in my area, jacksonville, florida eppraisal.com is much closer to being true to our numbers here. The nice thing about eppraisal is they have actual sales to look at.
We have enjoyed using eppraisal. Also, I find that domania.com is good. Mostly to show actual sales.
Zillow ranges between off and way off. The problem with the free sites is that they cannot pay people to gather the data, so they have to make due with what they can buy for less than their ad revenues bring in. When you look at data from a source such as RealData or the MLS, you have a lot more data points on which to base price estimates. But in order to maintain these somebody has to pay the professionals that collect, review and refine the data.
