zillow: Good Job Zillow - 12/08/06 06:22 AM
Most folks here know I have been a Zillow-supporter all along .....  But an interesting sidebar to Zillow's introduction of property listings is the comparison with Trulia and Propsmart.

Caution: CAT BLOG AHEAD

Including random thoughts on life, art, business, stuff, and occasionally Real Estate.

Enjoy!
