Let's combine the satellite mapping of google with tax assessments and projected home resale value. It is on zillow.com.

Now they need a custom GPS device with a big button you can press and then instantly be sent the value for the property you are at.

I think I might know someone who knows someone that founded that company. I'll have to ask him. I'm having trouble finding out the location of their company from their web site. Even the "Jobs" section doesn't indicate which city the jobs are in.

Slightly off topic- is that site using Google data? I check data for a house I just sold, and the map detail is far better than I can get from Google's site directly.

Just check out the general Williamsburg, VA area.

I hear from people that they are based in Seattle- not 100% sure though.

My house on there is only listed at $1,000,000 more than it recently appraised for... Just a little off

Yeah, a rental property I have is overestimated by a whole order of magnitude.

Yeah, only one of about a half-dozen folks here at work reported it to have been accurate on their homes.

Yeah, my house that I sold last year is appraising at 20% more than I sold it for (which, at the time, has risen in value approximately 12% per year). I think the figures are a bit inflated.

They may be inflated for you, but they're listed at 1984 prices for me! Maybe my house is built on an Indian burial ground and they are the only ones that know about it.

Yup, my house is way undervalued on this site- I know because we (finally) just got a contract on it . . .
