Heat Maps at Zillow

I love Zillow. It’s pretty dang cool to type in nearly any address and have it spit out an estimated home value. Several agents I’ve talked to have mentioned they feel the Zillow values are on the low side but are pretty close. We’ve started to look a bit at areas north of Seattle. We lived in Woodinville for six year years and loved our neighborhood. I think Kim and I long to get back there.

Zillow now has “Heat Maps” for 17 cities that visually show the how “hot” an area is based on the property’s price per square foot. Here is the map for the Seattle area. Lots of red = expensive homes.
