Zillow.com & Onboard Informatics HVE--Home Value Estimation. Automated report using complex algorithims and public records to estimate a home's market value. The report can include information about the property, a description of comparable houses, tax values, and community features (such as demographics and price trends). It is an objective analysis and, while not perfect, can help determine value. It is not an adequate substitute for a CMA (Competitive Market Analysis), supplied by the contact Realtor, whose expertise is a major asset.
