If it was a buyer bringing the law suit, I'd be much quicker to call them a fool. However, it's a seller. And the seller is annoyed because Zillow has a very strong influence over foolish buyers. Zillow tells you that it isn't an official appraisal, but then they tell you to "Use it as a starting point to determine a home's value." In my anecdotal experience, I've noticed that people pay attention to the Zestimate, and will make decisions based on it. Should the seller win or lose? I don't know. But I understand why they brought the lawsuit, and I don't think it's particularly unreasonable.
