The biggest investment most Americans will make is their home. Now that I own a home, I find myself visiting Zillow frequently. Not only to see what my home is worth, but to see what that house sold for down the street, down the block, or a mile away. Home prices are updated on a regular basis, and you can see the price fluctuation of homes over the past 30 days (supposedly my house has gone up $15,000 in one month!). If you live in an older home, you might find some of the facts about your house are incorrect (which will make you wonder if the previous owners filed the right paperwork when they added on that master bedroom). If the information is incorrect, you can create an owner’s estimate which will give you a more accurate idea of your house’s value.

Zillow recently added some new features including the ability to post your home for sale and the “Make Me Move” pricing feature.
