Large shift in Zestimate, how does it work?

I'm wondering if someone can help me out with this particular Zestimate: 

https://www.zillow.com/homedet...

Does anyone know how you can have a Zestimate fall by 25% in such a short period of time.

I've reached out to a contact at Zillow to try to find out, but figured I'd try here too!

@Jason Weeks

My thoughts are unfortunately darker than to suggest Zillow has become complacent and is offering bad data references.... I actually think that both Zillow and RrdFin have a new agenda as they have both entered into the purchasing and selling of real estate so that have a vested interest in reducing their acquisition costs.

I contact Zillow 3 or 4 times when they mysteriously reduced the Zestimste on one of my properties by about $40,000 and they never replied to me. In the past they were more attentive and followed up when I contacted them.

Thanks and good luck!
