A big part of why we think our quarterly report data is so relevant is that it covers 125 MSA's, and goes down to the zip code and/or neighborhood level within those geographic areas. That said, we still recommend that people consult a local professional before making a serious financial decision -- Zestimates are not a replacement for a CMA or appraisal, they are a starting point. For those interested, anyone can dive into the data themselves by visiting <a href="http://www.zillow.com/quarterlies/QuarterlyReports.htm" rel="nofollow">our quarterly reports page</a> (our data analyst even built a cool little app that allows you to see the data on map).
