Zillow.com is a website that helps you find home value estimates. You can type in your address, or any address, and Zillow will tell you information about the house such as how many bedrooms and bathrooms it has, the lot size, the year it was built and the type of heating system it has. It will also give you the estimated market value of the property. This can be very useful. You can compare the current market value of a property with what it sold for, which will tell you if real estate prices are rising in your area. Remember, Zillow only gives you an estimate of the current market value, so it may be higher or lower than what's stated.

This will show you a map of an area and display its popularity, sales and price trends. You can alter the Heat Map to display a particular neighborhood, county, state or city. It will also give you information regarding school ratings, nearby businesses and opinions from residents.
