Summitly vs Zillow: questions answered
Is there a Zillow for Canada?
There is no separate Zillow Canada site. Zillow.com shows some Canadian listings from brokerages that send them. For Ontario, sites connected to the local MLS®, such as Summitly, REALTOR.ca and HouseSigma, show more complete listings.
Does Zillow work in Canada?
Partly. You can search Canadian listings on Zillow.com and save searches, but Zillow says Canadian listings do not have a Zestimate, and coverage depends on which brokerages send their listings.
What is the Canadian equivalent of a Zestimate?
Several Canadian sites offer automated estimates. Summitly's instant valuation estimates any Ontario address with a confidence range and shows the comparable sales it used. It is an estimate, not an appraisal.
