<p>For CSS Profile purposes we are required to estimate the current value of our homes. CC posters were helpful in identifying a number of on-line real estate value estimators, including Zillow.com and the Federal government. Until recently, however, I was unable to find a source that appeared to have reasonably up-to-date information. Zillow and others were still basing their estimates on some inflated prices that some neighboring properties had sold for during the real estate bubble. I found one today that I thought I'd pass on that has current, and from my perspective fairly accurate, estimates:
Cyberhomes.com.</p>
<p>I don't know how accurate this might be in other parts of the country, but it worked well for me here in Upstate NY. Now, I just hope some more seasoned CC parent doesn't come on here and tell me the Federal government is investigating Cyberhomes for low-balling real estate estimates!</p>
