That means home owners are not required  to disclose what they purchased their house for. That means Zillow doesn't know what your neighbor's homes sold for, or what you bought your home for. Making their estimates without public records makes Zillow very inaccurate in Utah.

So the question is do they estimate too high or too low. Because it still provides a starting point right? Unfortunately wrong. If their estimates were always high or always low it could still offer some value, but with no information to go on their estimates are all over the place.

Short Sale in West Valley- Get a Great Deal on a Home

If you are looking for a great deal on a home, then considering a short sale in West Valley is the way to go. But you may be asking yourself, " What is a short sale?"
