That's two blocks from my house and slightly smaller. I paid $60 per sqft in 2003 and you're asking $77 per sq ft in 2010. If you can get that, I may put my house up for sale.

I looked up the comparable sales in the neighborhood and the price seems about right. Does your house have a pool?

According to Zillow, the comparable homes in the neighborhood are going for $79/sq ft.  I think $145,000 is a pretty fair asking price for our house.  We've updated almost the whole house to get rid of the 70s feel it had.  We bought the house in 2002 and have updated a little here and little there over the last 8 years.  The pool was completely redone in 2006.

You'd probably do better not to rely on Zillow to inform your sale.  More than one realtor's told me Zillow is unreliable and more often wildly inaccurate, quite a lot of it having to do with the size of sampled area used for calculations.

Zillow is a handy comparison tool, nothing more, nothing less.  It's no substitute for an appraisal.  It can't take into account improvements nor overall condition.  It's a statistical model which compares sq. footage and price per sq. on comps in the immediate area.

our realtor is the one who came up with the asking price.  it just happens to be very close to the "zestimate".

As a full time Realtor my opinion on Zillow is somewhat dismal...old,incomplete information. Zillow has a margin of error upto 9%!

I got a newsletter saying that there are 3 houses in the neighborhood for sale. Asking price range between $52-$75/sqft

Beware of using it as a reliable tool of any kind. Here's an example of Zillow. My home. Wrong built date (I suspect they're using plat dates rather than build dates. Nothing around here pre-dates statehood). Wrong sq. footage(they seem to miss add-ons). Wrong #of baths. Wrong high school (this is critical, people shop schools). Checked on other homes in the area and most were also similarly wrong or suspect. The pic is 3 years old. Its not like this is hard to find info, this neighborhood is over 90 years old. Going to the courthouse would give you much better info.

Strangely, they were within 10% of my estimate of value. Its fun to look at but just not accurate and gives an unsophisticated agent or buyer too many reasons to low ball.

Waterboy, Zillow will allow for owner-added information.  I don't know how much weight that will give to the value, but it will straighten out discrepencies in sq. footage, bedrooms, baths, improvements, etc.  You can even add your own estimate of the value and a "make me move" price.  It will denote anything you decide to edit as provided by the owner.  Still no more scientific, but it allows you to provide a more accurate description of your house.
