All I do is use them to easily see homes for sale and what they are listed for and to look at the details to get a rough idea of the market.  I agree that using a realtor website connected to MLS is the only way to go if you are actually looking.  I am not and find both those sites useful for general market conditions and much easier to use. 

I am curious, if a home is listed on one of them for a price is that number wrong?  If so, then these sites are more than worthless.  I do know that they do have the correct information on the date and sales price of the homes I have bought but don't take their estimates of home values seriously.  But since I am not actively looking I haven't gone to the actual listing to compare what is on zillow or trulia.  Do they accurately reflect the offering price of homes?
