Way off topic here but just had an interesting conversation about the Zillow website that tracks housing prices. My daughter checks this out every few months to see how her new house is 'holding up' in price compared with houses for sale and houses that sold. Recently, a house on her block shows that it sold for $10. Within the next month the value of every house on her block dropped at least $100k. The house across the street dropped 50%. These numbers do not hold up when viewing actual sold property accounts in the newspaper. So, it appears that one house with the wacky price is changing everyone's marketable price on this website.
In case you are looking at that site for ideas on housing prices, keep in mind something like an inter-family sale can throw off the whole neighborhood.
