2. SIGHTINGS AROUND THE WEB: Zillo.com
Zillow is a Web site with maps which lets users search for home valuations. Its founders are Rich Barton and Lloyd Frink, of Expedia.com fame. Basically, you input an address into the Web site and it shows an aerial view of the neighborhood with home values for the surrounding area. Barton posted that their estimates ("Zestimates") have a historical margin of error of 7.2 percent. The whole process began "a year ago with a few people in an office, dreaming about how the Web might be used to empower everyday people to take more control of the scary, frustrating, and exciting process of buying and selling a home." The site has information on 60 million homes across the United States.
