What is your house worth?

Zillow.com introduced a beta version of its website on Wednesday. This terrific site allows you to enter an address and see the specs on the home, its valuation, the date and purchase price of the last sale, and data on comparable homes.

This is the Kelley Blue Book for home shoppers. It is a free service supported by ad sales--offering valuations on more than 40 million homes across the United States. The site offers satellite, aerial, and parcel views of the homes with information provided by different sources including HomePriceRecords.com, HomePages.com, and Trulia.com.

The site was created by a Seattle startup company with $32M in funding from Benchmark Capital, Technology Crossover Venture, and other private investors. I think this site provides a great view into public information to make it easy for home shoppers to get a quick and unofficial appraisal of their future homes and neighborhoods.

Most counties have their property taxes on-line. You can find most of this information and last qualified sale for any property with address, legal desription and even name searches, to name a few. I have Favorites to the property taxes of most of the 7 counties in the metro area.
