A website for the masses

Have you ever been really curious about what your neigbor's house is worth, but not nosy enough to ask? Yeah, me too.

So, now there is a website for ordinary people to use so that they can find the value of stationary property pretty much anywhere in the U.S. You can also learn things about the homes researched on this site. It will tell you the square footage as well as some other details about the dwelling.

The site is Zillow.com and it uses a Google Maps-type interface. It's interesting to note that your money will buy you a lot more house in Utah than it will in some place like Beverly Hills, where a modest 2,000 sq. ft. house costs more than $1M. I also found a house north of the State Capitol that had a price of over $3.5M and was over 16,000 sq. ft. It was cool!

Chao!
