Really cool RealEstate Valuation Mapping technology at Zillow.com

  • Article

 Talk about Killer apps - this one is da bomb.

Zillow.com takes in your address and spits out the evaluations of the houses in and around your locale all this on a really cool Satellite/Hybrid Map.

Love it.

Thanks to Business2.0 to point me towards this!

    And would that be your $900,000 house in the middle of the picture?

    This thing was not even close to accurate.  It showed a house that I know just sold for over 1 million for 150k.

    Looks pretty, but I prefer to go to the source -- the county assessor's office.  Most assessors provide an online parcel search and sometimes even a fancy mapping applet with sat image overlay.  Examples: Snohomish and King counties in WA.

    Snohomish: http://gis.co.snohomish.wa.us/maps/property/index.htm

    King:
    http://www.metrokc.gov/assessor/

    If you still prefer the indirect route, www.redfin.com is a decent site for King county.

    These are great resources when you're home shopping.

    Cheers, Eric
