War on Zillow- The Home Valuation Web Site Is Accused of Discrimination

The Zillow story can’t stay down. The New York Times weighing in, saying that the complaint is racially motivated.

Zillow.com, the Web site that provides free home valuations, has been accused by a coalition of community activist groups of undervaluing the homes in black and Latino neighborhoods.

And Zillow’s best defense is, “Our system is inaccurate all over,” only slightly mitigated by their other defense, “These numbers aren’t serious estimates.”

When you put it that way, that’s not much of defense.
