    @AnthonyLeeZhang @SBenzell @arpitrage I’ve been enjoying this thoughtful iteration of a conversation Arpit’s now triggered several times. Would just note (a) that stated goal of Zestimate is to predict *a* sales price (albeit in a potentially counterfactual “full-value, arms-length sale”) @lukestein/1099468532847337478

      @AnthonyLeeZhang @SBenzell @arpitrage BTW, seems like Zillow has changed language describing goal of Zestimate: no longer “an estimate of the price that a home would fetch if sold in a full-value, arms-length sale” Now an “estimate of a home's market value.” Though also some language that sounds like price prediction

      @AnthonyLeeZhang @SBenzell @arpitrage and (b) Zillow has recently launched an alternative Zestimate apparently explicitly designed to exclude some seller-side features including listing price @_krishnarao/1144472935077314560
