zillow.com???

As far as I understand, Zillow.com is a good resource to use, however they are not always right on targer. It is always best to have the property appraised anyway and not just rely on a website to determine the value of the property. An actual appraisal report will give you the truest value acording to the areas comps, most recent sales, property amenities, and property condition. The cost of the report can vary depending on the property and the appraiser. You can also shop around and network with more than one apparaiser. Once you've established a good partnership with one, you can rely on him or her for all of your property appraisla needs. In fact, you can ask the appraiser if he/she would be ok if you requested property value checks for them. Usually, they can do this for you at no addtl cost. Hope my response was helpful.

I agree with thinkbig - zillow is somewhat reliable but not 100%. I also use electronicappraiser.com. For 30 bucks they print out a very comprehensive report including FMV, which has always been right on target with my realtors numbers.
