Zillow

The openess of Google maps is leading to some interesting ideas of adding data to the maps displayed. Zillow.com is one such innovative use of the technology. The site maps the prices of houses for sale to Google maps, so you can browse the map and see an ariel view of the prices of available houses.

Currently in beta and currently only for the US, this service will no doubt be a popular destination for house buyers. They already seem to be anticipating a lot of traffic, and have approximately 60,000,000 house in the Database available for sale (according to their search status bar). I can see this being picked up by various national house vendors and applied to their database, and it shouldn't be too long before we see a similar search for the UK.

HomePriceMaps.com said...: as far as i know zillow uses tax assessments to estimate the value of a home.

I like to use www.HomePriceMaps.com because they show how much homes were SOLD for using the google mapping technology.

also-if you don't see HomePriceMaps for your area, simply email them your address and or zip and they'll update the site within a day or two and send you a follow-up email.; 6:57 PM
