Here’s another site I came across that is very cool. It’s called “Zillow” and it’s a real estate site that has some pretty cool features. You can do a search for an address (like your home) and it comes back with a map with the current value of the home superimposed over the map. It also shows all the prices of houses close by. It lists two prices, one based on tax information, and the other is an estimate the site makes, based on a number of criteria.
Of course, the first house I searched was my own and it turns out that our house is the highest valued home on our street. Woohoo! Very cool. I could spend hours on this site, looking up homes of people I know, looking at their neighborhoods, everything.
It might seem a little scary that this much information is available on a website like this, but all the information they present is readily available already. Each county registrar has a website that you can look up information like this with a couple clicks of the mouse. This site is really just putting all the information in a easy to read format.
Before you make your next real estate move, make sure you check out Zillow.com first!
