]]> Sometimes it’s hard to sift through the millions of websites out there to find the fun, unusual, creative, and especially, the useful ones. And word of mouth can only take you so far. Well, leave it to Gadget Teaser to give you a hand in your search. Once a week, we’ll highlight one of our favorite sites that not everyone knows about. I like to think that we here at Gadget Teaser are performing a public service for you… the avid gadget blog reader the general public.

Zillow.com

This week’s Sweet Site of the Week is: Zillow.com

In a few short words I would call Zillow.com a home valuation website. But it’s so much more.

If you’ve ever in the market to buy or sell a home, Zillow.com may be one of your best friends. The website basically does most of the work your realtor does regarding home valuation. By compiling all the prices of recent sales of homes in and around your neighborhood, city, state and country, Zillow.com can give you accurate information regarding the value of your current home or the home you are looking to purchase. In the realty industry this is called comps or comparables. Much of your realtors’ job is to compile the comps so you know what you’re selling or what you’re buying is priced right. Well, this is the information age and now you don’t need a realtor for this information. Just navigate to Zillow.com and you will have all that information at your fingertips.

Recently, Zillow.com has branched out into other areas regarding home purchased. Zillow.com has a Mortgage tab where you can research mortgage interest rates, use mortgage calculators, and even get custom loan quotes. The newer Advice tab is also a nice addition. Here consumers and professionals can swap answers for burning questions on anything from buying and selling, to home improvement and mortgages. Finally, their Directory tab will get you hooked up with professionals in all areas of real estate. Lenders, agents, inspectors, movers, landscapers and the like can all be found quickly at Zillow.com.

So whether you’re buying or selling, or even waiting, using Zillow.com will give you the knowledge you need to navigate the realty market.
