How much for that little house in Santa Monica?

The answer to the earlier pop quiz on the house at left: The Zillow Zestimate for this three-bedroom, one-bath home in Santa Monica 90405: $917,000.

Of course, that doesn’t mean the house is worth that much, or would sell for that much. It just means that, based on the most recent comps in that neighborhood, and the size of the house -- 933 square feet -- and the lot, that’s the Zillow computer’s best bet.

When and if prices start to fall in this neighborhood, the Zestimates will fall too.
