find home values.....this is NOT an ad!

[Danno]

I just was shown this free web site where you can type in your address and it will give a valuation of homes in your geographic area. It's still in beta but really interesting and handy to use. My house in rural Tennessee wasn't represented as sales are really slow in our area. But in California where my family lives there are lots of valuations. It's fun to see the home prices in your area. If you are buying, selling or just dreaming then it's a great tool.
Again, this is NOT an ad. Just passing on an interesting site for those interested. www.zillow.com Danno

425k average around here.

Cool site

Its not very accurate. My house shows for 69K. We paid 120K and its worth about 150K now.

it seems to be on the high side around my neighborhood, including my house

You would think that I lived in a trailer park by the assessed value of my home. Definatly a cool site though.

Damn... My mom's 822 square foot house weighs in at $598k!

Yeah but in your area that is probably spot on.

It's the land thats valuable not neccesarily the house, though im sure its a great place.

If the property has not sold recently, it tends to get under valued. Still cool though.

 

[GSequoia]

Tim, depends on the neighbors more... The propery I was refering to hasn't been sold since about 1955

Anyone notice that the satellite image looks very recent? I wonder what service they are using? I can tell by the inclusion of some recent construction on my property. Google Earth, Terraserver, Live Earth all have older images.

It's older than last july, because my yard does not have the carport in it.

The images of my nieghborhood look like they are from Feb or Mar of last year judging by all the weeds in my back yard from the heavy rains back then.

 

[12 Volt Man]

Mine shows 98k, Just sold it for 340k. Not even close to being right for our area. Cool idea though.

 

[rock rash]

another for not very accurate, says my parents is 206k with 3 bed and two bath but actually has 4-5 brd and 3.5 bath...cool though...again.

 

[rock rash]

WOW! girlfriends is about 711k!


edit:sorry i was looking at the wrong house.

 

[ZPD]

It is pretty spot on for my neighborhood but it is probably because there have been quite a bit of house sales in the last year. We have had our house for 4 years and have gained $200k in equity- woo hoo!

 

[DaJudge]

According to them my neighborhood doesn't exist! Picture showed open desert. Progress is great isn't it?

 

[MyJeepXJ]

Thanks for the post, were getting ready to sell.

 

[Geepfreak]
