A U.S. District Court in Illinois on Monday dismissed a lawsuit against real estate technology giant Zillow over the company’s marketing practices and its home value estimate (Zestimate) tool.

District Court Judge Amy St. Eve granted Zillow’s motion to dismiss the complaint with prejudice and dismisses the lawsuit in its entirety, according to the filing. The original lawsuit was thrown out in August 2017, but the plaintiffs came back with an amended complaint.

“We are pleased that the court has dismissed the claims in this lawsuit not once, but now twice — finding the allegations in the lawsuit without merit,” a spokesperson for Zillow told Inman. “The Zestimate has proven itself to be a sought-after and valuable free tool for consumers.”

The original complaint — filed by real estate attorney Barbara Andersen on behalf of Vipul Patel, Bhasker Patel, Jyotsna Patel and Castlebldrs.com — argued that Zillow’s Zestimate tool made it difficult for homes being sold without an agent to get market value. Andersen had previously sued Zillow herself over the Zestimate tool, but dropped the original suit to file this most recent complaint.

The plaintiffs stated that Zillow hurts for sale by owner homes (FSBO) and coerces sellers into retaining a real estate broker — by marking homes FSBO with low Zestimates and homes listed by Zillow’s premier brokers with high Zestimates. They further argued that the Zestimate was an opinion of value without proper due diligence or permission and that Zillow refused to take down those opinions of value when challenged.

Ultimately, St. Eve writes in the decision that the plaintiff’s claim failed “because Zestimates are not false or misleading representations of fact likely to confuse consumers. More specifically, based on Plaintiffs’ allegations and statements made on Zillow.com, Zestimates are merely an estimate of the market value of a property — as supported by Zillow.com’s statements that Zestimates may not be accurate.”
