Award winning Web 2.0 website: Zillow.com

Zillow.com is an interesting real estate website. I looked up my neighborhood to see what properties are for sale. I chose a house at 119 Lakeside Drive, Greenbelt, MD. It's a 5 bedroom, 3 bath home built in 1966. It's 1,676 square feet, vinyl siding with a finished basement. It's selling for $455,000 by owner. The listing lists special features of the home, a written description and a note about what the owners love about the house. There are photos of the house, a zestimate of the value of the house, last year's property tax ($3,693)and stats about number of homes in zipcode area, Greenbelt, Prince George's, MD and United States median house prices and historical value trends in these areas. They also provist a bird's eye view and street map of other homes in the area with their values showing at each location. This information would be helpful for customers who are thinking about putting their homes on the market, people shopping for a new home, people relocating to the area and want to see what's available in a particular neighborhood. Real estate agents, prospective buyers/sellers can post their homes, even FSBO properties. Housing trends and property tax information are also helpful information. Satillite photos of a neighborhood area marked on a street map or photos.
