Are you predicting a) The List Price b) The price others think it is/should be c) The Close price. Wouldn't "c" make most sense? Frank Broker FranklyRealty.com FranklyMLS.com This isn’t very clear.

Are you predicting
a) The List Price
b) The price others think it is/should be
c) The Close price.

Wouldn’t “c” make most sense?

Yes, this does make it possible to cheat (somewhat). But not in the sweepstakes contest. We just added the 'edit' capability. We're evaluating if we want to somehow discount edited predictions. Hi Ivan,

The reason is because the Community Prediction changes with every prediction. Of course, you can enter the CP as your prediction value with Account B, but other players can enter very different prediction values, and the CP will change and could drift away from Account B's prediction. In addition, if a property sells during the contest period, your IQ is re-calculated because we compare your prediction value against the sale price. And we cannot know in advance which properties will sell during the contest period. :-) There is no guaranteed way to cheat. I hope that answers your question. Let me know if you have other questions. Hi Ivan,

I am register an account A to predict on a house and check the community predication and come back with another account B under my name to predict the same house using the community predicted price, in this case, my account B will get a higher IQ, always, right? How zipReality can avoid such situation? So far I think all I need is to register another account to win, am I right? I am just curious how you can avoid cheating?
