Bill Gates Uses Zillow To Check The Value Of His House
Funny little anecdote: Even Bill Gates checks up the value of his house on Zillow, the site that attempts to value pretty much every home out there. Zillow’s results are sure to spark a conversation, because they’re always too low (if you’re a homeowner) or too high (if you’re a buyer), which means they mirror the market perfectly, and Gates’ home’s valuation is no exception.
Zillow values the William H. Gates estate, a massive technology infested powerHouse, at $130 million. If you’re thinking, “No house could be worth that much!”, you’d be wrong, because Gates says:
If you bid that number on my house I won’t sell it to you.
Yikes! You’d probably have to sell a Photobucket just to have a chance.
Gates should check out Cyberhomes with the cool Microsoft Virtual Earth integration — a better more accurate site from a Company in the real estate field that knows what they are doing.
