There was an article in the USA Today about Zillow, a site that has millions of homes listed with their appraisals and full home details. According to the article the site ranges from inaccurate to near perfect depending on location. I tried a few houses in
In addition to a detailed database you can see the listings from a satellite making this service really interesting. I can already see a cool VoIP tie-in as you could see the satellite image of the person that is calling you. Imagine satellite photo Caller-ID.
The site is in the test stage according to the USA Today.
I have to give the site lots of credit for undertaking such a massive endeavor. Although Zillow is not perfect it can perhaps over time save people trips to city hall which in my experience is worth a huge sum.

if you checked out Zillow and aren't happy with the "Zestimates" check out www.HomePriceMaps.com
We create HomePriceMaps using public records and other data available in your county so there is no estimation going on here.
Also-if you don't see any data for your area you can send an email to HomePriceMaps@gmail.com and send them your zipcode or address of interest and they will quickly post home data for your area and email you within a day or two
Zillow is pretty impressive with its mapping and recent sales data. For Illinois foreclosures and chicago real estate I think, www.ilFLS.com, the Illinois foreclosure listing service is technically better. The Illinois foreclosure listing service has illinois foreclosures, illinois auctions, illinois REOs and illinois tax sales and more.
Zillow is pretty good for real estate. I like the Illinois Foreclosure Listing Service, ilFLS.com for foreclosures, auctions and tax sales in Cook County, Lake County, McHenry County, Kane County, Kendall County, Dupage County, Will County. Illinois Foreclosures, and chicago foreclosures are in an easy to use format.
So why don't you get us all those millions of homes online here? I'm sure I'll make enough bucks outta those foreclosures.
