homes comes from assessor records. Hope some of this helps - Rudy from Trulia - Rudy From Trulia.com

Thanks Rudy, but no thanks, I'd rather stay off the radar ;) - LogEx

LOL... Zillow has no actual home data either, no bdrms, no baths, no SF (other than probably the purchase price from years ago). They have the wrong county even. Chalk up another one for tinfoil ;) - LogEx

No problem! I'm here for you privately if you ever have any questions. Best, Rudy - Rudy From Trulia.com

My house on both systems shows all data. Bedrooms, original sale price, lot size etc. It's a condo. Not sure if that has any bearing. - Chris Greene

Both seem to have plenty of data for nearby houses that have been more recently offered/sold/purchased. I think that's the main issue with my lack of data (not that I mind). - LogEx

Jebus, I hope Zillow doesn't inflate home prices. Cuz it has mine down. A lot. - Kevin Pedraja

Kevin, all real estate is local, and my original statement was based on what I'd found in the past regarding San Francisco and Palo Alto / Los Altos home prices. I haven't tried either service in the last few months, so things may have shifted. At the time, Trulia seems to have a more conservative (sober) view of the market, while Zillow seemed to still be in the bubble. - Cristo
