New online service that will allow you to enter an address and get values for that home and the neighbors as well as the vitals of the home. It shows the value history and current taxes.
The bad news is that it is in beta form and much work needs to be done. However, all the major cities are loaded at least to some extent. I tried my house and it came back as not being in the system----however, there it was anyway. Showed the values for the homes on several surrounding blocks and they looked pretty accurate to me. Showed comp sales and a full description of the McMansion. My only beef with the data was the 10 year value chart. Showed the house taking a 30% drop between 97 and 99. Nope, don't think so.
The nice thing is that there is no signing up. Put in an address and click. It will be very cool once they get the whole country covered.
