Yes. I sold my house without a broker in Oct 2016. The zestimate for the house was 640k at the time I listed on MLS. This was a stupid estimate based on comparable properties on the same block. I sold my house for 750k. Today, months after the sale was recorded, the zestimate shows 657k. I think buyers in competitive markets who rely on zillow will lose several times before they learn the market. I think sellers in competitive markets can just ignore it. That said, I have never had good experiences with real estate agents. I didn't use one to sell 2 properties, and I havent used one when buying either (instead, asking to split 3% commission).
