Yahoo! integrates with Zillow for instant Real Estate valuations

Yahoo Real Estate logoI've not used the Yahoo! Real Estate service before, but this post to the Yahoo! Search blog perked my interest...

Yahoo! has integrated a few of it's services with Zillow to give you instant home valuations of any address in the US.

A map of the area is displayed using Y! Maps beta technology (so you can move it around \ zoom \ switch to satellite) that displays comparable homes in that area - but you don't get the 'Bird's Eye View' option that you get from Zillow's mapping (it uses Windows Live Local for that)

The Yahoo! team have also added a new Y! Shortcut - type in 'home values' into a Y! Search bar and the first entry will allow you to input an address to lookup.

I've played with Zillow before - it's quite a bit of fun comparing your house to those in the neighborhood, it's also scary just how much information they have on you.
