Me Too!
Okay, okay. I'll cave in and do what by now seems to be an obligatory post for most real estate related blog sites. But... I will make my post for a different reason than the others you may read. Allow me to explain.
There is a newly published website, the purpose of which is to allow homeowners to view the tax records for their property, or any other property of interest. The records are contained in a 60 million property database. The dollar value given on this site for the property is to be used as part of a formula. The resultant answer from the formula should allow the researcher to deduce what the market value of that property might be.
Since its very recent inception, many in the real estate industry have hammered away at the site as being a very poor one to be used by anyone doing research for the purpose of a market analysis. The majority of critiques mention that the values suggested do not take into account any upgrades that may have been made to the property, and are therefore inaccurate.
There is a reason I LOVE this site! It's fun! It is very entertaining and informative! It allows me to view a property and neighborhood as if I were flying overhead in a small plane! I am not going to diss the site, as I have bookmarked it, and it has proven valuable several times while trying to locate streets.
Why not visit the site, and try typing in the address for your own residence? Once the property is located, spend some time with the available buttons to: pan in and out; navigate north, south, east, and west; view the property with and with out the street names and houses shown. If you are steady enough with your mouse action on the directional controls, you will feel as though you are actually flying over the neighborhood in a light plane or helicopter looking down! You'll see the roads with the names on them as you virtually traverse the airspace above.
It is a great mapping and orientation program. It also provides some very interesting information about neighborhoods. I would enjoy hearing your thoughts about this site.
