A friend sent me this link to Zillow today and as always, I am a skeptical website user (ie. many that I am pointed to are just OK, not as exciting as they are touted to be to me)
But, I was very surprised at just how cool this site is! And it is very well done, to boot! Of course, the first address I plugged in was my own home. The info that came back was accurate to a T and contained a lot of valuable information.
I also was able to see my neighborhood (neighbors) via something that appears to be Google's API (looks like it, anyhow) and their home values, what they last sold for, what they are valued at now, how much property taxes they currently pay, etc. All of this information is public, but it would take a lot of time of information gathering to obtain the needed info.
I love this site, it is seemingly comprehensive and I could see using it to seek out realestate information, or to just be nosey :)
Try it, I think you will be surprised at what you find!
