Chicago home builders filed a class-action lawsuit last week against real estate information company Zillow. The suit claims lowball property-value approximations are misleading would-be home buyers that have stalled sales. The  Zestimates that the Seattle-based Zillow app has calculated since 2006 pose as appraisals in violation of the legal description in Illinois of an appraisal, which needs to be conducted by a licensed appraiser, according to the suit, the first of its kind against Zillow. Zillow maintains that its approximations are not actual appraisals, nor do they claim to be.
