Did Bill and Hillary Make a Killing?

How much is your home worth? Several sites track sales data and pricing trends to estimate current market values.

To try them out, we asked four sites to appraise the Clintons' house (15 Old House Lane, Chappaqua, NY 10514), which they bought for $1.7 million in November 1999. The results varied widely:

domania.com (Web site): $2,572,684.
HomeAdvisor (Web site): $807,988 to $1,194,109.
HomeGain.com (Web site): $680,273 to $782,680.
RealEstate.Yahoo.com (Web site): $461,000 and $1,912,687.

The domania.com estimate and the higher Yahoo! estimate are based on plugging in the price the house sold for; the price is then adjusted according to how neighboring houses' prices have changed in the intervening time. Checks on other houses convinced us that past sales prices are reported accurately, but current-values estimates vary widely.
